The createMember API call is used to create a free or paid member on your membership site. It can also be used to change an existing member's membership level. If the email address passed is associated with an existing member and the membership level ID passed is different than the one associated with their account, then MemberMouse will change their membership level and automatically cancel any active subscriptions associated with the current membership.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to pass raw credit card data using this API call, you will be exposed to a higher level of PCI compliance SAQ requirements (SAQ-D). It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance.
