Adding a Customer from the Admin Area (do not need email)

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help....

Our company takes many orders over the telephone, and we need to use Zen-Cart to hold their names, addresses, and phone numbers for shipping purposes on their orders. Since these customers order only via telephone, we DO NOT need to store their emails for this reason, and several of them have requested that we not ask for their emails. As a result we have to write down on pen and paper their information and keep them stored away elsewhere which gets very frustrating...

I have searched through the threads and cannot find a solution. Is there some way we can create for them profiles in our admin area to more easily search for their shipping information when placing/filling an order?

Also, while this part isn't a necessary step, is there a way to create an invoice for them within the admin area?

Thanks and I look forward to your response!:smile:

also i need to add that I have tried the Add Customer to Admin mod and can't get it to work. Figures :( thats my sort of luck. So anyone who can help please, i would appreciate it very much! :)

Since Zencart uses the email address as a unique identifier, you'll need that (or use one you create) for each customer. (I have some thoughts about the sort of customers who don't want to provide an email address to an online store, but another time ...).

What problems did you have with the Add Customer to Admin mod ? I've used it successfully (though not with version 1.5.0).

You could use [email protected], where 555555555 is replaced with their telephone number.
