Add or Replace Customer Phone Number

You can create or replace a customer phone number using the following endpoint and sample payload:

POST https://example-gotransverse.com/billing/2/customers/{customer_id}/addresses

This endpoint can also create EMAIL and POSTAL addresses. Refer to Add or Replace Customer Email Address and Add or Replace Customer Postal Address.

Learn what you need to know to successfully create an address in the Considerations, Before You Start, Request, and Response sections below.


Considerations

Consider the following when adding a phone number to a customer:

  • A customer can have up to five phone numbers, one for each purpose.

  • An phone number cannot be edited or deleted. It can only be replaced with a new phone number of the same address_type and purpose.

Before You Start

You will need the following when creating a new phone number:

  • The id of the customer entity to update as the endpoint's {customer_id} path parameter.
