How to add existing customers?

[LANSRAD]

I am setting up eStore to handle digital downloads for a new website.

While I think it will work fine for new orders, I have a lot of existing customers that I want to add to the system so that they would be able to download products they have already purchased from the new site.

How would I go about adding the existing customers, and then the products they already have purchased so that everyone is on the same system?

Thanks!

If the number of customers is not too large, you can manually enter any sale information by going to the “Add/Edit Customers” menu.

The number of customers and average number of products per customer would make that very unwieldy and very error prone.

I was hoping for an import function that could take data in some format or at worst case a way to do it via the WordPress REST API.

I forgot to mention that I think this would be a great enhancement for your plugin.

There are a lot of people out there who already have some sort of system that they have been using to sell digital products (usually desktop based).

Being able to import data from them (and it is fine for you to specify the format and fields you need) so that they can smoothly transition to a web based eStore is a big consideration.

In our case if we can not do that, then we would have to just not use the portion of your plugin that manages the downloads- which pretty much eliminates the reason we want to use it.

We could take the ToolSet Types plugins and create the functionality that we need (including the payment processing and e-mailing, but we would much rather be able to use your plugin for the job.
