# Customer

### Definition

A customer is a buyer record on the e-commerce platform. It holds a name, email, address, and purchase history.

<Note>
  In this context, "customer" refers to a buyer in the consumer's e-commerce store, not the Chift [Consumer](/developer-guides/glossary#consumer) (the integrator's customer).

### Purpose

### Relationships
