Merge customers

If you find duplicate customers, you could remove duplicates by merging customers.

To merge a customer:

  1. Go to Sales > Customers.
  2. Find the customer you would like to merge and open for editing.
  3. Click Merge.
  4. In a new pop-up window, find and select a customer for merging.
  5. Click Merge.

The customer will be deleted and all related data will be moved to another customer you chose.

Please be careful when merging the customers. This action cannot be undone.

Deactivate customers

By default each new customer created manually or imported is activated. To remove not active customers from a list, deactivate them. It will no longer be possible to create an offer, order, or contract for this customer, or link them to a ticket.

To deactivate a customer:

  1. Go to Sales > Customers.
  2. Find a customer and open for editing.
  3. Uncheck the Active checkbox next to the company name field.
  4. Click Save or Save and Close.

Obfuscate customer data

Customer data obfuscation replaces customer data, like name and contact information with fake data.
Not to keep personal customer information longer than needed, you could obfuscate the data on a shop level or manually on a customer level.

To keep certain customer contact information when obfuscating on a shop level, uncheck Obfuscate enabled.

To manually obfuscate customer:

  1. Go to Sales > Customers.
  2. Find a customer and open for editing.
  3. In the Topic menu select Customer Data Obfuscation topic.
  4. Click the Obfuscate button.
  5. Click Save or Save and Close.

The obfuscation changes the customer contact information to fake data which affects all connected offers and orders. Customer emails, VoIP calls and chat conversations are permanently deleted from the system.

Please note

Order, offer, tickets and customer contact information cannot be obfuscated while the corresponding entities are in the active status.
