# Profile

> The merchant dashboard Settings > Profile page — view and maintain your personal information: avatar, name, preferred name, phone, date of birth, and address, plus changing your login email and retaking the product tour.

## What this is

This is the **Profile** page under **Settings > Profile** in the merchant dashboard (page title "Profile", subtitle "Manage your personal information and account preferences"). Here you view and maintain your own personal information: at the top, your avatar, name, login email (with a verification badge), and last login record; below that, two editable sections, **Personal details** and **Address**; plus you can change your login email and retake the product tour. Come here to change your name, phone number, date of birth, or home address, or to change your login email.

## Steps

Open the page: left nav **Settings** -> **Profile**.

Edit personal details (first name / last name / preferred name / phone number / date of birth):

1. Click **Edit** on the right of the **Personal details** section.
2. Update the fields you need.
3. Click **Save** to submit (shows "Saving" while in progress), or **Cancel** to discard the change. A successful save shows "Profile updated".

Edit address (country of residence / home address / city / state-province / postcode):

1. Click **Edit** on the right of the **Address** section.
2. Update the fields you need.
3. Click **Save** to submit, or **Cancel** to discard.

Change your login email:

1. Click **Update** next to the email at the top to open the **Change login email** dialog.
2. Fill in the **New email** field with the new address and click **Confirm**.
3. The system sends a confirmation email to the new address and shows "Please check your email" — click the verification link in that email to complete the change; **the link is valid for 1 hour**.
4. After clicking **Confirm**, you're signed out of the current session and need to sign in again with the new email.

Retake the product tour: click **Take the product tour again** on the card at the bottom of the page — it replays the 6-step product tour from the Overview page shown at login.

## Edge cases and troubleshooting

* **Can't save personal details**: First name and Last name are required — leaving them blank blocks the save; Preferred name, Phone number, and Date of birth can be left blank.
* **Can't pick recent years for date of birth**: the date picker only allows dates that make you 18 or older (you can go back to 1920) — the most recent 18 years are unselectable.
* **Signed out after changing email**: changing your login email requires verifying via the link in the new inbox; once confirmed, the system signs you out — sign back in with the new email.
* **Verification link expired**: the email confirmation link is only valid for 1 hour; after that, start the change again.
* **No green checkmark next to the email**: means the email isn't verified yet; a green checkmark indicates it is verified.
* **Save / change email fails with an error**: follow the error message shown and retry later; contact support if it persists.
* **Avatar shows initials**: you haven't uploaded an avatar yet, so the system generates a placeholder from your initials.
