A customer is someone to whom you provide goods and services on credit and from whom you agree to receive payment for these goods and services. Customers are also known as Trade Debtors and Accounts Receivable.

In Readysell, you set up a card for each customer to track all transactions associated with them. This includes sales, service orders, invoices, payments and credits.

The steps below guide you through the actions required to set up a customer in Readysell. Depending on the way your system is set up, you may need to fill in some other fields. If you try to save a customer record without filling in all required fields, Readysell will tell you which fields you still need to fill in.
