Changing Customer ID#'s. Is it possible?

I searched and couldn't find any posts related to this. :book:

I have built a new website, using ZenCart. I noticed that my customer numbers started with ID# 1, ID# 2, ID#3 etc.
Do my customers see that as their customer ID# ?
I don't want them knowing I am just starting out, I would like to appear a bit more established.
I have already changed the order ID# starting at a higher number for that purpose; Can I change the starting number for customer ID# ?

Thanks in advance, :blush:

There is no built-in way to do that using any provided admin tools.

Thanks for the reply Hon !
One question, do the customers ever see that number, or is that for Admin only?
:wacko:

Thanks Dr !

The customers seldom see it, and may not even recognize it as such if they did see it.
