Depending on your business model, you might want to create customers manually when processing phone or in-person orders or when migrating data from another platform.  This ensures all customer details are accurately recorded in the system, allowing for better order tracking, personalized service, and marketing opportunities. To create a customer, navigate to the Customers tab of the admin dashboard.
Create a Customer
 Click on the ‘+ Create Customer’ in the top right corner to open the customer creation form.
Create a Customer
 Simply type in the customers details (only an email address is required) and click ‘Create’ and you’ll be redirected to the newly created customers admin page. Tip: Add customer tags like “VIP,” “Frequent Buyer,” or “Wholesale” to categorize customers based on purchasing behavior or status. Other tags such as “New Customer,” “Flagged for Review,” or “High-Value” can help streamline marketing efforts, customer service, and order management.

 With this information added, the customer can now be added to manual orders at the click of a button.

Congratulations, you’ve just created a customer account!
