Keeping track of your customers is important — GrowFlow retail makes it easy to create profiles for each customer/patient to easily track purchase history, enforce purchase limits, accrue loyalty points, and more.

This short article will review how to add Customer profiles in GrowFlow Retail.

Customer profiles are broken up into several sections. Use the links below to jump to a specific section:

To add a new Customer profile:

1. Click on Customers.

2. Click the green "+" button in the top-right corner of the screen.

3. The Add New Customer modal will pop up. This is where you will enter details about your customer. Any fields that are marked with a red asterisk are required and must be filled out before saving the Customer profile.

1. Set a Customer profile to Inactive by setting the Active toggle to the off position. Inactive profiles will still be saved in your account, but new orders can not be created from them.

2. If you are using a 2D-capable scanner, you can click the Scan ID button and then scan the customer's state ID or driver's license to automatically populate some of the fields under Basic Info (name, DOB, license number, and expiry date).

For more information on creating a customer profile with a scanner, please refer to this article.

3. If you have a Medical/Recreational store, you will have the option to designate the customer as Medical or Recreational. If your store is only Medical or only Recreational, you will not have to select a designation.
