Contact is an entity you frequently interact with as a part of your business. You may have multiple communications and transactions with each of your contacts. The Eshopbox App allows you to create such contacts and track all their interactions with your business.

In the Eshopbox App, there are five possible types you can assign to a contact:

  1. Courier Partner: It provides you with logistics services to deliver orders to your customers.

  2. Payment Service Provider: It helps you to safely process and collect electronic payments for your orders.

  3. Your own Warehouse: It is a physical location from where you will send inventory to Eshopbox fulfillment centers.

  4. Seller Account on a portal: It is an account created on a portal to be registered as a seller.

  5. Premium customer: It is a customer who frequently places orders for your products.

For each type of contact, you can have to provide the following attributes:
