Update Company
Updates a Company’s attributes.
If you have configured required information fields in your store’s Extra Fields settings for Company accounts or Company users, you must include the field’s name and value in the `extraFields` array of the request body. For more information on extra fields, see [B2B Edition Settings](https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/article/B2B-Edition-Settings) in the Help Center.
### Independent vs. Dependent Companies Behavior
This endpoint applies the same rules to the `customerGroupId` field as [Create a Company](#create-a-company), based on the Company behavior used in your store. Additionally, the `priceListAssign` field is not compatible with Independent Companies behavior because a Company’s price list is configured from its assigned customer group.
If your store is using Dependent Companies behavior, use the `priceListAssign` field to assign a price list to the Company account.

Path parameters
companyId
Request
This endpoint expects an object.
companyName
companyEmail
customerGroupId
The ID of the BigCommerce customer group assigned to the Company account. This field can be static or configurable depending on whether or not your store uses Independent Companies behavior. See [Independent Companies Behavior](/developer/api-reference/rest/b2b/management/company/companies#independent-vs-dependent-companies-behavior) for more information.
uuid
An external ID assigned to the Company account in a third-party system, such as an ERP. Leave this field blank if you do not have an external system.
priceListAssign
Use this array to assign a price list to a Company account if your store uses legacy Dependent Companies behavior *and* it has Multi-Storefront enabled. Use catalogId to assign price lists if you have not enabled Multi-Storefront.
This field is read-only for stores using Independent Companies behavior. See [Independent Companies Behavior](/developer/api-reference/rest/b2b/management/company/companies#independent-vs-dependent-companies-behavior) for more information.
extraFields
To use customized extra fields with field names you need to first add company extra fields in Settings > Extra fields inside B2B edition.
e.g., If you want to create a new company with an extra integer field named licenseNO, you can use this structure [{‘fieldName’: ‘LicenseNO’, ‘fieldValue’: 10342340323}] in the request body.
