  1. From the Customers list, click the + Add Customer button, usually found at the top right of the list.
  2. A form will appear. Fill in the customer's First Name and Last Name.

  5. If they have a delivery address, enter it in the Address fields.

  7. Click Save Customer to add them to your list.
Note: You can also add a new customer on the fly when you are creating a new order. If you start typing a name in the customer field and they don't appear, you'll see an option to create a new customer profile right there.

Viewing and Editing Customer Details

Each customer has a dedicated detail page where you can see all their information and history.
