Manage customers (groups)

A Group is the second level under your company's platform, a collection of accounts to hold funds and place orders. Each platform contains one or more group, only one of which may have the same name as the platform. Groups cannot be deleted or disabled once created.

Coming soon

Note: Customers are also known as Groups in Tango. We are planning to update our API endpoints in our V3.0 release to replace Customers with Groups.

Use cases

• Enterprises: In ABC enterprise, all departments or divisions have their own groups. The manager of each department or division has control over all accounts in their department. They can create multiple accounts for teams, projects, budgets, or anything that needs funds tracked separately. They can also create groups for accounts that require a controlled access; for example, team A has a separate group than team B since the two teams do not need access to each other's account.
• Small Companies: In an small company, groups are set up by:
  • Accounts such as Internal programs, sales initiatives, and employee moral.
  • Customer programs such as loyalty accounts, or referral accounts.
  • Platform customer with sub customers. In platform customers, each customer has their own group; sub customers can have multiple projects or budgets with the platform customer depending on their budget needs.
