Payment Method Used in the Subscribe SOAP API Call

This article explains the payment method used in the SOAP API subscribe() call, including scenarios with and without the Hosted Payment Method page.

This article describes what payment method is used to pay invoices in the SOAP API subscribe() call.

The following scenarios will be introduced on condition that the Owner Transfer feature is enabled:

  • Make a subscribe() call on a new account without specifying the Hosted Payment Method page

  • Make a subscribe() call on an existing account without specifying the Hosted Payment Method page

  • Make a subscribe() call with the Hosted Payment Method page either on a new account or an existing account

Subscribe Call with the Hosted Payment Method Page

If you specify the Hosted Payment Method page's payment method in the subscribe() call, Zuora associates this payment method with the subscription owner account. This payment method of the subscription owner account is used to pay invoices regardless of the invoice owner account and all the other payment methods.
