Overview:


For many Zen Cart users, the Best Customers report (Admin > Reports > Customer Orders-Total) gives sufficient data, especially when my Lifetime Customer Value modification is added. However, it does not handle the following situations:
  • Transactions which occur outside of the store (direct bank transfers and sales prior to the store being set up).
  • Business Accounts which have multiple payers: if john@bigcorp.com and judy@bigcorp.com both make payments, it's not immediately clear what the total value of the BigCorp account is.

360 Sales Reporting addresses both of these needs in the following way:
  • Customer records are amended with a new field to identify a master customer id. In this way, customers can be grouped.
  • Two tables are provided to handle both direct deposits by customers and customer transactions which occur outside the store.
