# Write data to metafields with the Customer Account API

Store and access customer information by writing data to metafields with the Customer Account API, and build experiences for merchants that enable logged-in customers to update information about themselves.

Custom customer data previously stored exclusively outside of Shopify can now be accessed and added directly to the customer record via using the Customer Account API. With the 2024-07 release of the Customer Account API, use the [metafieldsSet mutation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer/unstable/mutations/metafieldsSet) to assign metafield values on Customer, Order, Company, and CompanyLocation resources.

Learn more about writing data to metafields with the Customer Account API by reading our developer documentation.
