# Customer Sync Settings

## Setting Up Customer Sync Preferences

### Customer Search Field

Define how customer data is synchronised between Shopify and Tripletex. Choose a unique field, like **email** or **VAT number**, to prevent duplicates. A new customer is created in Tripletex only when the customer is not found using the defined search parameter.

### Customer Default Mappings

Set default values for **Currency**, **Branding theme**, **Invoice due date**, **Sales account**, and **Sales default amounts**. These default values apply when new customers are created in Tripletex.

### How Should Customer Data Fields Be Mapped?

Customise the data transfer from Shopify to Tripletex to ensure accurate synchronisation when a new customer is being created. Some fields are mapped by default.

Click **"Create new Shopify field"** to add any additional mapping fields as needed.

<Tip>
  Map all relevant customer fields before going live to avoid incomplete customer records being created in Tripletex.
