# Sign up for an account (/api/accounts/create-account)

`POST https://api.comecero.com/api/v1/accounts`

Creates a new Comecero account with its first user, who becomes the account owner. This is how someone signs up, so it needs no token. The response has a live trusted `token` for the owner, so they are signed in at once. The new account is not live: it can take test payments right away, and Comecero sets `live` once the account is approved. Default settings, a test gateway and a shipping method for the account's country are created with it.

Request body: the `account_create_request` schema.

Responses: 201, 400, 409, 500.
