customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->setWebsiteId(websiteId)->load($customerId); $data = array('value_change' => addCreditValue, 'website_id' => websiteId, 'comment' => comment); Mage::getModel('mageworx_customercredit/credit')->setData(data)->setCustomer(data)->setCustomer(data)->setCustomer(data)->setCustomer(customer)->save(); ```
