# Buyers

> Tie payment methods, personal information, and addresses to a customer record.

A **buyer** represents your customer, the shopper who is
performing a checkout and making a purchase.

## Features

A buyer can be used to perform the following tasks.

* Display a human-readable name (`display_name`) for a buyer in the admin
  panel when browsing transactions.
* Associate multiple stored payment methods (cards, PayPal, etc) with a single
  customer.
* Initialize [Embed](/guides/payments/embed/quick-start/overview) with the buyer ID to automatically
  display the buyer's previously stored payment methods, allowing for faster
  checkout.
