A customer who doesn't have an account yet needs to be registered.

The registration process involves the following steps:

1. Provide Metadata

To register customers you need to specify:

• the customer country (to calculate tax),
• currency,
• locale (which defines language and text formatting).

To get this data, you can request from the frontend to /locales. This data is defined based on the IP address of the request.

2. Fetch Publisher's Consents

There are two types of consents:

• terms & conditions (both Cleeng's and the publisher's ones)
• marketing options (if applicable)

You can manage consents in Admin&Tools -> Capture and fetch them by /publishers/:publisherId/consents

3. Display Registration Form with Consents

The registration form should include at least email and password fields and checkboxes for terms & conditions and marketing options.

You shouldn't register the customer if she/he hasn't accepted the terms and conditions.

4. Register Customer

If the registration form has been completed correctly, the customer can be registered.
To register the customer use: /customers

5. Update Customer's Consents

After successful registration, submit the selected consents by request to /customers/:customerId/consents.

Testing

Registered customers are shown in the 'Customer Accounts' dashboard.

Go to 'Customer Accounts' page on sandbox or production.

Captcha

📘

Good to know

We recommend using Captcha mechanisms to prevent getting rate limits.

Rate limits are:

• by default, each method has 200 rps and 50 concurrent requests,
• login method has 50 rps and 20 concurrent requests,
• registration method has 20 rps and 10 concurrent requests,
• reset password method has 10 rps and 5 concurrent requests (because it sends an email).

When reaching the limit, you will get 429 error code. If that happens, wait a few moments to unlock this endpoint.
