plaid

Creates a new end customer for a Plaid reseller.

Changed on

The /partner/customer/create endpoint is used by reseller partners to create end customers. To create end customers, it should be called in the Production environment only, even when creating Sandbox API keys. If called in the Sandbox environment, it will return a sample response, but no customer will be created and the API keys will not be valid.

If true, the end customer's default Link customization will be set to match the partner's. You can always change the end customer's Link customization in the Plaid Dashboard. See the Link Customization docs for more information. If you require the ability to programmatically create end customers using multiple different Link customization profiles, contact your Plaid account manager for assistance.

Important: Data Transparency Messaging (DTM) use cases will not be copied to the end customer's Link customization unless the Publish changes button is clicked after the use cases are applied. Link will not work in Production unless the end customer's DTM use cases are configured. For more details, see Data Transparency Messaging.
