In this article, you can find the steps to view and edit your customer information and order preferences on Choco web as a vendor.

Keeping this information up-to-date is one of the best practices to manage relationships with your clients, cut costs and avoid ordering mistakes.

How to view customer information

You can view your customers’ information by accessing the Customers tab in the side menu.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select Customers from the side menu

    • Here you can view their name, customer number and label

  2. Select View from the customer’s tab to see the order details

    • Here you can view the full information about the customer including their name, address, customer number, catalogues settings, cutoff times and delivery days

Explanation of customer information fields

Customer name

The name of your customer.

The unique code associated with your customer.

Including this helps reduce ordering mistakes.


It is also an important piece of information for vendors using Choco with an integration to their ERP system.

The list of your products that is visible to your customer.

Cutoff time and type

After Strict cutoff times, customers cannot choose next day delivery.

After Flexible cutoff times, customers can still choose next day delivery with a warning.

Delivery days

The days that you deliver to customers.

Customers can only request these days when submitting orders.

How to edit the customer number

How to edit catalogues settings for a specific customer

Editing the catalogue settings for a specific customer is possible only when you already have a main catalogue and an additional catalogue.

Choco allows you to create a narrower version of your main catalogue containing only the products that you want to display to a specific single or group of customers. This way, you have the option to offer exclusive products or display only the products that are relevant to your customers.

What to know when using an ERP integration

Using an ERP integration with Choco enables you to sync information about orders and deliveries across platforms and avoid manual information entry.

To ensure optimal order transmission, we recommend:

  • Adding the customer number to Choco and making sure that it matches the one in your ERP system

  • Adding the product ID to products in your catalogue on Choco and making sure that it matches the one in your ERP system

  • Editing customer information or product information directly in their ERP system

  • Editing delivery preferences such as delivery days and cutoff times on Choco. This information may or may not be synced depending on the type of ERP system or your setup preferences in it
