Upload Names List Via School Portal

Through the School Portal, you can offer schools the option to upload a names list with the benefit of having all customer data hidden prior to orders, even though the data will be used in communication profiles and newsletters. 

The names list upload via the school portal and also the school's option to set up an own password are additional features, please reach out to support in order to have it activated in your account.
