The Update Vendor API lets you update the details of an existing vendor, whether the vendor is active or inactive. You can update:

Basic attributes – Name, status, type, rank, code, and description
Security settings – Encryption flag and associated vendor types
Configuration details – Custom key-value pairs in vendorDetails
Media assets – Associated images and videos

While updating, if you omit a field, its current value remains unchanged. To remove a value, set the field to empty. For example, if you want to keep the existing vendor name but remove the description, simply exclude the name field and set the description field to an empty string.
