merchantOAuth customers:writeAuthorizationBearer <token>OAuth 2.1 (authorization code + PKCE S256, public clients, dynamic registration) for connected AI apps. Effective power is scopes granted AND the person's role today AND the plan. orders:refund, billing:write and team:write are opt-in on the consent screen. Write implies read for marketing:read and messages:read, so a grant holding marketing:write passes a marketing:read check, and messages:send passes messages:read.
Scope: customers:write
storeId*stringA store the person can reach. Any other id answers 404, never 403.
customerId*stringIdempotency-Key*stringRequired on every write. Minted on the device when the person taps, reused on every retry. A write without one, or with one that does not match the pattern, is refused with 422 validation_error. Scoped to the token's subject, remembered 24 hours. A replay returns the first 2xx response with Idempotent-Replay: true; a request still running answers 409 in_flight; the same key with a different method, path or body answers 409 idempotency_key_reused; non-2xx results are not remembered. If the key store cannot be read nothing is processed and the answer is 503 idempotency_unavailable: retry with the same key.

On create name is required. On PATCH only the keys present change; a key sent as null or empty clears it. orderCount and totalSpent are never writable.
