Required scope: customers:write Rate limit: 60 requests/minute Idempotency: supported – pass Idempotency-Key to safely retry. See Idempotency. Only first_name and last_name are updatable through this endpoint. Email changes are not currently supported via the Developer API – change them through the in-app dashboard, which handles the de-duplication and audit flow.

Request body

FieldTypeRequiredNotes
first_namestringnoUp to 255 characters; omit to leave unchanged
last_namestringnoUp to 255 characters; omit to leave unchanged
A field set to null is treated the same as omitting it – fields are only written when explicitly provided with a non-null value. A PATCH with an empty body ({}) or with both fields omitted is a no-op and still returns 200 with the unchanged customer.
