In this article you'll learn how to input your customer's details into your dashboard yourself, having collected them via paper mandate or over the phone using an approved transcript.
If you are interested in using one or both of these methods but haven't yet had this feature enabled on your account, please see here for information on how to get this set up.
Inputting customer details into your dashboard is actioned in three stages:

2. Click the green Add customers button
3. Select Manual from the options in the top of the window
