How to Update a Customer

Edit customer details or deactivate a customer you no longer trade with.

What this does

Lets you update a customer's name, email address, phone number, or billing address. You can also deactivate a customer so they no longer appear in dropdown lists when creating invoices and quotes.

When to use it

Use this whenever a customer changes their details, or when you want to remove an old customer from your active lists without deleting their transaction history.

Step by step

  1. Go to Customers in the Sales menu
  2. Find the customer you want to edit and click their name to open the detail page
  3. Click Edit
  4. Update the fields you need to change (name, email, phone, or address)
  5. Click Save
  6. To deactivate a customer instead, open their detail page and click Deactivate
  7. Confirm when prompted — the customer will be hidden from new invoices and quotes but all existing records are preserved
  8. To reactivate a deactivated customer, filter by inactive customers, open the record, and click Activate
