# Customers people create

`POST /customers/{id}/people` · Skerry · Customers

Name another owner, controller or signer of a business customer, in the form `POST /customers` takes in `people[]`. At least one of `owns`, `controls` and `signs` is true; `address.country` is ISO 3166-1 alpha-3. Identity documents and files are passed on to the banking partner and never stored by Skerry. `reliance` is accepted only from an account approved for it. For example `{"first_name": "Ada", "last_name": "Lovelace", "email": "ada@example.com", "date_of_birth": "1985-12-10", "address": {"line1": "1 Main Street", "city": "Berlin", "postal_code": "10115", "country": "DEU"}, "owns": true, "ownership_percent": 40}`.

- Scope: customers:write
- Moves money: no
- Idempotency: optional
- Untrusted: first_name, last_name, email, title

## Parameters

- `id` (path, required), string
- `Idempotency-Key` (header), string: A repeat with the same key and body returns the first answer instead of acting twice.

## Request body

`application/json`

```json
{
  "type": "object"
}
```

## Responses

- `200`: Success.
- `202`: requires_approval — Not an error: the operation is held for a person. The body names the approval.
- `400`: price_below_minimum — The price is below the smallest single payment for a method (`detail.method`, `detail.minimum`), or has a part of a cent. Set `credit_only`, raise the price, or drop the method.
- `401`: dpop_invalid — The token is bound to a key and the DPoP proof was missing, wrong for this request, or already used.
- `402`: payment_failed — The payer's bank or card refused. `detail.reason` says why in plain terms.
- `403`: agent_payment_over_max — The merchant asks for more than `max_amount`. Nothing was signed. `detail.asked_minor` is the lowest price asked, in US cents.
- `404`: not_found — No such object in this project — including one that belongs to somebody else.
- `409`: token_not_issued — A delegated payment token could not be issued ready to use, for instance because the payer would have to act. Nothing was sent to the merchant.
- `429`: too_many_waiters — This key already has as many requests waiting (`?wait=`) as it may. Let one finish, or read without wait.
- `500`: internal_error — Ours. Quote the `request_id` and we can find the call.
- `502`: platform_error — A provider failed. Safe to retry with the same Idempotency-Key.
- `503`: oauth_unavailable — The authorisation server's keys could not be read, so tokens cannot be checked. API keys still work.
