Setting Up Customer Categories and Interests

Setting Up Customer Categories and Interests

Retailer allows you to assign customers to particular Categories and Interests, which can then be used for reporting as well as the Marketing Tools.
Each customer can have up to 3 Categories and 3 Interests each.

NotesCategories and Interests have been superseded by Customer Tags.
We recommend using Tags as they are easier and are not limited to 3 per customer.
