Customers

In e-commerce stores, customers are one if not the fundamental point for the functioning of your store.

The first page under the "Customers" menu gives you a list of all the registered users on your shop.

Customers

During the installation of Shopper, one of the first things required is to inherit to our model User the features of the model User that is in Shopper.

#Model

The model used is App\Models\User which extends the \Shopper\Core\Models\User model.

#Components

By default, brands Livewire components are not published. To customize components, you must publish them.

php artisan shopper:component:publish customer
php artisan shopper:component:publish customer

This command will publish all Livewire components used for brand management (from pages to form components). Once you've published the component, you can find it in the customer.php locate in the config/shopper/components folder.

use Shopper\Livewire;
use Shopper\Livewire\Components;
 
return [
 
  'pages' => [
      'customer-index' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Index::class,
      'customer-create' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Create::class,
      'customer-show' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Show::class,
  ],
 
  'components' => [
      'customers.addresses' => Components\Customers\Addresses::class,
      'customers.orders' => Components\Customers\Orders::class,
      'customers.profile' => Components\Customers\Profile::class,
  ],
 
];
use Shopper\Livewire;
use Shopper\Livewire\Components;
 
return [
 
  'pages' => [
      'customer-index' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Index::class,
      'customer-create' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Create::class,
      'customer-show' => Livewire\Pages\Customers\Show::class,
  ],
 
  'components' => [
      'customers.addresses' => Components\Customers\Addresses::class,
      'customers.orders' => Components\Customers\Orders::class,
      'customers.profile' => Components\Customers\Profile::class,
  ],
 
];

#Manage Customers

When a new customer places an order with your store, their name and information are automatically added to your customer list. A customer profile is created when a customer interacts with your store.

Alternatively, you can add a customer to your store manually.

#Create customer

From your Shopper admin panel, go to Customers and click on "New customer" button.

Create customer

When creating a customer manually, you should also fill in an address that will be used when he places an order in your store.

Customer address form

Optional: If the customer has agreed to receive marketing emails, and you have entered an email address, then in the Customer overview section, check Customer agreed to receive marketing emails.

And you can also check the Send customer credentials checkbox to send an email to the customer with their login information.

Customer notifications

The Livewire component used to create a customer is Shopper\Livewire\Livewire\Pages\Customers\Create

$customer = (new UserRepository())->create([
  'last_name' => $this->last_name,
  'first_name' => $this->first_name,
  'email' => $this->email,
  'password' => Hash::make($this->password),
  'phone_number' => $this->phone_number,
  'email_verified_at' => now()->toDateTimeString(),
  'opt_in' => $this->opt_in,
]);
 
$customer->assignRole(config('shopper.system.users.default_role'));
$customer = (new UserRepository())->create([
  'last_name' => $this->last_name,
  'first_name' => $this->first_name,
  'email' => $this->email,
  'password' => Hash::make($this->password),
  'phone_number' => $this->phone_number,
  'email_verified_at' => now()->toDateTimeString(),
  'opt_in' => $this->opt_in,
]);
 
$customer->assignRole(config('shopper.system.users.default_role'));

#Customer's Information
