Customers

Allow your regular customers to save their information with the Customers model. This will prevent re-entering payment instrument information for recurring payments on your platform.

Depending on the needs you can allow, creating, listing or deactivating payment instruments & creating, retrieving and updating customers.

📄️ Create a customer

Creates a new saved customer resource which you can later manipulate and save payment instruments to.

📄️ Retrieve a customer

Retrieves an identified saved customer resource through the unique `customer_id` parameter, generated upon customer creation.

📄️ Update a customer

Updates an identified saved customer resource's personal details. The request only overwrites the parameters included in the request, all other parameters will remain with their initially assigned values.

📄️ Create a payment instrument

Creates and activates a new payment instrument resource by saving a payment card for an identified customer. Implement to improve customer experience by skipping the step of entering payment instrument details. The token created via this endpoint **can not** be used for recurring payments by merchants operating within the EU.
