Where is the Customer # ?
« on: January 09, 2018, 11:43:21 PM »
I'm new to AbanteCart cart so I'd appreciate some help.

I get an email saying that "Customer #22" has registered on my site.  But when I look at my customer listing I don't see any numbers, just their info.

I would like to know which customer just registered so I can add their name and email to a list that I keep outside of AbanteCart.  But without knowing which customer goes with each number, I'm at a loss.  Especially if I get multiple customers in the same day.

I thought I might try exporting the customer list and it might have the numbers with the names but I don't see any way to do that either.

Also I would like to input my customer list from my old website into AbanteCart but without an import/export function I'm not sure I can do that.

Any of your thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks
Frank

Hello.

To quick access recently registered customers in admin click top right side icon https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/22609987/Side+Panels

You can export/import customers with CSV https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/15007876/Import

Basara,

Thanks for your quick response.

The side panel does show recent customers.  I had never tried that one before.  However it doesn't show the customer # so I'm not able to match it up to the notice email that I did receive.

So I can assume that the most recent ones on the top are the latest.  Then I will have to look them up and see what date they were added.  Again, if the Customer # were shown along with the name that would solve the problem.

The export function works great.  It does include the customer # so this will help me figure out who is who.

Pros - your suggestions are great and will let me find out which customers have recently registered.
Con - it's a fair amount of work and requires exporting, then converting the .tar file to a .csv file, then looking up the customer #.  It is doable but in my opinion it's a lot of work to have to do each time I want to match a customer to the customer #

IDEA: Is there any way to add the customer name to the notice email that I receive when a new customer registers on my site?  In my opinion this would be an easy and quick solution. 

I really like AbanteCart cart and am glad I found it.  This so called problem of mine is a fairly minor one.  It's just one of those things that I think would be nice to have for me.

Thanks again for your reply.
Frank

In the recently registered when you hover mouse browser will show you link and customer id will be inside like &customer_id=14

Can you please tell me where to position the mouse in order to see the customer #?  Is it somewhere inside the backend?

Thanks
Frank
