Add Customer Via REST API with a company

Question

I am using Magento 2 official B2B extension and I am trying to create customers via the REST API and assign it to a company on creation.

Sending a POST request to /rest/default/V1/customers with the below data I get back a response.

{
 "customer": {
 "email": "[email protected]",
 "firstname": "API",
 "lastname": "test",
 "website_id": 4,
 "extension_attributes": {
 "company_attributes": {
 "company_id": 1,
 "status": 0
 }
 },
 "customAttributes": [
 {
 "attributeCode": "amasty_store_id",
 "value": "323"
 },
 {
 "attributeCode": "company_id",
 "value": "1"
 }
 ]
 }
}

When the response comes back I can see the "status" takes effect but the company_id doesn't take effect. I tried passing it as a customAttribute above but it had no effect.

...
"extension_attributes": {
 "company_attributes": {
 "customer_id": 88,
 "company_id": 0,
 "status": 0
 },
 "is_subscribed": false
},
...

I did try with the editing customer api PUT /rest/default/V1/customers/88 and this worked to assign a customer to a company via the API using the extension_attributes method. But I haven't been able to find a way to 'create' a customer in a company via the API.

• rex: yeah, it says here - developer.adobe.com/commerce/webapi/rest/b2b/company-users you can't add company id directly.

Answer 1

We can't directly assign to the company, Here is the ideas to apply customer for company.

PUT <host>/rest/default/V1/customers/10

Payload:

{
"customer": {
"id": 10,
"email": "[email protected]",
"firstname": "Test",
"lastname": "Dev",
"website_id": 1,
"extension_attributes": {
 "company_attributes": {
 "company_id": 2,
 "status": 0,
 "job_title": "Sales Rep",
 "telephone": "123-123-1122"
 }
 }
 }
}

Respons:

{
 "id": 10,
 "group_id": 1,
