Search customers

POST

 /v2/customers/search

Searches the customer profiles associated with a Square account using one or more supported query filters.

Calling SearchCustomers without any explicit query filter returns all customer profiles ordered alphabetically based on given_name and family_name.

Under normal operating conditions, newly created or updated customer profiles become available for the search operation in well under 30 seconds. Occasionally, propagation of the new or updated profiles can take closer to one minute or longer, especially during network incidents and outages.
