When a customer is no longer active, you can choose between archiving (safe, reversible) and permanently deleting (irreversible). Archiving is the recommended option.
Archiving a customer
- Look up the customer in the overview or via the search function.
- Click the menu icon (three dots) next to the customer and choose Archive.
- Confirm the action in the confirmation dialog.
- The customer disappears from the active list but remains visible when you set the filter to Archived.
Permanently deleting a customer
- Open the customer's detail page.
- Click Delete customer (red button) at the bottom.
- For confirmation, type the customer's email address into the confirmation field.
- Click Delete permanently. This action cannot be undone.
Linked orders and invoices are also removed when a customer is permanently deleted. Archiving preserves all historical data and is therefore the preferred option.
