Import customers to Square for Franchises
About importing customers
Square for Franchise’s Franchise Directory is a comprehensive contact management tool that allows you to store and edit customer information, and track their interactions with your business. While you can add customers to the directory during sales, you can also manually import customers in bulk.
Before you begin
You need access to your Square for Franchises dashboard and your Square Dashboard to import customers to your franchise account.
Customers must be imported with a spreadsheet. If you have an existing Customer Directory in your Square account you want to import, you can export your Customer Directory and import it to your Franchise Directory.
