  #### 2. That's it! Member is either banned or unbanned.
  
    - After a Member is "Banned" their status will show within the product profile as BANNED and the option to "Add to Queue" will be hidden, preventing them from being added to any queue.
    - Within the Dispatch section when a member is searched for, the "Banned" icon should show and cannot be added to the queue. When trying to add to the queue, the member info page will pop up.

  #### 2. That is it!
  
    - Banned members will not be able to add items to their cart for orders placed in WooCommerce or our BLAZE Widget. An error message will display that their account has been banned.
    - For online orders submitted in Weedmaps, items will be able to be added to the banned member's cart, but the order will fail when it's submitted to BLAZE, and the banned member will get a notification that their order has been canceled.
