How do I add a customer account myself?

Go to Customers → Manage Customers and click Add Customer — the Add User form opens.

1. Enter Name, Email (this is their login), Phone Number with Country Code and a Password — all four are required.
2. Optionally add a Profile Image, a Customer Group (with the Customer Groups plugin) and any of your Custom Fields.
3. Leave confirmation to send a mail ticked to email them their login details.
4. Click Add User.

The account is active straight away. If they forget the password, open the customer, go to the Change Password tab, set a new one and tick Email the new login details to the customer.
