Customers are the people and businesses that buy the products listed in your catalog.
Paddle automatically creates customers for you as part of the checkout, or you can create and manage them using the Paddle dashboard or API.
Customer entities hold information like:
- Who's being billed.
- What their email address is.
- Whether they've opted-in to marketing.
Customers have two subentities:
- Addresses, which hold information about customer billing addresses
- Businesses, which hold information that you need when working with a business
Customers, addresses, and businesses work with checkouts, transactions, and subscriptions to let customers purchase products and prices.
There's no delete operation for customers. Use the update a customer operation to archive customers when you no longer need them. To learn more, see Delete entities
