[faris1]

Hi,

i want search a customer by his/her email address, i am using the below url 

https://connect.squareup.com/v2/customers/search

if there is any way to search a customer using email address so please let me know

thanks

Hi @faris1 At this time you can’t search by email. Currently the only fields you can search by are creation_source, created_at, and updated_at. In order to find a customer by email programmatically, you would need to loop through all customers (by calling ListCustomers) and find a customer with a matching email address. Hope this helps in the meantime!

Thanks for your help.

how can i ask to square development team to add this functionality ? @Helen

@faris1 It's a request that we're already tracking - thanks! We'll update you here if it's possible to search by email in future.

@Helen if there is million of customers and iterating them i think its inefficient way. If in square there is limited customers so please let me know otherwise i think i should wait for email filtering implementation.

Hi,

Is there any update on square customer search by email or any other custom field?

Hey @recap,

I don't have any news to share on this one unfortunately, but at the same time we don't have much experience with using APIs on our Seller Community forum - the best place to ask is our Developer Forum, which launched since the thread first started a couple years back!
