Customers and Identity

This section covers customer creation, onboarding, upgrades, identity verification, and customer-level records such as accounts and transactions.

customers

Use sdk.api.customers for the standard customer lifecycle.

Methods

  • create(body) creates a Tier 0 customer with POST /v1/customers.
  • list(query) retrieves customers with optional filters using GET /v1/customers.
  • get(params) fetches one customer by ID with GET /v1/customers/{id}.

Example

ts
const customer = await sdk.api.customers.create({
  first_name: 'Ada',
  last_name: 'Lovelace',
  email: 'ada@example.com',
  country: 'NG',
});

const customers = await sdk.api.customers.list({});
const fetched = await sdk.api.customers.get({ id: customer.id! });

enrollCustomers

Use sdk.api.enrollCustomers.create(body) when you want the full customer enrollment flow instead of the lighter Tier 0 customer creation route.

  • Method: create(body)
  • Endpoint: POST /v1/customers/enroll
  • Context: Creates a customer with access to broader Maplerad resources, including issuing.

updateCustomers

Use sdk.api.updateCustomers.update(body) to update customer information.

  • Method: update(body)
  • Endpoint: PATCH /v1/customers/update

activeCustomers

Use sdk.api.activeCustomers.create(params, body) to whitelist or blacklist a customer.

  • Method: create(params, body)
  • Endpoint: POST /v1/customers/{customer_id}/active
  • Context: Changes whether a customer is active for allowed downstream actions.

tier1s and tier2s

Use these namespaces when a customer needs to be upgraded for more capabilities.

  • sdk.api.tier1s.update(body) calls PATCH /v1/customers/upgrade/tier1.
  • sdk.api.tier2s.update(body) calls PATCH /v1/customers/upgrade/tier2.

Tier upgrades are typically relevant before enabling collections, issuing, or higher-limit product flows.
