List of customers related API requests

getCustomers

Retrieve your customer database.

In addition to customer card fields, you can have API to return:

• customer addresses (set getAddresses = 1);
• customer contact persons (set getContactPersons = 1);
• customer balance (set getBalanceInfo = 1)

To add or edit a customer record, use saveCustomer.

Each customer belongs to a customer group (see getCustomerGroups).

To retrieve current reward points balance for a particular customer, see getCustomerRewardPoints.

Important: if you operate in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires all processing done with customers' personal information to be logged. Every time you retrieve customer information with the getCustomers call, you are responsible for logging everything you do with the data. If it is not possible to keep the logs in the system that processes the data, you may consider writing the log entries into Erply, with the logProcessingOfCustomerData call.

verifyCustomerUser

Validate customer's web shop user name and password.

This API call is for building a web shop that has a log-in (members-only) area. In Erply Customer module, you can assign a user name and password for each of your customers. (These user names / passwords DO NOT grant the customer any access into your Erply account, and cannot be used for that purpose. They can only be used in your web shop.)

Use API verifyCustomerUser to validate the user name and password and retrieve the customer record that these credentials belong to. Calling This API call will not create any "session" or make the customer somehow logged into API; it just serves a verification purpose.

Instead, if you want to learn how to generally authenticate yourself when connecting to Erply API — to be able to issue any API calls at all — see verifyUser.
