# Change Customer Status

> Change a customer's status from non-paying to paying in the Mention Me platform.

You will need to do this when your customers must be labelled as an existing customer to share a referral with their friends. In some cases, it is also required to reward a referral that has already taken place.

  <Step title="Identify their campaign">
    Inside the account, identify the campaign they've enrolled in from their activity timeline or the Sharing section. Ensure the campaign you select matches the details on the customer profile.
