# Create a customer




## You can create a customer in the LotusPay dashboard. After creating the customer, you can then create a source (mandate request) for that customer.



If you want to manually enter a customer's contact details, you can do so in the dashboard.

This feature is limited to Pro Plan merchants that have access to physical mandate variant.

Note: [Creating a source](https://juspay.io/in/docs/lotuspay/web/dashboard-flow/create-a-source) from the Sources page automatically creates a customer and a bank account, so you need not directly create a customer. Directly creating a customer is relevant if you want to use LotusPay to manage your customers' contact details.

1. Select **Customers**  from your dashboard menu.

2. Click the **Create customer**  button.

3. Enter the required details.

4. Click **Create**  to save the customer.

You can then proceed to create a source for this customer.
