PATCH/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/customer/{hash_id}/address/{id}/primary

v1Operation ID v1_public_customer_address_primary

Makes this address the customer's primary address of its role (billing or shipping); the previous one stops being primary. Returns the address.

Permission

Needs the Manage Customers permission ("Manage All" or "Manage Assigned to User"). Whether the customer is assigned to you is not checked.

Business rules

  • Only a current address: one replaced by an edit, synced from another system or redacted is refused with 409 (address_save_result.current_address is the one to use).
  • Addresses synced from Shopify are read-only (422).
  • Customers synced from Shopify are read-only here: changes are refused with 422 validation_error "External customers are read-only. Manage changes from Shopify." System customers (is_system: true) are refused the same way ("System customer cannot be modified or deleted.").

Errors

  • 401The API key is missing or wrong (unauthenticated).

  • 403You are not allowed to do this. api_access_not_in_plan: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}. Other refusals use the error envelope, with unauthorized or user_is_not_authorized.

    When
    Your role has no Manage Customers permission. This 403 has a short body, {"message": "Insufficient Permission"}, with no success or error.
    Fix
    Ask a team owner to give your role Manage Customers.
  • 404Not found. page_not_found: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. code: null, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.

    When
    The address is deleted or not this customer's. error.code is null and error.message names the record type.
    Fix
    Restore it first.
  • 409The address is an old copy replaced by an edit (blocked_superseded_historical_address; current_address is the copy to use), or it is synced from another system or redacted (blocked_external_or_compliance; current_address is the same address). Not the usual error envelope: success: false, address_save_result and message (the save_mode); no status or error.

    When
    The address is not current: replaced by an edit (address_save_result.save_mode blocked_superseded_historical_address), or synced from another system or redacted (blocked_external_or_compliance). Not the usual error envelope: the body has success: false, address_save_result and message.
    Fix
    For a replaced address, use address_save_result.current_address.id. A synced or redacted address can't be changed.
  • 422Validation failed or external Shopify customers are read-only from this API.

    When
    The address is synced from Shopify (validation_error, "Shopify-managed customer addresses are read-only. Manage changes from Shopify.").
    Fix
    Change it in Shopify.
    When
    The customer comes from Shopify, or is a system customer (error.code validation_error, with the reason in error.message).
    Fix
    Change Shopify customers in Shopify. System customers cannot be changed.
