You can add customers in a few ways, depending on what is the most convenient for you at a given moment:
- directly in the customers module: Adding customers in the customers module allows you to enter most customer details. It is particularly convenient when adding multiple customers at once.
- in the appointment book while creating appointments: When new customers visit your business for the first time or call to schedule appointments, you can create an account for them conveniently in the new appointment window, which allows you to schedule an appointment and create customer records at the same time.
- in the inventory module while entering a sale: If new customers walk in and want to buy a product, instead of scheduling a visit, you can quickly create their accounts in the sale window.
