Customers | Add Customers in 1.0

Whether you need to add one customer or dozens, it's easy!

Important Note: Once you add a customer, they must verify their email and activate their account through the invite OR from a catalog you send them. Once they have activated their account and created their password, they can sign in through your URL or website. 

You need these customer details to add them to Local Line:

1. Account Name (this can be a business name "Jack's Pub" or a consumer name "John Smith")
2. Email Address (case-sensitive)
3. Phone Number (Use a placeholder if you do not have a number.)
4. City
5. Zipcode/Postal Code

Your customers can add more of their information when they register their account. Customers that have not yet registered their account display an Unregistered tag beside their name.

There are Two Ways to Add Customers

1. Bulk Import Customers - great for when you first sign up.
2. Individually Add Customers
