Listed / Named customers

[LadyLessien]

Hello all,

I am currently working on texts which appear in a computer program. I would like to hear your opinion on the following two options I have:

The loyalty program is valid for listed customers only.

The loyalty program is valid for named customers only.

The following sentences appear also with the words such as price groups, eshops, etc. - (the loyalty program is valid for named / listed eshops only).

You as a user always have a group of customers/eshops etc. from which you can choose the valid ones.

Which one sounds more natural?

Thank you!

I am not entirely sure I understand how you are using the named/listed customers sentence, but in general terms you can use either. Presumably somewhere there is a list of names.

However, it seems an odd thing to write. Where is the list of names; who has access to it? Usually with loyalty programs you have to enrol or register, or something similar, in which case the adjective would be "enrolled" or "registered", not "listed" or "named".

This is a sentence that will be a part of a "button" let's say. The user who will use it in this case is the administrator of this software with the possibility to select from a group of customers he wishes to grant the loyalty program.

'Listed customers' would lead me to expect to see a list right here: 'listed' would mean present in this list. And all customers have names[citation needed], so that's ambiguous.

Which would sound better with the case of eshops or shipment methods for example?

The loyalty program is valid for named / listed methods of shipment - which would sound better here?
