Managing Customer Information in osCommerce

Customers that register into the osCommerce system may sometimes need to have their data modified by an admin in the osCommerce dashboard. This feature of osCommerce is different from managing Customer Details in that you are modifying the actual customer information as opposed to the form fields. The following article explains how to find and make changes to the stored customer information using the osCommerce interface.

Editing Customers in osCommerce

  1. Log into your osCommerce Admin dashboard.
  2. List of registered customer

    When you are logged into the Administrator, look in the menu on the left. Click on Customers and the menu will expand. Then click on Customers (again) in the menu option that appears. You will see the registered customer list. Note: If you don’t have one, create a test user by logging into your osCommerce store and creating a test user.
