Customers

A Customer is a person purchasing Products. Carts, Orders, Quotes, Reviews, and Payments can also be associated to a Customer.

Customers represent data about a specific customer in your Project. In addition to the relationship to other Composable Commerce resources, such as Carts and Orders, the Customer object contains information about their name, email address, any addresses associated with them, and more.

By default, Customers are unique across a Project. However, if your Project is structured with Stores, you can create and manage Customers on a Store level. Store-specific Customers are unique in a specific Store and only have access to resources inside that Store. Use the Customer in Store endpoints to manage Store-specific Customers.

A maximum of 10 000 000 Customers can be created per Project. Learn more about this limit here.

Learn more about managing Customers in our self-paced Customer management module.
