Overview

This article walks you through adding many customers at once from a spreadsheet, and choosing which fields you collect about them. By the end, you'll be able to import or update your whole user list in one go.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to the Admin Panel as a store admin.

Step 1: Configure your user fields

  1. Go to Settings > Customer identity.

  2. Choose the Primary identifier (Employee Number or Email) used to match people on re-import.

  3. Under Field Configuration, tick which fields are Visible in the import and which are Required.

Step 2: Download the template

  1. Download the spreadsheet template so your columns match your configured fields.

Step 3: Import your file

  1. Go to Customers and click Import employees.

  2. Upload your .xlsx file (up to 5,000 rows), then follow the steps: Map columns, Fix errors, Review, Done.

  3. Choose a mode: Add & update only (adds new and updates existing) or Replace roster (anyone not in the file is deactivated).

Note: Replace roster deactivates anyone not in the uploaded file (they lose store access and login). You'll get a chance to confirm first.
