Add customers and their billing currency
You can invoice a customer once they have a record with a Billing currency. Customers who buy online create their own record. You add the ones who order by phone or in person.
Add a customer
Section titled “Add a customer”- Go to Customers and choose Add a customer.
- Under Customer type, choose A business or A person.
- Fill in the Registered business name or the Full name. It goes on invoices.
- For a business, add the TIN, the Contact person and the Company number if they have them.
- Enter the Phone · this is their sign-in, with its country code, for example +250 788 000 000.
- Add their Email, District or city and Language for messages.
- Choose the Billing currency. Only the currencies you sell in are offered.
- Leave Email them a welcome with a link to set up their own sign-in ticked if they should get one. It needs an email address.
- Choose Save customer.
You never set or see a customer’s password. They choose their sign-in themselves.
If the phone number already belongs to a customer, Taji says so and offers to open them. Adding them again would split their invoices.
If your plan is full, you can still add customers. Taji shows a note about your plan instead of stopping you.
The billing currency
Section titled “The billing currency”The country sets the currency when a customer is created. You can change it until their first invoice is made. After that it is fixed, because invoices never change currency.
To change it, open the customer and choose Edit details. If a currency you have since turned off is still theirs, it is still shown.
The customer record
Section titled “The customer record”Open a customer from Customers. The buttons at the top are New order or quote and Send payment link. The tabs are:
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Overview | Owes now, Paid, all time, their details and the latest activity |
| Services | Their hosting and domains |
| Invoices | Their invoices |
| Wallet | Their Balance and Recent activity |
| Tickets | Their support tickets |
| Documents | Files they uploaded, such as a VAT exemption |
| Notes | Staff notes. Customers never see notes. |
| Messages | Every message sent to them, and whether it arrived |
| Activity | What happened on the account, from the audit log |
Staff with the right role can also choose Suspend… at the top of the record. They give a reason. Only staff see it, and it is written to the audit log with their name.
