Adding new customers and updating existing ones.

There are two ways of adding and modifying customer information from the "Customers" dashboard page. Keep in mind, at any time it is also possible to create and update customers via the API. Head over here instead - https://docs.vouchery.io/reference#customers if you'd like to add and modify customers automatically.

Adding a single Customer

  • Adding a single customer manually is enabled by clicking on the green "Add new customer" button. Here you can specify the identifier, loyalty points as well as the category that belongs to a single customer.

Uploading Customer List

  • The yellow button allows you to add a batch of up to 10000 customers via .csv file. After adding the file, the customer information will be added and can be modified as needed, manually or via the API.

Please keep in mind - when you add a text in the header other than "email", "name", "loyalty_points", we will assume this is a customer segment category and such information will be added to the customer profile. Please check the example file:
