Customers
The Customers module in Zoho Payments is like a digital address book that streamlines customer management for your business. It offers a comprehensive overview of all your customer information, transaction history, and saved payment method.
A new customer will be created in Zoho Payments when you associate a customer’s card with Zoho Payments in the other Zoho Finance applications (such as Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice, Zoho Checkout, Zoho Inventory, or Zoho Billing).

Saved Payment Methods
View the associated payment methods and their details, along with the status of their risk assessment.
These payment methods are added when:

Insight: To add customers' card details in the integrated Zoho application, navigate to the customer’s profile, click More, and select Add New Card from the drop-down menu. You can add new cards for existing customers and update unused cards.
