FAQ

How to associate or disassociate a custom-field with a specific customer?

In this case, the endpoint PUT customers/{customer_id}/custom-fields/values (link with documentation) should be used, which overwrites the custom-fields associated with that customer.

If you would like to create new custom-field associations, the following body should be sent:

[
    {
        "id": "f6b3ca8c-2271-4895-b417-14350e6755a7",
        "value": "Wholesale + Retail"
    },
    {
        "id": "95e8febc-9460-439e-bfbe-d051aaf9e71f",
        "value": "1990-01-01"
    }
]

If you would like to remove a single custom-field association, the following body should be sent:

[
    {
        "id": "f6b3ca8c-2271-4895-b417-14350e6755a7",
        "value": null
    }
]

On the other hand, if a custom-field have two associations and you would like to remove all of them, the following body should be sent:

[
    {
        "id": "f6b3ca8c-2271-4895-b417-14350e6755a7",
        "value": null
    },
    {
        "id": "95e8febc-9460-439e-bfbe-d051aaf9e71f",
        "value": null
    }
]

Important: the custom-field must already be created for the entity.

It's possible to delete all custom-fields with the DELETE endpoint?

Only those created by own App. Custom-fields created by another App or by the merchant can't be deleted.
