[Customers](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers.md) may want to change the information you store about them. For example, they may want you to change their addresses. Alternatively, if your customer is a company, they may want to change their contact person's name.

> **Info:** If you need to modify a customer's details in an existing order, you need to change the order's attributes. Learn more in [Orders](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/orders.md).

With the following process, you can change the customer's:

- First and last name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Company name
- Company organization ID
- Company tax organization ID
- Billing and shipping addresses
- Orders

You can also [create a user account](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers/registering-customers-manually.md) for customers. With a [user account](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/user-management.md), customers can sign in on your website and buy products on their own the next time.

If the customer is already registered or you create the user account, you can also change the customer's:

- Password (or generate a new one)
- [Roles](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers/assigning-roles-to-customers.md)
- [Memberships](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers/assigning-memberships-to-customers-manually.md)
- [Credit balance](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/customers/managing-customer-credit.md)

To change customer's details:

1. Open the **Customers** application.
2. **Edit** () the desired customer.

   > **Tip:** You can edit a customer by clicking the **Edit** icon (). Choose the **Edit** icon that is on the same line as the name of the customer whose attributes you want to change.

3. Customers' attributes are topically divided into tabs. Switch to the desired tab.
