You can add Addresses and Contacts for existing Customers from the import of a CSV file.
If you have not created Customers yet, you will need to do so before adding the customer address and contact information. Please refer to this Zedonkopedia lesson: Data Import - General Details.
From Customers dropdown menu select [Data Import - Addresses]
You must complete the Mandatory Columns as listed on the Data Import page
Select [Download Template] to download .csv template
The CSV template file will download onto your computer.
You only need to populate the columns you want to use - you can delete the others.
A few things to note ...
TYPE
ST = Store Address
DE = Delivery Address
AC = Accounts Address
CO = Contact
A Store Address (ST) is also automatically applied to Delivery (DE) and/or Accounts(AC), if either of those are missing on the customer record.
For "Brad's Shop" in the example above, I am not creating DE and AC addresses, therefore ST will be used as Store, Delivery and Accounts address.
For "Marco's Shop" in the example above, I am not creating an AC address, therefore ST will be used as Store and Accounts address.
DEFAULT (Y/N)
Y - if you want the entry to be the default one for its type.
N - if you want the entry to be a secondary one for its type.
For "Alex's Shop" in the example above, I am creating two DE addresses, one to be my default address, and the other one to be my secondary address.
