How are you testing? OS? What is your `ionic info` output? Do the GET requests also use authentication? ---

Hi @sauravcd02 . Look at the customeData that you are posting. use postAsync function like this: ``` ` this.WooCommerce.postAsync('customers', customerData.customer).then( (data) => {})` ``` and the customer object is something like this: Define your customerData object like this but before the postAsync function ```auto let customerData = { customer : {} } customerData.customer = { "email": this.newUser.email, "first_name": this.newUser.first_name, "last_name": this.newUser.last_name, "password": this.newUser.password, "confirm_password": this.newUser.confirm_password, "state": this.newUser.state, "primary": this.newUser.primary, } ``` let me know if it’s work. Thanks! ---

Hello @Haroun could you please tell me how to use it within IONIC? ☹ ---

Yeah, you could use this code in Ionic also in angular if you want. Here is my whole code of register the user: ```auto signup(){ const run = this.loadCtrl.create({ content: 'Please wait...' }); run.present(); setTimeout(() => { if(this.newUser.password != this.newUser.confirm_password) { run.dismissAll(); this.toastCtrl.create({ message: "Passwords do not match.", showCloseButton: true }).present(); return; } let customerData = { customer : {} } customerData.customer = { "email": this.newUser.email, "first_name": this.newUser.first_name, "last_name": this.newUser.last_name, "password": this.newUser.password, "confirm_password": this.newUser.confirm_password, "state": this.newUser.state, "primary": this.newUser.primary, } this.WooCommerce.postAsync('customers', customerData.customer).then( (data) => { console.log(JSON.parse(data.body)); let response = (JSON.parse(data.body)) if(response.id){ run.dismissAll(); this.alertCtrl.create({ header: "Account Created", message: "Your account has been created successfully! Your Username is " + response.username + " .Please login to proceed.", buttons: [{ text: "Login", handler: ()=> { this.router.navigate(['/login']); } }] }).then((elementEl) => { elementEl.present(); }); } else if(response.message){ this.toastCtrl.create({ message: response.message, showCloseButton: true }).present(); } }, (err) => { run.dismissAll(); this.alertCtrl.create({ header: 'Something went wrong', message: 'Something went wrong. There is a problem with connecting to the server. Please check your internet connection, Thanks!', buttons: [{ text: 'Okay', handler: () => { this.router.navigate(['/home']); } }] }).then((elementEl) => { elementEl.present(); }); }) }, 2000) } ``` Hope this will help!
