Customer API

The Customer API provides endpoints for retrieving paginated lists of customers linked to stores that the authenticated user has access to.

All Customer API endpoints require authentication and a valid x-store-id header to identify the store context.

Overview

Customers can be:

Linked to a store (created automatically when a store is created)
Linked to a user account (created when a user signs up)
Created manually with a local name and optional default price list
Assigned or updated with a default price list
Filtered and sorted by various criteria
Retrieved in paginated lists
Bulk deleted from a store (remove multiple customer-store relations)

Endpoint Details

Base URL: /customers
Content-Type: application/json

Required Headers

Authorization: Bearer <token>
x-store-id: <store_id>

All routes require a valid x-store-id header. Users must have an active relation with the store to access its customers.

Summary

Endpoint	Method	Description
`/customers`	`GET`	Retrieve paginated list of customers for a store
`/customers`	`POST`	Create a new customer and link to store
`/customers/:customerId/price-list`	`PUT`	Assign or update customer’s default price list
`/customers/:customerId/price-list`	`DELETE`	Remove customer’s default price list
`/customers/bulk`	`DELETE`	Bulk remove customers from the current store

Security & Validation

All routes require a valid x-store-id header
User must have an active relation with the store to access its customers
Store ID validation prevents unauthorized access
Pagination limits are enforced (max 100 items per page)

Business Logic

Customer Creation

Customers can be created manually via POST /customers with a localName
When creating a customer, you can optionally assign a defaultPriceListId
Creating a customer automatically creates a CustomerStore relation linking the customer to the store
The price list must exist and be active if provided

Customer Price List Management

Customers can have a default price list assigned via PUT /customers/:customerId/price-list
The price list must exist and be active (verified by verifyPriceList())
Optionally, you can update the customer’s name when setting the price list by including the name field in the request
Price lists can be removed via DELETE /customers/:customerId/price-list
Removing a price list sets defaultPriceListId to null

Customer Retrieval

Returns paginated lists of customers for a specific store
Supports filtering by name (exact or partial match) and active status
Supports sorting by name, isActive, updatedAt, or createdAt
Default sorting is by createdAt in descending order (newest first)
Pagination is 1-based (first page is page 1)

Internal Methods

These methods are part of the internal business logic and are not exposed as public endpoints:

Method	Purpose
`verifyPriceList()`	Checks if a price list exists and is active
`createCustomerFromStore(storeId, storeName)`	Auto-creates customer entities for new stores
`createCustomerFromUser(userId, firstName, lastName)`	Creates a customer linked to a user account
`getCustomerByUserId(userId)`	Fetches the customer record for a specific user
`getCustomerByStoreId(storeId)`	Returns the customer representing a store

Validation Rules

Page number must be >= 1
Limit must be between 1 and 100
SortBy must be one of: name, isActive, updatedAt, createdAt
SortOrder must be either asc or desc
User must have access to the specified store
localName is required when creating a customer
priceListId must be a valid UUID and reference an existing, active price list
Bulk delete requires at least one valid UUID in ids
Only customers linked to the specified store will be removed
