About customer types

Customer types let you categorize customers in Paladin Point of Sale. You can assign these types to your customer accounts in the Customers module. Paladin Point of Sale provides a default set of customer types, and you can define your own (except for Ace Hardware stores which must use the default set.).

Many reports provide business statistics by customer type, including the Transaction Report and the Comparative Revenue Reports.  Customer types only appear in the Customers module and reports.  The default customer types are listed below the KBA table.
