New Customer vs. update customer methods
I wanted to confirm. If someone is a new customer and I enter their CG params into the update customer method then CG will still create the new customer correct?

Hi Derreck --
You'll actually need to create the customer record before you can use the update method.
Let me know if you need help with anything else.

So update method does not also work to create a new customer if all the
required params are given to the API? I just wanted to confirm so I can
build a fail safe system.

That's correct.

What about update subscription vs new customer? Will update subscription
work to create a new customer if the subscription does not already exist?

Hi Derreck --
The customer record needs to be created before you can use either the update subscription or update customer method.

Are you sure that is true? Your documentation for Update Sub
<https://cheddargetter.com/developers#update-subscription> says the
following:
Notes*If the customer does not already have a subscription with a valid
credit card, all credit card information is required.* If the plan code
corresponds to a "free" plan, no credit card data is required. If the
customer already has a subscription with a credit card, no credit card
information data is required. In this instance, any subset of credit card
data may be provided. Your preferences still apply for ccCardCode and
ccZip.

Yes, I'm sure.
That is only referencing credit card information for existing customer records. If there is no existing customer record, that would not apply.
