What a customer record contains
Customer records store both administrative data and sales context:- Company information: Legal name, tax ID, industry, and address
- Contact persons: Multiple contacts with roles (billing, technical, executive)
- Billing details: Payment terms, currency, billing address, tax exemptions
- Pricing context: Assigned pricebook, discount tier, or custom pricing rules
- Relationship history: All quotes, orders, contracts, and Dealrooms associated with this customer
- Custom fields: Additional data fields configured by your admin
Customer records are separate from user accounts. A customer is a company you sell to; users are people who log into Qwoty (your team or Dealroom guests).
