title: "Managing Customers"
description: "Learn how to view and manage customer information in Autumn"
---
The customer details page provides a comprehensive view of a customer's information, subscriptions, and usage. You can access this by clicking on any customer from the [Customers page](https://app.useautumn.com/customers).
The customer details page shows:
- **Products**: View active subscriptions, status, billing dates, and feature limits
- **Features**: Track usage, limits, reset dates and history graphs
- **Invoices**: See billing history, payment status, amounts and hosted invoice pages
- **Events**: View feature usage events that have been tracked for the customer
## Editing Feature Balances
You can directly edit a customer's feature balances via the dashboard, to give them additional allowance or alter how much they'll be charged for their next invoice (typically in case of errors).
1. Navigate to the Customer details page
2. Under "Available Features", click on the feature you want to edit the balance for.
3. In the popup, enter the new balance value:
- If you're giving them more allowance (`granted`) of a feature, enter a **positive** number
- If you're changing how much usage they'll be charged for, enter a **negative** number
4. Optionally, set a new usage reset date for the feature
5. Click "Update"
<Note>
Editing a balance will only last until the next reset date of the feature. If
you want to permanently set a new allowance, you should create a custom
product with the new allowance.
</Note>
<Tip>
If you want to give a customer access to a feature that isn't present in the
product they're on, you can create a custom product with the new feature.
</Tip>
## Adding a Coupon
To apply a discount to a customer:
1. Go to the customer's details page
2. Under the "Rewards" section of the sidebar, click "Add Coupon"
3. Select a reward from the available options
4. Click "Add Reward"
The discount will show up when a Checkout URL is generated for the customer via `attach`, or from their next invoice.
## Updating Customer Properties
You can update a customer's basic information through either the dashboard or API:
#### Via Dashboard
1. Navigate to the customer's details page
2. On the right-hand side, you'll see a "Details" section in the sidebar. Click on any of the fields.
3. Update the desired fields (name, email, etc.)
4. Click "Update"
#### Via API
You can also update a customer's properties via the API, useful for when a customer changes their details in your application.
