# Editing Customers

> Learn how to edit customer profiles in the Spree Commerce admin dashboard.

You may need to edit a customer’s profile to correct contact details, update addresses, manage tags, or adjust account-related settings. This is especially common when handling phone orders, B2B accounts, or customer support requests.

## How to Edit a Customer

To edit a customer, navigate to **Customers** in the admin dashboard.

Find and click the customer you’d like to update to open their **Customer Profile** page.

From here, there are several sections of the customer profile that you may edit when necessary.

## Contact Details

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/spreecommerce/ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf/images/user/customers/editing-customers/3-contact-details.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf&q=85&s=663a0c7826d87dd8d61afbdc77815e0e" alt="Customer contact details section in the Spree dashboard" width="3142" height="2058" data-path="images/user/customers/editing-customers/3-contact-details.png" />

In the **Details** section, click **Edit** to open the edit form and modify:

* Email address
* Phone number
* First and last name
* Email marketing opt-in / opt-out status
* Tags
* Customer Group (if applicable)

Click **Save** to apply your changes.

## Shipping Address

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/spreecommerce/ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf/images/user/customers/editing-customers/4-shipping-address.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf&q=85&s=6eca096b34e467a9a291b802122eb2ff" alt="Editing the customers shipping address in the Spree dashboard" width="2206" height="1324" data-path="images/user/customers/editing-customers/4-shipping-address.png" />

In the **Shipping Address** section, click **Edit** to reveal the address editor form, and update the customer’s default shipping address as required.

<Note>Updating the shipping address in the customer profile does not change the address on existing or outstanding orders. To modify an order’s shipping address, edit the order directly from the **Orders** tab.</Note>

## Billing Address

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/spreecommerce/ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf/images/user/customers/editing-customers/5-billing-address.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf&q=85&s=90554a213539a74217cd2948204a377e" alt="Editing the customer billing address in the Spree dashboard" width="864" height="346" data-path="images/user/customers/editing-customers/5-billing-address.png" />

In the **Billing Address** section, click **Edit** to modify the customer’s default billing address.

You’ll then be able to choose between:

* **Same as shipping address**, or
* **Add a new address**

Selecting **Add a new address** will reveal the address form, where you can enter the updated billing details. Click **Update** to apply your changes.

<Note>As with shipping addresses, updating the billing address here will not affect existing orders.</Note>

## Internal Notes

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/spreecommerce/ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf/images/user/customers/editing-customers/6-internal-note.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ys74Zbz9khIsdxnf&q=85&s=5716904aef2bf085d757bcf5399654cc" alt="Adding an internal note to a customer profile in Spree Commerce" width="1516" height="920" data-path="images/user/customers/editing-customers/6-internal-note.png" />

The **Internal Note** section allows admins to leave private notes about a customer (for example, special handling instructions, account context, or support history).

To add or update an internal note:

1. Click **Edit** in the Internal Note section
2. Enter your note
3. Click **Save**

<Note>Internal notes are only visible to admins and are never shown on the storefront.</Note>
