Custom values are five free-text fields you can store on any customer. They are useful for data that does not fit the standard fields — an internal reference, a lead source, a call center note code, or any value your integration needs to keep alongside the customer.
Your integration can also fill them through the API: they are the CustomValue1 to CustomValue5 fields (up to 512 characters each) of POST /api/v2/open/customers when you create a customer and PUT /api/v2/open/customers/{id} when you update one. On an update, any field you leave out keeps its current value.
Step 1: Open the Custom Values Tab
Go to For Customers > Search.
Find the customer and open their profile.
Open the Custom Values tab.
Step 2: Read the Values
The tab lists the five fields — Custom Value 1 through Custom Value 5 — with the value stored for this customer. Empty fields are shown as blank.
Step 3: Edit the Values
Click the Edit button in the Custom Values tab.
The Custom Values window opens with five inputs labelled Value 1 to Value 5, pre-filled with the current data.
Type or change the values you need.
Click Save. A Custom values updated successfully confirmation appears and the tab refreshes.
