Change Used Methods

Instead of using customerService.retrieveByEmail, you should now use the methods customerService.retrieveRegisteredByEmail or customerService.retrieveUnregisteredByEmail.

The customerService.retrieveRegisteredByEmail method allows you to retrieve a registered customer by email:

customerService.retrieveRegisteredByEmail("example@gmail.com")

On the other hand, the retrieveUnregisteredByEmail method allows to retrieve guest customers by email:

customerService.retrieveUnregisteredByEmail("example@gmail.com")

To retrieve a customer by email regardless of whether they are registered or not, you can use the customerService.list method instead:

customerService.list({
  email: "example@gmail.com",
})
