Use `/payment_profile/create` endpoint to create a new payment profile.
To initiate the account linking experience, call `/link/token/create` and provide the `payment_profile_token` in the `transfer.payment_profile_token` field.
You can then use the `payment_profile_token` when creating transfers using `/transfer/authorization/create` and `/transfer/create`.
