What will happen to the customer details I previously imported?

Your previous customer records are set up as Business, added under Point of contact. Usually, each customer should have only one email address. However, for your existing contacts, we’ll leave any duplicate email addresses as they are.

If you have used Xero to import your customers, you'll (once again) find them set up as Business. Their emails could stay blank, as this is optional in Xero.
