Which API is used for creating and managing customer accounts?

The Customer API is specifically designed for creating and managing customer accounts within the Salesforce B2C Commerce platform. It provides the necessary functionalities for handling customer information, such as creating new accounts, retrieving account details, updating customer profiles, and managing account settings. This API deals directly with customer identities and allows for the comprehensive management of their data, ensuring that businesses can provide personalized experiences and maintain up-to-date customer profiles.

The other APIs serve different purposes. The Order API focuses on managing transactions and order-related data, the Inventory API is concerned with product stock levels and availability, and the Payment API deals with payment processing and transactions. These APIs do not address the specific requirements associated with customer account management, highlighting the unique role of the Customer API in handling such tasks.
