Customers
How to add, find, and open a customer — explained step by step for shop staff.
What is this page?
The Customers page is your address book of borrowers. Before you can give a gold loan (pledge), the person must exist here as a customer.
Route: Parties → Customers (/parties/customers).
Why you use this page
- Store name, mobile, address, ID proof in one place.
- Open a customer to see all their pledges and use Add Pledge.
- Search quickly when the same person comes again.
What you see on the screen
What you will see on the screen
- Title — “Customers” at the top left.
- Manage Columns — show/hide table columns (Customer ID, Name, Mobile, Address, etc.).
- Filter — search by name, mobile, area; badge shows how many filters are active.
- New Customer — red button top right (only if you have permission).
- Table — one row per customer; eye icon opens full details.
- Empty state — if no customers yet, you see a friendly message and New Customer button.
Step-by-step: add a new customer
Open Customers
Left sidebar → Parties → Customers.
Click New Customer
Top right → click the red button New Customer. A popup (modal) opens.
Fill basic details
Enter at least:
- Customer name (required)
- Mobile number (very important for search later)
- Salutation (Mr / Mrs / Ms) if shown
- Relation (example: S/o, W/o) if your shop uses it
Fill address
- Address line
- Area (pick from list — comes from Area Master)
- City, state, pincode
Fill identity (if required by your shop)
- Aadhaar number
- PAN number
- Upload profile photo or ID scans if the form has upload boxes
Save
Click Save (or Submit) at the bottom of the popup.
Wait until you see a green success message. Do not close early.
Open the customer for a pledge
Find the new row in the table → click the eye icon → in customer details click Add Pledge (see Create a pledge).
Step-by-step: find an existing customer
Use Filter
Click Filter → type mobile number or name → apply.
Open details
Click eye on the correct row. Double-check mobile number so you do not open the wrong person.
Step-by-step: edit a customer
Open customer details
Eye icon on the row.
Click Edit Customer
Top right → Edit Customer (outlined button).
Change fields and save
Update mobile, address, or documents → save. Old pledges stay linked to this customer.
Tips
- Always search by mobile before creating — avoid duplicate customers.
- Keep Aadhaar/PAN photos clear if you upload them — helps during audits.
- If Delete is available, use only when admin allows; deleting may be blocked if pledges exist.
