Fields
The create new customer form’s fields are self explanatory but below is the important fields that need your attention.

Below is the acceptable valid phone number format:
- +6012-3456789

- 60123456789
Note 1: fee will be charged for every SMS sent by fee Plus

- A new invoice is issued, customer will receive email for each services purchased.
- A payment is made, customer will receive the paid invoice.
- Customer is added into a schedule by Admin, she will receive an email with the schedule file.
- A new appointment is made, customer will receive an email with the appointment schedule file.
