Modify customer
If there is any change in a customer's data, such as address, card or account email, it is possible to make this change through the Customer API or our SDKs.
In the table below we describe all the attributes that can be modified. To make the change, send a PUT with the customer_id and the attributes you want to modify to the endpoint /v1/customers/{id} and execute the request or, if you prefer, use one of the SDKs below.
Important
If you don't have the
customer_id, follow the steps described in the section
Search customers
to get the information. Also, the email field can only be modified if the customer does not already have an associated email.| Attribute | Description |
address | Address |
default_address | Default address |
default_card | Default card |
description | Description |
emai | Account Email |
first_name | Name |
last_name | Last name |
phone | Registered phone |
identification | Document type and number |
