# Introducing the new Customer Merge API

As of GraphQL Admin API version **2023-04**, you can now use the Customer Merge API to combine two separate customer profiles with certain non-blocking criteria. You can use the new mutations and queries to:

* [Preview a customer merge](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/queries/customerMergePreview)
* [Merge two customers](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/mutations/customerMerge)
* [Follow the status of an ongoing merge](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/queries/customerMergeJobStatus)

Additionally, you can check whether a customer can be merged with another customer using the new [Customer.mergeable](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/objects/Customer#field-customer-mergeable) field. This field is also available on the CustomerSegmentMember API [CustomerSegmentMember. mergeable](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2023-04/objects/CustomerSegmentMember#field-customersegmentmember-mergeable).

You can learn more about merging customer profiles on [Shopify Help Center](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/customers/manage-customers#merging-customer-profiles).
