Customer Lookup
QFD can integrate either via REST or SOAP using real time API calls to the system of record in order to search for and load customer information.
Please note: We do NOT support any custom additions to the below list, and the customer search options we can implement is dependent on the allowed values that your API supports.
By default, QFD supports searching for customers using the following API request options:
Possible Request Option | Notes | |
---|---|---|
1 | First Name | First name of the desired customer. |
2 | Last Name | Last name of the desired customer. |
3 | Address Line 1 | Street address of the desired customer. |
4 | City | Address city of the desired customer. |
5 | State | Address state of the desired customer. |
6 | Zip Code | Address zip code of the desired customer. |
7 | Account Number | The unique account identifier that can be used to look up a specific customer. |
8 | Social Security Number or Tax ID Number | QFD is usually configured to not store this value, and prefers to not leverage this option unless absolutely required to do so. |
9 | Customer ID | Unique identifier that can be used to look up a specific customer. |
10 | Card Number | This can either be the full card PAN or the Card ID/Token depending on the configuration of the API. |
In order for QFD to display search results, and to retain other needed customer information, we will need as many of the following data points as possible to be made available from the API response:
