## Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the sidebar menu.
2. Select **Customers** from the menu. You will see all your existing customers here.
3. Click the **Add Customer** button at the top right of the customer list.
4. Enter the customer's information. See the [field explanations](/docs/store/customer/overview#field-explanations) for details on each field.
5. Click **Save**. The new customer will appear in your list and can be used for orders, loyalty programs, and more.

## Tips

- You only need a name to add a customer. More details help you serve them better.
- Use the **Notes** field for anything special about the customer (e.g., "Prefers window seat").
- Adding a phone or email lets you send digital receipts and promos.
- You can always edit or delete customer info later.
- Encourage staff to add new customers at checkout for loyalty programs.

## Best Practices

- Double-check spelling to avoid duplicate entries.
- Ask for permission before adding contact details for marketing.
- Use birthdays and notes to personalize service and build loyalty.
- Keep customer info up to date for smooth communication.
