# Customer catalog
The **Customer Catalog** feature allows merchants to add and edit customer information, making it easily reusable while creating Pay By Links. This saves a lot of time and effort while creating the payment link.
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is available only on request. If you are interested in using the *Customer Catalog*, contact your Verifone representative.
{% endhint %}
## Availability
To check which roles can add / edit / remove a customer or see the customer catalog list check our [Users and merchants roles](/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/administration-tools/users-and-merchants-roles.md) documentation.
## Add new customer
To be able to reuse the customer information while creating a Pay by Link, follow the below steps to create the customer and store it in Verifone Central.
1. Go to **Commerce** > *Payment tools* > **Customer Catalog**.
2. Click on **Add new customer**.
3. Fill in the mandatory fields in the *General Information* page, to proceed in creating the customer and click on **Continue**.
* **First Name**: enter the customer’s first name.
* **Last Name**: enter the customer’s last name.
* **Organization**: select the organization where the customer will be created.
* **Email**: enter the customer’s email address.
4. Complete the *Billing/Shipping Address* page and select **Continue**.
If the shipping address is the same as the billing address, you can leave the toggle button Same as Billing Address enabled.
5. Review the details entered and click on **Save & Close**.
6. The newly created customer will be displayed in the customer catalog list, when searching for it and after applying the relevant filters.
### Edit an existing customer
You can edit the details for an already added customer, by following the below steps.
{% hint style="info" %}
The *Organization* and *Email* fields cannot be edited, and the customer needs to be created again under the new/updated organization or with the new/updated email address.\
For any organization the email address needs to be unique.
{% endhint %}
From the *Customer Catalog* list, select the customer for which the details need to be updated. Once the information is updated click on **Save & Close**. You can search for the customers using the email address or phone number.
You can switch between the *Details* and *Billing/Shipping* tabs, to update the required information.
## Add customer details in Pay by Link
In the *Create payment link* page, when [creating the payment link](/online-payments/pay-by-link/create-a-payment-link.md), select the **Add customer address** details to expand the customer details fields.
Search for the customer, by email or phone number and the details will prepopulate in their respective fields.
