Create a Membership
Use this endpoint to create a new Membership. A Membership always requires a Customer, but for convenience, you can pass customer_data to create the customer inline and attach the membership to the newly created customer.
Unless you're authorised to do so, you'll only be permitted to create a membership for a private MembershipType and/or a non-default MembershipRate when you provide a valid MembershipSignupToken ID for the type and rate in question.
The status of newly created memberships is always reserved. You'll need to make a request to the confirmMembership endpoint to update the status once the pro-rata or joining fee payment has been paid.
Headers
The user ID of the user the request is made on behalf of.
