## Mutations with this payload

* [customer​Update](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/latest/mutations/customerUpdate)

  mutation

  Updates a [customer's](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2026-04/objects/Customer) personal information such as name, password, and marketing preferences. Requires a valid [`CustomerAccessToken`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2026-04/objects/CustomerAccessToken) to authenticate the customer making the update.

  If the customer's password is updated, then all previous access tokens become invalid. The mutation returns a new access token in the payload to maintain the customer's session.

  ***

  **Caution:** Password changes invalidate all existing access tokens. Ensure your app handles the new token returned in the response to avoid logging the customer out.
