Editing a customer's information

Keep a customer's contact details current so your WhatsApp, SMS and email messages always land — update any saved buyer in a few clicks.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile

Contact details drift — buyers switch numbers, move house, change the email they actually read. Keeping a customer's record current is what makes the difference between a campaign that lands and one that bounces, so it's worth editing a profile the moment you learn something new.

What you can change

Editing a customer reopens the same form you used to add them, with every field filled in: name, phone, WhatsApp number, email, Instagram handle, shipping address, notes, customer group and marketing consent. Change any of them and save.

Tip: If a customer asks to stop receiving messages, open their profile, click Edit, and untick Email or SMS / WhatsApp marketing under Marketing consent. Honouring opt-outs keeps your messages out of spam folders.

Notes and tags stay put

Editing only touches the details on the form. A customer's order history, notes, tags and store credit are unaffected — they live on the profile and carry straight through your edit.
