Adding a Second Property for a Customer
When a customer has more than one property, each property is set up as its own separate customer record. There is no link or dependency between the two records — they are managed, billed, and reported on independently.
Steps
-
Go to Customers and tap Add Customer.
-
Enter the customer name. The name must be unique — it cannot match the existing customer name exactly, as this will cause a conflict when syncing to QuickBooks/Zoho/PennyLane. Use a naming convention that clearly identifies each property, for example:
- Smith, John - 123 Main St
- Smith, John - 456 Oak Ave
-
Complete all property details (address, gate code, alarm info, visit frequency, rates, etc.) as you normally would for any new customer.
-
Save the customer.
Important Notes
- The second property is a completely independent customer record. It has its own visit schedule, billing, rates, reports, and invoices. Changes to one property do not affect the other.
- Each property will sync to accounting as its own separate customer, which is why the name must be unique.
- If desired, you can organize the two customers under a parent/sub-customer hierarchy in QuickBooks after they sync. This is purely a QuickBooks organizational feature and does not affect how the properties are managed in the system.
