There are lots of things that you can do with a list of customers on your website. For one, you can send email marketing content to customers, with permission. This can increase your revenues very quickly. For every $1 that you spend on your email marketing, you will generate $38-$44 in revenue. Profile design apps can also come into play.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the success of these programs is that you have accurate records. For instance, this will include email and customer names. If you don\u2019t have these details, there are several problems. For one, the customer might not get their emails from you. Another concern is that if you have the wrong information, you might offend your customers, who would not want to buy from you again.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you might need to regularly change the customer name or email address at any time. Luckily, Shopify has a lot of great tools that allow you to do this. It can be done through the use of the app, like this one here. Or you can do it manually that takes just five minutes to complete and is really easy to do. So, here are the instructions for you to change your customer\u2019s name or address through Shopify.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Log into Shopify, then select \u2018Customers\u2019 from the main menu to access customer profiles.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Click on a customer\u2019s name, then use the \u2018Edit\u2019 button in the \u2018Contact\u2019 section to modify details.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Change names, emails, phone numbers, marketing preferences, and tax exemptions; save to update.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Step 1: Log in<\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to log in to your Shopify account.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">Step 2: Customers<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve logged in, you\u2019ll be in the main administrative area of Shopify.
