Customer Association
WebWorkstationMobileAttach a customer to a sale when you need customer history, alerts, saved cards, memberships, booking ownership, deposits, receipts, or follow-up records.
Permission Required
You need Salespoint access. Creating or editing customer records requires Customers & Contacts access.
Attach A Customer
- Open ZynoSales > Salespoint.
- Select the customer field at the top of the cart.
- Search by customer name, email, phone number, or birthdate.
- Select the matching customer.
The cart shows Customer (optional) when no item requires a customer. It shows Customer when the sale includes an item that requires one.
Create A Customer From Salespoint
- Open the customer search field.
- Type the customer's name or identifying information.
- Select Create new customer.
- Complete the customer details.
- Save the customer record.
After the customer is created, ZynoSuite attaches it to the current sale.
Use A Name Without Creating A Customer
If a customer record is not required, the search window can show Don't create customer. Use this when you only need a temporary customer name on the sale and do not want to create a Customers & Contacts record.
This option is hidden when an item requires a real customer record.
Open Or Remove The Customer
After a customer is attached:
- Select the customer icon to open the customer profile.
- Select the X in the customer field to detach the customer from the sale.
- Watch for customer alert indicators next to the customer field.
Item-Level Customers
Some items can require a customer for the item itself, such as memberships, per-customer limits, or booking-related items. Select the item in the cart and choose Set Customer or Change Customer when that action is available.
Why It Matters
Attaching the right customer can enable:
- Saved card payments.
- Membership discounts and credit pools.
- Customer purchase history.
- Booking and scheduling records.
- Receipt delivery to a known email or phone.
- Customer alerts visible during checkout.
Common Issues

| Payment is blocked | A required customer may be missing from the sale or item |
| Saved card is missing | Confirm the sale is attached to the customer with the stored card |
| Customer search finds too many results | Search by phone, email, or birthdate |
| You only need a display name | Use Don't create customer when available |
