What is a Customer object on Groov platform?


The customer object allows you to query the sellers/businesses customers i.e its buyers detail. The sellers commerce/payment partner platform will have the feature for the seller to save such details to enable the seller to easily process recurring payments or regular payments.

This object also allows one to track multiple payments associated with the same customer or go deeper into analysis of the various subscriptions, orders, products the buyer has subscribed/purchased from the seller/business over a period of time. This can be queried by using the customer identifier from the object definition below and querying in the other Groov data model objects (like dispute, invoices, external account) once such objects are available in the API catalogue.

The payment history associated to a customer allows you to see the engagement/sales history between the seller and the buyer (customer). This can be queried by using the customer identifier across payment object in the Groov data model.
