During the time of managing your store, some customers will come, some will go. Your customer list of tomorrow might not be the same as itself today. Therefore, you would need to deactivate some of your customers. Disabling a customer’s account is a useful technique to manage your customer list on Shopify.

How to disable a customer’s account

Step 1: Go to Customers

Before continuing through all these steps, keep it in mind that in order to perform this technique, your customer needs to activate an account on Shopify first. After logging in and accessing Shopify admin interface, take a look at the menu list on the left side of the screen. At there, you will have to click Customers.
