Managing Your Customers

The Customer List is accessible from the Customers menu on your Admin panel. It shows all customers that have purchased something from your store, or have abandoned their shopping carts while they were browsing through your store. Each line on the Customer List corresponds to a customer profile - clicking on a record on the Customer List opens the corresponding customer profile.

Viewing the Customer List

By default, the Customer List shows all your customers, but you can refine this view to suit your purposes. For example, if you are searching for a customer, you can create a filter that looks for the customer's full name so that only that particular record is displayed on the Customer List.

To Filter the Customer List

  1. On your Admin panel, click Customers.
  2. On the Customer List, click the All customers link at the top to display the Refine view box.

Viewing a Customer's Profile

The Customer Profile acts as a dashboard for the customer and displays summarized data and links to all orders.

To View a Customer's Profile

  1. On your Admin panel, click Customers.
  2. On the Customer List, click the customer record you want to view.
  3. On the Customer Profile, the customer's order history is sorted from newest to oldest. The order history shows the date and time, payment and shipping status, and the total amount of each order. The customer's lifetime spend, or the combined total of all orders made by the customer from your store, is also displayed, as well as the customer's shipping and billing addresses, email address, contact number, and payment details. You can also enter notes about the customer, and view the tags of the products that the customer ordered from your store.
