Customer accounts creation
This topic explains about creating customer accounts in Zuora, add bill-to contacts, and set a default payment method. Note limitations on account names and VAT ID usage.
You can create a customer account from the Zuora application, and add bill-to contacts and a default payment method.
Path separators cannot be contained in account names. UTF-8 4-byte characters are not supported in account names or bill-to contacts' first and last names.
Use SOAP or REST APIs to Create Customer Accounts
See SOAP API Account object.
See REST API Create Account method.
Using a VAT ID
If you are using Avalara, you can specify a European Union Value Added Tax identification number for a customer account. To add an EU VAT ID to a customer account, enter an identification number in the VAT ID field when you create the customer account.
