How Customers Enter This Grid
Customers appear in this grid when:
-
Invoice is synced:
- Customer is automatically created/linked when their invoice syncs
-
Customer places an order:
- Depending on configuration, customers may be pre-synced
-
Manual sync:
- Push customer from Customers → All Customers grid
Requirements:
- Module must be enabled
- Customer must have valid email address
- For B2B: VAT number recommended
Customer Code
The Customer Code column shows the SnelStart reference:
- Empty: Customer not yet synced to SnelStart
- Code shown: Customer exists in SnelStart with this code
This code links the Magento customer to their SnelStart debtor record.

Common Workflows
Find Unsynced Customers
- Open the Customers grid
- Look for empty Customer Code column
- These customers haven't been pushed to SnelStart yet
Update Customer in SnelStart
If customer details changed:
- Find the customer in the grid
- Click Actions → Push to SnelStart
- This updates the existing SnelStart record
Check Customer Sync Status
- Note the customer's email or name
- Go to Synchronisation Logs → Customer
- Search for the customer
- Review sync history and any errors
B2B Considerations
For business customers:
- Company name is used as the debtor name in SnelStart
- VAT number is synced for EU VAT validation
- Ensure company and VAT fields are populated for proper B2B invoicing
Customer Sync Logic
SnelStart uses specific logic to match customers:
- Customer mode: One debtor per customer_id + country + VAT number
- Address mode: One debtor per billing address
This means a customer may have multiple debtors if they:
- Change their country
- Add or change their VAT number
This is intentional for correct VAT/tax reporting purposes.
