Customers are separate from users. A customer is a company or person you sell to; users are the people on your team who sign in to Qwoty. Customer contacts access quotes through the Dealroom.
Sections of a customer record
There is no parent/child hierarchy between customers. Each customer is a standalone record, optionally grouped with others in a segment.
Contacts and roles
Each customer can have several contacts. A contact has First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, and a Role:
Linked resources
Linked resources control what’s available when you create a quote for this customer. If you link resources, only those are offered, for example only the linked pricebooks. The customer record doesn’t store prices, discount tiers, or a currency. Pricing comes from the pricebooks available to the customer (linked to the customer, its segment, or the template). How the customer, segment, and template levels combine depends on the Association Resolution Mode (see Segments).Custom fields
Admins can add custom fields to customers in Settings › Data › Data Model. Each field can be Mandatory, Editable by sale, and Display for customer. See Create a customer custom field.Common questions
