As a part of a website project we can perform a once off upload of customer accounts. This is achieved via a Buyer File, although some additional files may also need to be provided depending on your customer records. You should populate this file with all the accounts that you want to login to the website upon launching it.
Project Customers: Please extract the customers from your accounting system and add the data to the buyer file format. Once complete please return the buyer file to us for review.
