# Customer-facing portal

## What the customer-facing portal is

The customer-facing portal gives your customers a self-serve view of their own account, so they can check their billing information without contacting you directly. It's a separate, customer-facing surface from the Zenskar dashboard you use internally.

## How customers access the portal

Access to the portal is session-based rather than a persistent login. You generate a portal session, either from the dashboard or through the API, and that session produces a URL your customer can use to view their account. The session expires after a period of inactivity.

The portal can be linked to directly, or embedded inside your own website or product, so your customers never have to leave your site to check their billing information.

## What customers can see in the portal

A customer viewing their own portal can see:

* Invoices, including status, amount due, billing period, and due date.
* Payments, including a history of transactions such as invoice payments and refunds.
* Entitlements associated with their account.
* Their own profile, which they can view and edit within the fields you allow.

Zenskar's underlying API also supports surfacing contracts and payment methods in the portal. Whether your customers actually see those depends on how your portal is configured, ask your account team if you want them included.

## Customizing the portal

Zenskar's API supports customizing the portal's branding, logo, color scheme, and business profile information, to match your own, so the portal can feel like a natural extension of your product rather than a generic third-party page. Ask your account team about setting this up.

## What's still on the roadmap

Reporting inside the portal is not yet available.
