### Step 1: Register the customer organization

```bash
curl -X POST \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_PARTNER_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{\n    "org_name": "Acme Corp",\n    "org_email": "admin@acmecorp.com",\n    "user_emails": ["admin@acmecorp.com"],\n    "user_names": ["Admin User"]\n  }' \
  https://api.archera.ai/v2/partners/{partner_org_id}/orgs
```

**Save from response:** `child_org_id`

### Step 2: Get AWS CloudFormation launch URL

```bash
curl -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_PARTNER_API_KEY' \
  https://api.archera.ai/v2/org/{child_org_id}/partners/onboarding/aws/launch-stack-url
```

**Send the returned URL to your customer** to deploy the CloudFormation stack in their AWS account.
