# POST Restore a customiser

Brings a deleted customiser back, with its options, pricing, translations, and live state exactly as they were. This is the one operation that addresses a deleted customiser: everywhere else a deleted id is indistinguishable from an unknown one, so restore it by the id its deletion receipt carries. Restoring one that is not deleted changes nothing and answers 200 with the same resource, so the operation is safe to repeat. A customiser that was live when it was deleted comes back live, without rechecking the plan — restoring is putting back what was already counted, not claiming a new live slot. Requires `customisers:write` and an `Idempotency-Key`. The restore clears the customiser's cached storefront configuration and resynchronises translated content; it never regenerates your Shopify products, product images, or product cache.
