Customer Registration

Customer registration is a process that allows you to create a customer in Sphere. This process involves verifying the customer's identity and creating a customer record in Sphere.

1. Create a Customer

To create a customer, you can use the Create Customer endpoint.

Request Example

{
    "type": "individual | business",
    "address": {
      "line1": "string",
      "line2": "string",
      "city": "string",
      "postalCode": "string",
      "state": "string",
      "country": "string"
    }
  }

2. Accepting Terms of Service

After a customer has been created, you can generate a TOS link to redirect the customer to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. To generate a TOS link, you can use the Generate TOS Link endpoint

Once the link is generated, you can redirect the customer to the link to complete the onboarding process. The customer is expected to accept the Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policy before proceeding.

The bank account will remain in pending status until the customer's identity is verified.

After the customer has completed the KYC/KYB process, you can check the customer status to ensure the customer is onboarded. To check the customer status, you can use the Check Customer Status endpoint.
