API ReferenceCustomer sessions

Customer sessions

Issue short-lived access to the hosted customer portal.

Choose exactly one customer identifier. SellApp returns a 15-minute bearer token and a separate, single-use hosted redemption URL. Both plaintext credentials appear once, so store neither in logs and do not retry creation expecting a replay.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>
