Customer approval is carried out in Master Data and can be done via the Admin or via API. See below for instructions on each of the two forms of approval.

To approve customers in the Admin, follow the steps below:

1. In the VTEX Admin, access Store Settings > Storefront > Master Data.
2. Inside the box Profile System, click on the icon next to Customers.
3. Click the row of the customer you want to approve.
4. At the bottom of the page, click on the Edit button.
5. Select the checkbox next to the Approved field.
6. At the bottom of the page, click onSave.

After that, the store content will be displayed to the selected customers.

You can approve multiple customers at once via a Master Data API route.

All information related to a customer can be interpreted as a document in the Customer data entity. Therefore, the PATCH Update partial document route must be used to change the Approved field value in bulk.

Check the Import customer data guide to learn which fields are required for a specific individual document.
