Hello,

I’m using the Shopify API to create new users through our platform. The API requests are successful and execute without errors in Postman. However, when I check the Shopify Admin panel under “Customers,” the newly created users are not visible.

Could someone please help me understand why these new users are not appearing in the admin panel and how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you!
