Manage Customers & Addresses

General

Learn how to get, update and delete customer and their addresses.

Admin API

Get customer

SCAYLE allows you to retrieve a customer by its reference key or ID.

This method can be used to get an existing customer.

This method allows including nested resources using the with parameter.

This endpoint is not bound to a specific shop country; however, it still requires the shop country details, identified by the shopKey and countryCode, without filtering by the shop country.

let response = await adminApi.apis.Customers.getCustomer({shopKey: shopKey, countryCode: countryCode, customerIdentifier: customerIdentifier});
let customer = response.body;

Update a reference key of a customer

Use this method to assign a reference key to a customer or update existing reference key.

This method can be used to create or update a customer reference key. The existing reference key will be updated in case if a customer was already assigned a reference key.

let response = await adminApi.apis.Customers.updateCustomerReferenceKey({shopKey: shopKey, countryCode: countryCode, customerId: customerId}, {requestBody: customerReferenceKey});
let customer = response.body;

Parameters

Param Name	Type	Required
referenceKey	string	true

Update Customer Reference Key

let customerReferenceKey = {
    referenceKey: "my-key"
};

let response = await adminApi.apis.Customers.updateCustomerReferenceKey({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DE', customerId: 1}, {requestBody: customerReferenceKey});
let customer = response.body;

console.log(customer.referenceKey);

Set Customer Password

This method can be used only if customer's password is known.

Method Signature

await adminApi.apis.Customers.setCustomerPassword(
    {
        shopKey: shopKey,
        countryCode: countryCode,
        customerIdentifier: customerIdentifier
    },
    {
        requestBody: customerPassword
    }
);

Examples

const password = {
  password: 'yourPassword',
  hashingType: 'internal', // internal, external, salesforce
}

// Set password by customer reference key
client.apis.Customers.setCustomerPassword({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DE', customerIdentifier: "key=my-key"}, {requestBody: password});

// Set password by customer id
client.apis.Customers.setCustomerPassword({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DE', customerIdentifier: 1}, {requestBody: password});

Set Customer Password Hash

This method can be used for migrating passwords, since usually passwords are stored as hash only.

When setting the hashingType to external, any (empty) password can be submitted. In this case the external service is used and hashing is done on the client side.

Method Signature

await adminApi.apis.Customers.setCustomerPasswordHash(
    {
        shopKey: shopKey,
        countryCode: countryCode,
        customerIdentifier: customerIdentifier
    },
    {
        requestBody: customerPasswordHash
    }
);

Examples

const passwordHash = {
  hash: 'passwordHash',
  hashingType: 'internal', // internal, external, salesforce
}

// Set password hash by customer reference key
client.apis.Customers.setCustomerPasswordHash({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DE', customerIdentifier: "key=my-key"}, {requestBody: passwordHash});

// Set password hash by customer id
client.apis.Customers.setCustomerPasswordHash({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DE', customerIdentifier: 1}, {requestBody: passwordHash});

You can also request several customers. We suggest to fine-tune your search, e.g., by combing filter logics and using pagination. As search results are paginated, you can set the amount of customers displayed per page.

This method can be used to get a collection of customers for any given shop and country. It is possible to refine the search by applying filter options.

This method might be disabled by default. Please approach the respective account manager for activation.

This endpoint is not bound to a specific shop country; however, it still requires the shop country details, identified by the shopKey and countryCode, without filtering by the shop country.

let response = await adminApi.apis.Customers.getCustomers({shopKey: shopKey, countryCode: countryCode});
let customers = response.body.entities;

Examples

let response = await adminApi.apis.Customers.getCustomers({shopKey: 'ms', countryCode: 'DEU'});
let customers = response.body.entities;

customers.forEach(
    customer => console.log(customer.id)
);
