Beta
Credentials, one of
  • Station token
  • OAuth access token
Scopes
customers:write
Subscription
Needs an active plan. Otherwise 403 subscription_locked.
Idempotency
Send an Idempotency-Key header. A retry with the same key does the work once.
POST
/v1/merchant/stores/{storeId}/customers

Access: OAuth scope customers:write; write-gated by the subscription.

Authorization

headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

It may call only the operations whose x-stations lists its kind, on its own store, and acts through the access of the owner or admin who paired it. Unpairing it, or that person leaving the business, ends it (401 station_revoked).

Path Parameters

storeId*string

A store the person can reach. Any other id answers 404, never 403.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key*string

Required on every write. Minted on the device when the person taps, reused on every retry. A write without one, or with one that does not match the pattern, is refused with 422 validation_error. Scoped to the token's subject, remembered 24 hours. A replay returns the first 2xx response with Idempotent-Replay: true; a request still running answers 409 in_flight; the same key with a different method, path or body answers 409 idempotency_key_reused; non-2xx results are not remembered. If the key store cannot be read nothing is processed and the answer is 503 idempotency_unavailable: retry with the same key.
