Create customer and card

To create a customer and associate it with your card, you must send the email field, the type of payment method, the ID of the issuing bank and the generated token. Each customer will be saved with the value customer and each card with the value card.

In addition, we recommend storing your card data whenever a payment is successfully completed. This allows the correct data to be stored for future purchases and streamlines the payment process for the buyer.

To create a customer and card, use one of the codes below.

          
<?php
  MercadoPagoConfig::setAccessToken("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN");
  
  $client_customer = new CustomerClient();
  $customer = $client_customer->create(["email" => "my.user@example.com"]);
  $client = new CustomerCardClient();
  $customer_card = $client->create($customer->id, ["token" => "your_card_token"]);
?>

          
const client = new MercadoPagoConfig({ accessToken: 'access_token' });
const customerClient = new Customer(client);

const customer = customerClient.get({ customerId: '<CUSTOMER_ID>' })
	.then((result) => {

  const cardClient = new CustomerCard(client);

  const body = {
       token : result.token,
       issuer_id: '2345',
       payment_method: 'debit_card' 
  };

cardClient.create({ customerId: customer, body: body })
.then(console.log).catch(console.log);
});

          
MercadoPagoConfig.setAccessToken("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN");

CustomerClient customerClient = new CustomerClient();
CustomerCardClient customerCardClient = new CustomerCardClient();

CustomerRequest customerRequest = CustomerRequest.builder()
.email("john@test.com")
.build();
Customer customer = customerClient.create(customerRequest);

CustomerCardIssuer issuer = CustomerCardIssuer.builder()
.id("3245612")
.build();

CustomerCardCreateRequest cardCreateRequest = CustomerCardCreateRequest.builder()
.token("9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda")
.issuer(issuer)
.paymentMethodId("debit_card")
.build();

customerCardClient.create(customer.getId(), cardCreateRequest);

          
require 'mercadopago'

sdk = Mercadopago::SDK.new('ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN')

customer_request = {
email: 'john@yourdomain.com'
}
customer_response = sdk.customer.create(customer_request)
customer = customer_response[:response]

card_request = {
token: '9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda',
issuer_id: '3245612',
payment_method_id: 'visa'
}
card_response = sdk.card.create(customer['id'], card_request)
card = card_response[:response]

          
MercadoPagoConfig.AccessToken = "ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN";

var customerRequest = new CustomerRequest
{
Email = "test_payer_12345@testuser.com",
};
var customerClient = new CustomerClient();
Customer customer = await customerClient.CreateAsync(customerRequest);

var cardRequest = new CustomerCardCreateRequest
{
Token = "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda"
};
CustomerCard card = await customerClient.CreateCardAsync(customer.Id, cardRequest);

          
import market
sdk = Mercadopago.SDK("ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN")

customer_data = {
"email": "test_payer_12345@testuser.com"
}
customer_response = sdk.customer().create(customer_data)
customer = customer_response["response"]

card_data = {
"token": "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda",
"issuer_id": "3245612",
"payment_method_id": "visa"
}
card_response = sdk.card().create(customer["id"], card_data)
card = card_response["response"]

          
curl -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
'https://api.mercadopago.com/v1/customers/CUSTOMER_ID/cards' \
-d '{"token": "9b2d63e00d66a8c721607214cedaecda", "issuer_id": "3245612", "payment_method_id": "visa"}'

The response will bring the following result.

{
"id": "123456789-jxOV430go9fx2e",
"email": "test_payer_12345@testuser.com",
...
"default_card": "1490022319978",
"default_address": null,
"cards": [{
"id": "1490022319978",
"expiration_month": 12,
"expiration_year": 2020,
"first_six_digits": "415231",
"last_four_digits": "0001",
...
}],
"addresses": [],
"live_mode": false
}

Attention

If the request response returns an error like invalid parameter with HTTP code 400, review the payment_method_id and issuer_id parameters to ensure that the values have been entered correctly. Also, when using test users, keep in mind the following format for customer email: test_payer_[0-9]{1,10}@testuser.com For example: test_payer_12345@testuser.com.
