About editing, merging, or deleting customer profiles

This feature allows you to update or modify information about a customer stored in your Customer Directory, combine duplicate or multiple customer records that belong to the same individual into a single profile, or permanently delete a customer's record from your Customer Directory.

Duplicate records may incorrectly increase the total number of customers in your directory, and lead to increased pricing for Square Marketing subscriptions. We recommend you review your directory periodically to ensure no duplicates exist.

Before you begin

You can edit, merge, or delete customer profiles in Square Dashboard and Square POS app.

Merging two customer profiles also merges any files attached to them.

If you or an employee accidentally deleted a customer profile within the last 30 days, please contact Square customer support to undo this action.
