Customer API

This section explains how to create and onboard customers using the API.

Customer creation and onboarding via API

The Customer API Suite allows you to create and onboard customers directly through the API. To onboard customers programmatically, include either the personalInformation field (for individuals) or the businessInformation field (for businesses) in the customer creation request.

Including either of these fields determines whether the customer onboarding flow is API-based or link-based.

  • API-based onboarding: Customer information is collected within your application and submitted via API for programmatic verification. This method is suitable for integrators who want full control over the customer onboarding experience.
  • Link-based onboarding: Customer information is verified through a standalone KYC link. After the link is generated, you can redirect the customer to complete the onboarding process. This method is ideal for integrators who want a simpler integration and prefer not to manage the onboarding experience directly.
