Why is first name / last name required fields in Shopify

These aren’t required fields in Shopify, so why does Zapier require it to create a customer?

 

En tout cas, does anyone have a suggested work around when you don’t have one or either of these but are required to input it? alt+255 blank space code isn’t recognized in zapier so no win there. 

 

worst case I can add a period or some other character there but we’ll be quoting/invoicing with this and having to period there will not be professional, and cause extra work in updating the customer to remove it

 

Thank you

Hi @horti 

You may have to explore using the Shopify API: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2024-01/resources/customer#post-customers

Try these Zap actions:

  • Custom Action
  • API Request

thanks Troy but I wouldn’t have an idea where to start in terms of using API’s, and not worth paying someone to do it for us, it’s not a hugely important zap that I’m trying to set up, just a convenient one

 

I’m A-P-Illiterate thats why I love Zapier :P

Any suggestions for workarounds?
