This is a beta endpoint. We may make backwards incompatible changes.
This endpoint allows you to create a provider record with the details required for transaction enrollment. All providers you create through this endpoint are also available on the Providers page in Stedi for you to review and manage.

​
Contacts

You can add one or more contacts to a provider record. When creating an enrollment request in Stedi, you must select one of these contacts as the primary contact. However, if you plan to add enrollments through the Create Enrollment endpoint, you can provide the primary contact in that request instead. The payer may reach out to the designated contact with updates or questions about the enrollment. If you’re a provider, this should be your information. If you’re a vendor representing a provider, you can submit your contact information instead of the provider’s information.
