Create a recipient

Creates a recipient profile to which payments can be sent. A recipient is the individual or business receiving payments. Before paying out to a recipient, you must first create a recipient profile, either as a separate process or at the same time as the payout request.

Note

For the payout provider Interchecks, if you pass a value for one of the recipientIdNumbers parameters when creating a new recipient, you cannot update any recipient information with Update recipient endpoint.
