Add Customers from Admin 2.0 (1.5.0 and later) [Support Thread]

[lat9]

Hi,
I've just installed Add Customers From Admin version 1.5.0.
I'm adding customers details individually as and when a customer calls us.
Just wondering if there is a way to switch off the customer's e-mail address field so that it's not necessary to enter an e-mail address?
This would be handy for us as most of our customers who place an order over the 'phone do so because they are not familiar with using web sites and don't have an e-mail address.
Thanks in advance,
Christine

Chrissy, unfortunately it's the customer's email-address that Zen Cart uses to identify which customer you're dealing with.

Perhaps instead of using Add Customers from Admin to define those unique customer accounts, you could create an "order-taker" account that's associated with one of the store's email addresses.

That way, you'd change the bill-to and ship-to addresses for every order, but then you'd have an easy record of what orders were placed over the phone, too.
