customer - Customer data - WEBSALE Dokumentation

The customer configuration node bundles all settings around capturing and processing customer data in the online shop.
It defines which information is requested in the customer account and during checkout, how these fields are named, grouped, validated and marked as required — including control of the storage type (in the account, in the order or both).
In addition, it allows you to structure forms via field groups as well as set global display and storage rules for additional customer data fields.

`customer*` - Basic structure

The basic structure of the customer node is shown below:

{
    "customer": {
      "customerDataField": {...},
      "customerDataFieldSettings": {...},
      "customerDataGroup": {...}
    }
}

Parameter overview

Parameter	Description
`customer`	Manages customer data and account functions in the shop.
`customerDataField`	Configurable customer data field.
`customerDataFieldSettings`	Settings for the display and storage of customer data fields.
`customerDataGroup`	Groups several customer data fields into a section.

`customer.customerDataField` - Customer data fields
