Customer Overview
EquipDash automatically builds a customer database as people book with your business. Every customer who makes a booking — whether through the booking widget, the Point of Sale, or the API — gets a profile in your customer list. You can also add customers manually or import them in bulk.
What the Customer Section Does
The Customers section gives you a single place to:
- View all your customers in a searchable, sortable table.
- See customer details including contact information, booking history, and total spend.
- Add notes to customer profiles for internal reference.
- Import customers from a CSV file to get your existing database into EquipDash.
- Export customer data as a CSV for use in other tools.
- Track custom fields to capture the specific details that matter to your business (Growth+ plan).
The Customer Table
Navigate to Customers in the sidebar to see your full customer list.
The table shows:
- Customer ID — The unique ID for each customer.
- First name — The customer's first name.
- Last name — The customer's last name.
- Email — Their email address.
- Customer since — When they were first added or first booked.
- Last booking — The date of their most recent booking.
- Actions — Edit (pencil icon) or delete (trash icon).
Searching and Sorting
- Use the Search customers field in the top-right to find customers by name or email.
- Click column headers to sort the table.
Customer Profiles
Click on any row in the table to open that customer's detail page. Each profile contains:
- Contact information — Name, email, phone number, address, and when they became a customer.
- Customer statistics — Total bookings, total spent, average value, first and last booking dates, and a breakdown by booking type (rentals, experiences, store).
- Notes — Internal notes added by your team.
- Waivers & Forms — Any completed waivers or forms.
- Survey responses — Any survey responses.
- Booking history — A full table of all their bookings.
- Custom fields — Additional data fields you have configured (Growth+ plan).

How Customers Are Created
Customers are added to your database in several ways:
| Method | When It Happens |
|---|---|
| Booking Widget | A customer completes a booking through your online widget |
| Point of Sale | Your staff creates a booking and enters customer details |
| API | A booking is created through the API with customer data |
| Manual | You add a customer directly from the Customers page |
| CSV Import | You upload a CSV file with customer data |
When a customer books online, EquipDash checks if a customer with the same email already exists for your business. If so, the booking is linked to the existing profile rather than creating a duplicate.
