WHERE TO FIND IT
Customers
Step by step
Search by name or phone before creating a record to avoid duplicates.
Choose New customer, enter their name and confirmed contact details, then save.
Select a group or approved credit limit only when your manager authorises it.
Select the customer at checkout; use their tabs to review purchases, payments and statements.
Groups, credit and customer history
- Save billing and shipping addresses and verified contact details. Use purchase, payment, return, statement and loyalty tabs to review the whole account.
- Create customer groups with a default discount and loyalty multiplier. Leave a customer’s discount blank to inherit the group; enter a personal rate to override it, including zero to remove the inherited discount.
- Enable credit and set the approved limit where appropriate. Review outstanding invoices and aged receivables before increasing a limit; a discount does not grant credit permission.
Import and export customer records
- Download the template or export current customers. Prepare consistent names, codes, country-code phone numbers, groups and addresses. Import does not change balances or loyalty points.
- Map columns and review matches and conflicts before importing. Choose the intended handling for existing records, correct rejected rows and check a sample customer profile afterwards.
Customer fields and profile tabs
- The name is required; add email, country and phone when needed. Use the selected country’s valid phone format for messages and reminders.
- Customer tabs bring together sales, returns, payments, statement, quotations and loyalty where permitted. Each tab has its own URL for bookmarking and applies the relevant access permissions.
- Set a customer group for shared discounts and earning multipliers. Credit allowance controls unpaid purchases; store credit is money already received and available to spend, not permission to borrow.
Check a customer’s store credit history
- Open the saved customer and select Store credit. Review the current credit balance above the movement history.
- The history shows credit added, used, adjusted or transferred, with date/time, source reference, reason, store, amount, balance after and the staff member. Search the history and use pagination to find a particular bill or payment.
- Positive amounts add credit and negative amounts use or remove it. Balance after is the recorded balance at that moment; the balance at the top is the customer’s current company-wide credit.
- Credit history follows the customer-payment permissions and accessible stores. For a period across customers, open Reports → Store credit.
