A customer who is lapsed is one who you no longer consider an existing customer. This can be used to allow the customer to be referred again. A common use case for this is in subscription businesses where a customer has cancelled their subscription and is no longer a customer - you can mark them as lapsed to enable them to be re-introduced.
Lapsing is a permanent action. It can be reversed by recording a new transaction for the customer.
Lapsing is done on a queue. It may take some time for the customers to be recorded as lapsed. We recommend using the GET /v2/customers
endpoint to determine if the customer is active or not. Approximate time to lapse is
normally under < 5 minutes, but can be several hours in some cases.
Customers who we were able to queue will be returned in the accepted
array. Customers who we do not hold a record of or cannot find will be returned in the errors
array.
