Update a customer

Updates the specified customer by setting the values of the parameters passed. Any parameters not provided will be left unchanged. For example, if you pass the source parameter, that becomes the customer’s active source (e.g., a card) to be used for all charges in the future. When you update a customer to a new valid card source by passing the source parameter: for each of the customer’s current subscriptions, if the subscription bills automatically and is in the past_due state, then the latest open invoice for the subscription with automatic collection enabled will be retried. This retry will not count as an automatic retry, and will not affect the next regularly scheduled payment for the invoice. Changing the default_source for a customer will not trigger this behavior.

This request accepts mostly the same arguments as the customer creation call.

Parameters

  • emailstring

    A case-sensitive filter on the list based on the customer’s email field. The value must be a string.

More parameters

  • createdmap

  • ending_beforestring

  • limitinteger

  • starting_afterstring

  • test_clockstring

Returns

Delete a customer

Permanently deletes a customer. It cannot be undone. Also immediately cancels any active subscriptions on the customer.

Parameters

No parameters.

Returns

Returns an object with a deleted parameter on success. If the customer ID does not exist, this call returns an error.

Unlike other objects, deleted customers can still be retrieved through the API in order to be able to track their history. Deleting customers removes all credit card details and prevents any further operations to be performed (such as adding a new subscription).
