Authorizations

public-api-key · string · header · required

Your public API key from the Yuno Dashboard

Your private secret key (server-side only)

Path Parameters

customer_id · string<uuid> · required

The unique identifier of the customer

Body

application/json

Request body for creating or updating a customer. Only merchant_customer_id is required; every other field is optional, but the more information you supply, the better the downstream authorization, conversion, and fraud-prevention rates.

merchant_customer_id · string · required

Your unique identifier for this customer in your own platform. Must be unique within your Yuno account — POSTing twice with the same value returns a CUSTOMER_ID_DUPLICATED 400 error. Use this ID to retrieve the customer later via Retrieve Customer by External ID.

Required string length: 3 - 255

Example:

"cust-internal-001"

merchant_customer_created_at · string<date-time>

Date the customer was originally registered on your platform. ISO 8601 format with microseconds and Z suffix (e.g., 2024-01-15T12:34:56.123456Z). Used by some risk providers as a tenure signal.

Required string length: 27

Example:

"2024-01-15T12:34:56.123456Z"

first_name · string

Customer's first name (legal first name as it appears on the identification document).

Required string length: 3 - 255
