How can I create customers from the front end?

Shopify Discussion

Hi,

I see that it’s possible to create customers through and API https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/2022-01/resources/customer#[post]/admin/api/2022-01/customers.json .

But the documentation is only for Node.js and PHP.

Can I some code for the front end in order to create a customer?

Thank you

I tried this request format but I’m receiving a CORS error:

fetch("https://SHOP.myshopify.com/admin/api/2022-01/customers.json", {
   method: 'GET',
   headers: {
     "Content-Type": "application/json",
     "X-Shopify-Access-Token": "KEY"
   }
})
.then( resp =>{
  console.log(resp)
});

I found out that front end calls directly won’t work on the ADMIN API https://community.shopify.com/topic/502781 .

There should be a backend app built for this?

I also saw something about proxies. How would that work?
