How do I search for a customer on the Search / Lookup a customer?

To search for a customer or company click on Customer and Search / Lookup Customer

When searching for a customer using the Search / Lookup a customer page it is best to search for the customer in three easy steps.
Use the fields available one at a time.  Each field will reduce the results based on each entered text in each field.
The results based on your search text and selected fields will display below.

If you are searching a customer from your customer account (ID) enter the customer account ID in the white field box found to the right of Adv Search.

Firstly ask the customer for the company they are associated with and in the Search / Lookup a customer page in the "Company Field" enter the name of the company.  Ask the customer for the spelling if unsure.

  1. If the results are zero or have not found the correct company, then proceed below.

 

Secondly ask the customer for their full name or just their last name/surname and in the Search / Lookup a customer page in the "Full Name Field" enter the name of the customer.  Ask the customer for the spelling if unsure.
