Customers

Retrieves a customer by its unique ID.

Returns the customer's contact details, billing and shipping addresses, metadata, and the defaultTokenId of the payment method charged when a payment sets useDefaultPaymentMethod.

The customer's saved payment methods are not included. Use List Payment Methods for those.

A customer belonging to another merchant account is reported as not found.

get/customers/{id}

Request

Response

A customer object

idstring uuid required

Unique identifier for the customer.

emailstring

The customer's email address.

namestring

The customer's full name or business name.

phonestring

The customer's phone number in E.164 format.

metadataMetadata

A set of key-value pairs that you can attach to a resource. This can be useful for storing additional information about the resource in a structured format.

defaultTokenIdstring

The payment method charged when a payment sets useDefaultPaymentMethod.

MONEI fills this only while it is empty: the first reusable payment method the customer saves becomes the default, and a value you set here is kept. Deleting that payment method clears the field, so the next reusable one the customer saves becomes the new default. It must be the ID of a payment method this customer already owns, and one that can be reused for future payments.

createdAtstring date-time

Time at which the resource was created.

updatedAtstring date-time

Time at which the resource was last updated.
