This method adds a customer to your stored customer database so that their information can be recalled at a later date.
The customer will be assigned a unique customer number by the gateway (CustNum), which you can then use to establish recurring billing cycles, recall customer data, and manually charge the customer for later products or services without needing to reenter their information.
