# Customer Sync Settings

## Setting Up Customer Sync Preferences

### Customer Search Field

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

### How should customer data fields be mapped?

Customize the data transfer from Shopify to Xero to ensure accurate synchronization when a new customer is being created in Xero from Shopify. Some fields are mapped by default.

Click "**Create new Shopify field"** if you want to add any new mapping fields to the window.
