Managing customers effectively is crucial for building lasting relationships with your business. HitPay POS provides comprehensive customer management features that allow you to add, view, search, edit, and manage customer information seamlessly. Customer data is automatically captured during checkout when customers provide their email addresses, making it easy to build and maintain your customer database.
