About customers

Sync your store customers to Yotpo, to be used as contacts for messaging. This includes information about your shop's customers such as their contact details, their order history, and whether they've agreed to receive marketing messaging.

📘

Customers endpoints are available for Yotpo SMS & Email.

Good to know

  • While you can create your customers explicitly using the below endpoints, in certain scenarios customer records can also be enriched implicitly by Yotpo after interacting with a customer. For example, Yotpo will automatically enrich customer records for shoppers who reviewed a product or engaged with Loyalty features.
  • To manage subscriptions for various types of messaging, for example, SMS messaging, review requests, etc., dedicated endpoints should be used.

Customer endpoints

  • Create or update customer - Create or update a customer in your Yotpo store.
  • Retrieve customers - Retrieves a list of past and existing customers from your Yotpo store. Use this endpoint to check if a customer was registered successfully with Yotpo.
  • Create or update custom customer event -Enrich customer profiles with additional events that represent customer actions. These events can be consumed in Yotpo SMS & Email flows.
