The Customers page shows a spreadsheet of customers loaded from your store.

Edit a single cell

  1. Click a cell and type or choose a new value.

  2. Continue editing other cells as needed.

  3. When you are ready, use the Shopify save bar to Save.

  4. To cancel all unsaved changes, click Discard.

    ⚠️ Be aware that changes are permanent if you save!

Fields you can edit

  • General: first name, last name, email, phone, tags, note, locale, tax exempt

  • Marketing: email, SMS, and WhatsApp marketing consent

  • Default address: company, address lines, city, province/country codes, zip, phone

  • Metafields: customer metafields defined in your store (and metafields already present on loaded customers)

Read-only fields

Some columns are display-only, such as total spent, order count, and created date.

Locale

The Locale column is a dropdown with all locales Shopify supports (for example Dutch (nl) or English (en)).

Tips

  • Only changed fields are sent to Shopify when you save.

  • Marketing consent updates follow Shopify’s rules (for example, subscribed states need a valid opt-in level).

  • If a save fails for a customer, the error message from Shopify is shown so you can fix the data.
