# Update customer names

PATCH https://integrators.prod.api.tabsplatform.com/v3/customers/{id}/name
Content-Type: application/json

Reference: https://docs.tabs.com/api-reference/customers/updateCustomerName

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a PatchCustomerNamesV3Dto.

- `name` (string, optional) — Preferred company name
- `companyName` (string, optional) — Legal company name. Sets the value; it cannot be cleared through this endpoint.

## Response

### 200

Customer name updated in Tabs. When the merchant has an ERP connected, `jobId` is the sync job's ID and `statusEndpoint` points at it. When there's no ERP, `jobId` is null and `statusEndpoint` points at the customer instead.

- `payload` (CustomerJobResponseV3Dto, required) — Response payload, will be empty when success is false
- `success` (boolean, required) — Boolean with true=success, false=failure
- `message` (string, required) — Plain-text description of the result
- `error` (IntegratorsApiError, optional) — json element with any error messages or warnings

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Validation failed, or top level customers cannot be modified

- `any`

### 404 Not Found Error

Customer not found

- `any`

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal server error

- `any`

## Types

### CustomerJobResponseV3Dto

- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable status message
- `customerId` (string, required) — The Tabs customer ID
- `jobId` (string, required, nullable) — ERP sync workflow ID. Null when the merchant has no ERP connected — there is no job to queue
- `statusEndpoint` (string, required) — Where to check status: /v3/jobs/\{jobId} when an ERP sync was queued, or /v3/customers/\{customerId} when it was not

### IntegratorsApiError

- `code` (double, required) — API response code
- `message` (string, required) — API response message
- `errorCode` (string, optional) — Machine-readable error code
