createCustomerV2 mutation

Log an Issue

The createCustomerV2 mutation creates a customer account. Use the createCustomerAddress mutation to complete the customer profile and define billing and shipping addresses.

The createCustomerV2 mutation supersedes the createCustomer mutation as the means to create a customer account. The input objects differ between these two mutations. The createCustomer mutation required the CustomerInput object, as did the updateCustomer mutation. The attributes required for creating a customer are different than those for updating a customer, but you could not determine this by looking at the schema. The createCustomerV2 mutation requires the CustomerCreateInput object, which it does not share with the updateCustomerV2 mutation.

Syntax

mutation: {createCustomerV2(input: CustomerCreateInput!) {CustomerOutput}}
