Update customer

patch

https://ecm.cert.ceretax.net/customers/{id}

This endpoint can be used to partially update a previously created customer.

Only the fields present in the payload are validated and applied, and required-field checks are skipped for anything that is omitted. If customerId is included in the body, it must match the id path parameter.

taxpayerId may be omitted, but when your account is configured to require a taxpayer ID it cannot be explicitly set to an empty string.

Nested records follow the same match-by-ID rules used by Replace customer.
