Customers

Hi there! Welcome to Dex, Forte's latest and greatest payments application. With Dex, you can view, create, and manage all your transaction data—including customers, payment methods, addresses, and schedules—in one convenient place. You can also view and maintain your merchant account, keep track of your funding entries, resolve disputed transactions, and generate API credentials to connect Dex with your third-party applications.

Adding a Customer

Dex enables merchants with the appropriate permissions to manually add contact, billing address, and shipping address information for their customers. When adding a customer, Dex automatically generates a unique string token that can be used in other Forte applications (e.g., REST API and Forte Checkout) for creating schedules or just for simplifying transactions.

  1. Access the Customers Screen by clicking Customers in the Dex main menu.
