In this post I am going to explain how to create customer programmatically in magento 2.

1. Using Dependency Injection

Add below code snippet in Block class.

protected $storeManager;
protected $customerFactory;

public function __construct(
	\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Context $context,
	\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
	\Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory $customerFactory,
	array $data = []
) {
	$this->storeManager = $storeManager;
	$this->customerFactory = $customerFactory;
	parent::__construct($context, $data);
}

public function addCustomer($firstName, $lastName, $email, $password) 
{
	$store = $this->storeManager->getStore();
	$websiteId = $this->storeManager->getWebsite()->getWebsiteId();

	$customer = $this->customerFactory->create();
	
	// Set website ID
	$customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);
	
	// Set Store
	$customer->setStore($store);

	// Check if customer is already exists
	if ($customer->loadByEmail($email)->getId()) {
		return __('There is already an account with this email address "%1".', $email);
	} else {
		$customer->setEmail($email);
		$customer->setFirstname($firstName);
		$customer->setLastname($lastName);
		$customer->setPassword($password);
		$customer->setForceConfirmed(true);

		// Save customer data
		$customer->save();

		// Send email
		$customer->sendNewAccountEmail();

		return __('Customer account with email %1 created successfully.', $email);
	}
}

2. Using Object Manager

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');

$websiteId = $storeManager->getStore()->getWebsiteId();
$store = $storeManager->getStore();

$firstName = 'John';
$lastName = 'Doe';
$email = '[email protected]';
$password = 'John@1234';

$customer = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Customer\Model\CustomerFactory')->create();

// Set website ID
$customer->setWebsiteId($websiteId);

// Set Store
$customer->setStore($store);

// Check if customer is already exists
if ($customer->loadByEmail($email)->getId()) {
    echo 'Customer with email ' . $email . ' is already registered.';
} else {
    $customer->setEmail($email);
    $customer->setFirstname($firstName);
    $customer->setLastname($lastName);
    $customer->setPassword($password);
    $customer->setForceConfirmed(true);

    // Save customer data
    $customer->save();

    // Send email
    $customer->sendNewAccountEmail();

    echo 'Customer with the email ' . $email . ' is successfully created.';
}

Note: After creating customer you need to run indexer command to see a customer in the backend grid.

php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:flush

That’s it. Enjoy Magento 2!!
