Create Payment Recipient

POST https://{{env_url}}/payment_initiation/recipient/create

In the sandbox environment, you can use the /payment_initiation/recipient/create endpoint to generate recipients. Programmatic recipient creation in the development and production environments can be done after approval by our compliance team.

The endpoint is idempotent: if a developer has already made a request with the same payment details, Plaid will return the same recipient_id. Recipients are scoped per environment.
