Customers

The customer object and the allowed CRUD operations on the related resource endpoint

Customers must contain an email address and, optionally, a password. Registered customers can get an access token through the password flow to manage their data.

For each newly created customer a shopper_reference is automatically generated. It is sent to the payment gateways and identifies the shopper during the payment sessions. As long as you stay within the number of characters allowed (min 3, max 128) it can be updated at your leisure in case you need a specific format — e.g. platform mirgration.

Customer status can be one of:

• prospect — with no orders

• acquired — with one order

• repeat — with two or more orders

Customers can be associated with groups to get access to the related private markets.
