When you create a new customer, you create a customer profile, which is a summary of a customer’s contact information, default shipping address, and billing address. It also includes information about the customer’s activity on your site, such as the customer’s order history.
To create a new customer profile:
Click the Customers tab.
Click the Create New Customer link.
The system displays the Customer Information page.
Add the customer’s contact information. Required fields are noted with an asterisk. When you have entered valid data into the field, the asterisk will change to a checkmark.
Click Save. The system responds that the information for the customer has been updated.
Once you have saved the customer information, additional panels will become available. Add any additional information to the customer profile, including additional addresses, credit cards, credits or promotions or notes as needed.
