Customer Access Center to View Current and Past Order Details

Modified on: Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 11:50 AM

The Customer Access Center (CAC) allows customers to securely view their current and past orders after purchase. Customers receive an Order Confirmation Email with a “View Order” button and can log in via OTP verification. System-generated emails and portal content now automatically display in the customer’s preferred platform language.
