The create customer address endpoint is like starting a new page in
our digital address book specifically designed for businesses using
Payiano. When a business meets a new customer
or a current customer needs to add a different address, this endpoint
makes it easy to add that new information into the system. It's like
when you meet someone new and save their address in your phone.
For businesses, this means they can quickly update their records with
a new shipping or billing address whenever a customer moves or wants
their order sent somewhere new. This keeps everything up-to-date, ensuring
that orders, promotions, and any important notices are sent to the right
place right from the start. It’s a key tool for growing their customer
base and making sure the first step in the customer journey is smooth
and welcoming, laying the groundwork for a strong relationship with each
customer by recognizing and recording their individual needs right away.
Authorization header with access token is required to access this endpoint: Bearer ACCESS-TOKEN
