updateCustomerV2 mutation

The updateCustomerV2 mutation updates the personal information in an existing customer account. Use the updateCustomerEmail mutation to update the customer’s email address.

The updateCustomerV2 mutation supersedes the updateCustomer mutation as the means to update a customer account. The input objects differ between these two mutations. The updateCustomer mutation required the CustomerInput object, as did the createCustomer mutation. Updating a customer does not require any specific attribute, while several attributes are required when you create a customer. You could not determine this by looking at the schema for those mutations. The updateCustomerV2 mutation requires the CustomerUpdateInput object, which it does not share with the createCustomerV2 mutation.

To return or modify information about a customer, Magento recommends you use customer tokens in the header of your GraphQL calls. However, you also can use session authentication.

Syntax

mutation: {updateCustomerV2(input: CustomerUpdateInput!) {CustomerOutput}}
