If you maintain the master record for the customer login credentials, the payload must contain the externalReferenceId.

Payload example

{
	"shopper": {
		"firstName": "John",
		"lastName": "Johnson",
		"externalReferenceId": "abc123",
		"emailAddress": "[e-mail]",
		"locale": "en_US",
		"currency": "USD"
	 }
 }

The response returns an HTTP Status 201 Created from the server.

After you create a base customer record, you can get an authenticated customer token and call the GET shoppers/me/account resource to allow the customer to log in and configure their account information. The account information associated with a customer includes the shipping address, billing address, and payment options.
