How to create a customer

Create a customer

Creating a customer is pretty simple, since there is only one value which is mandatory.

{
	  "email": "jane@doe.com",
	  "merchantCustomerId": "xyz"
}

Send request with curl

With the body ready we can now send the request via curl.

curl --user MerchantID:APIKey \  
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
-X POST \
-d '{"email":"jane@doe.com","merchantCustomerId":"xyz"}' \

We will now touch on every part of this command.

--user MerchantID:APIKey
Curl Option for HTTP basic access authentication

-H "Content-Type: application/json"
content-type header "application/json" for our API

-X POST
We want the request to be a HTTP POST.

-d '{"email":"jane@doe.com","merchantCustomerId":"xyz"}' The body for our request in JSON format.
