Creating and Managing Booking Customers

Would you like to keep track of customers for your events and bookings? Sugar Calendar’s customer management system helps you organize customer information, track their booking history, and maintain detailed records for future reservation.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to create and manage customers in the Bookings plugin.


Accessing the Customer Management Area

To access your customer management area, navigate to your Sugar Calendar Bookings interface and click on the Bookings » Customers section in the sidebar menu.

Sugar Calendar Customers management page

This page displays all your customers in a table format, showing their names, assigned tags, email addresses, phone numbers, and any notes you’ve added about them.

When users book an appointment on your site, their details will be added to the customer list as well. However, you can manually create customer s from the admin dashboard.

Creating a New Customer

To add a new customer to your system, click the Add New button at the top of the Customers page.
