Change Customer Password

Updated 10 September 2026

POST `?action=set_customer_password`

Change the password on a customer's login. Every outstanding reset link stops working at the same moment. Send current_password when your form insists on it — it is checked first (401 when wrong); your site has already signed the customer in, so that is your choice, not the API's.

Request Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Description
`customer_id`	integer	Requiredone of these two	The customer
`customer_email`	string	Requiredone of these two	Their address
`password`	string	Required	The new password (min 8)
`current_password`	string	Optional	Checked first when sent

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
`customer_id`	integer	The customer
`changed`	boolean	Always true on success
