Hi Landis,

Actually you can't.

The module is flagged as experimental because it *really* is.
How it works: edit a customer, go to the 'Connector' tab, add a line in
'Magento bindings', save. That's all, a job is generated to create the
customer on Magento. This is the part that works well. But the mappings
are incomplete: they will only create the account with email, first name
and last name very naively guessed from the name, no password and no
addresses.

Now, if you create a partner in OpenERP and then a customer is imported
from Magento and it has the same email, they will be considered as same
and imported on the OpenERP partner.

Best,
