A customer on the sale lets you use their loyalty points, their store credit or their customer account, and create a record for them if they have none. You add them before paying, when the customer comes to the register.

Before you start ​

  • Your role must allow selling (permission Sell at the register) and managing customers (permission Manage customers). Without the second permission, the customer field does not appear.

Adding a customer who already has a record ​

To attach an existing customer to the sale:

  1. At the top of the cart, click in the Add a customer field.

    The top of the cart, the Add a customer field outlined, above the items

  2. Type the customer's name, phone, email or customer code, at least two characters. The Customers found list opens under the field.

  3. Click the customer's record.

Changing or removing the customer ​

The ⋯ button (Customer actions) opens a menu:
