Add an address to a customer

Open .md

POST/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/customer/{hash_id}/address

v1Operation ID v1_public_customer_address_store

Adds a billing or shipping address and returns it.

The first address of each role becomes primary; later ones don't, whatever is_primary says. Use Set the primary address to change it.

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

  • state_code and country_code are trimmed and upper-cased.
  • Works on a deleted customer too: the address is added to it.
  • For US and CA, state or state_code must name a real state or province; YoPrint stores the name and the code together.
  • 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
    No customer with this id in the team. Deleted customers are found here, so this also works on a deleted customer. error.code is null and error.message names the record type.
    Fix
    Check the id.
  • 422Validation failed or external Shopify customers are read-only from this API.

    When
    role, label, address1, country_code or is_primary is missing, or a US or Canadian state can't be matched. error.code is validation_failed.
    Fix
    Fix each field named in error.fields; its keys are field paths such as contact.0.phone.
    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.
