Customers

Represents a customer. Subscriptions, Card and Billing Address are associated with the customer resource. Customer resource will be created along with subscription via "Create a Subscription" API. The id of the customer will be same as that of associated subscription id if not explicitly set.

The Billing Address is significant especially when EU VAT taxes are involved, for tax calculations will be based on this address. For customers without Billing Address, EU VAT taxes will not be included. Thus ensure to set this properly if you have configured EU VAT Tax.

Note: For the customers who signed up before 1st Mar 2014, Customer's Billing Address and 'vat_number' will be replaced automatically whenever the associated Card gets updated. i.e existing values for Billing Address and 'vat_number' will be cleared and the new values will be set. This behaviour is changed now - The VAT Number should always be passed along Billing Address and not with Card address. Both the addresses have to be dealt separately.

Create a customer

Idempotency Supported
Note: This operation optionally supports 3DS verification flow. To achieve the same, create the Payment Intent and pass it as input parameter to this API.

Creates a customer. You can create a customer and then create subscriptions for the customer when required. When creating a customer, you can pass along the billing address and card details.

Passing credit card details to through the API involves PCI liability at your end as sensitive card information passes through your servers. If you wish to avoid that, you can use one of the following integration methodologies if applicable:

  • If you use Stripe, you can also use Stripe.js with your checkout form, to collect card information.
  • If you are using Braintree gateway, you can use Braintree.js with your checkout form.
  • You can also use our Hosted Pages based integration.

The Billing Address is significant especially when EU VAT taxes are involved, for tax calculations will be based on this address. For customers without a billing address, EU VAT taxes will not be included. Thus ensure to set this properly if you have configured EU VAT Tax.

Billing Address attributes shall be explicitly passed for customers paying offline(Cash, Check, Bank Transfer etc).

Note: When an invoice is generated for a customer, the billing address provided for the customer will be stored with the invoice. If the First Name, Last Name, and Company fields do not contain any information under Billing Info, the same will be picked from Customer Details if the same is available there.

Update payment method for a customer

Idempotency Supported

Updates payment method details for a customer.

Note: If you wish to pass the card number, CVV, or the single-use card tokens provided by gateways like Stripe, then use the Update card for a customer API under Cards resource. This API is not supported for Chargebee Test Gateway, which is provided to help you understand the billing workflow in Chargebee.

PayPal Express Checkout
You can use this API if you are directly integrating PayPal Express Checkout in your website instead of using Chargebee's hosted pages. When your customer updates his payment method using PayPal Express Checkout, you will be provided with the Billing Agreement ID by PayPal. You can update the payment method for that customer in Chargebee by passing type as paypal_express_checkout and reference_id with the Billing Agreement ID.

Login and Pay with Amazon
You can use this API if you are directly integrating Login and Pay with Amazon in your website instead of using Chargebee's hosted pages. When your customer updates Amazon as a payment method, you will be provided with the Billing Agreement ID by Amazon. You can update the payment method for that customer in Chargebee by passing type as amazon_payments and reference_id with the Billing Agreement ID.

Card Payments
When the card details of your customer are stored in the vault of gateways such as Stripe or Braintree, you can use this API to update the reference id provided by them in Chargebee. To use this API, pass

  • type as card.
  • gateway with the gateway associated with the card. If the gateway is not specified, the default gateway will be used.
  • reference_id with the identifier provided by the gateway/Spreedly to reference that specific card.

Reference id format for Card Payments
The format of reference_id will differ based on where the card is stored.
Stripe: In case of Stripe, the reference_id consists of combination of Stripe Customer ID and Stripe Card ID separated by forward slash (e.g. cus_63MnDn0t6kfDW7/card_6WjCF20vT9WN1G). If you are passing Stripe Customer ID alone, then Chargebee will store the card marked as active for that customer in Stripe.
Braintree: In case of Braintree, the reference_id consists of combination of Braintree Customer ID and Braintree Payment Method Token separated by forward slash (e.g. cus_63MnDn0t6kfDW7/card_6WjCF20vT9WN1G). If you are passing Braintree Customer ID alone, then Chargebee will store the card marked as default for that customer in Braintree.
Spreedly Card vault: If the card details are stored in Spreedly vault, then you need to provide the Spreedly token as reference_id.

Direct Debit Payments
When the bank account details of your customer is stored in the vault of Authorize.Net, you can use this API to update the reference id provided by them in Chargebee. To use this API, pass

  • type as direct_debit.
  • gateway with the gateway where the bank account details are stored (e.g. authorize_net). If the gateway is not specified, the gateway supporting the direct debit will be used.
  • reference_id with the identifier provided by the gateway to reference the customer's bank account details.

Reference id format for Direct Debit Payments
The reference_id consists of combination of Authorize.Net's Customer Profile ID and Payment Profile ID separated by forward slash (e.g. 2384383/34834382). If you are passing Authorize.Net's Customer Profile ID alone, then Chargebee will store the first bank account details present in payment profile list of that customer in Authorize.Net.

Note: While using this API to update payment method details, Card Verification will not happen even if it is enabled for that particular gateway.

Notes

Storing card after successful 3DS flow not supported in this API. Use create using Payment Intent API under Payment source to store the card after successful 3DS flow completion.

Update billing info for a customer

Idempotency Supported

This method is used for updating the 'Billing Info' - the Billing Address and 'vat_number' attributes - of the customer. For updating the other customer attributes use our Update Customer API.

During this operation if Billing Info(Billing Address and vat_number) is not already present it will get added. Whereas if it is present already, the existing values will be replaced. i.e existing values for Billing Address and vat_number will be cleared and the new values will be set.

Note: When an invoice is generated for a customer, the billing address provided for the customer will be stored with the invoice. If the First Name, Last Name, and Company fields do not contain any information under Billing Info, the same will be picked from Customer Details if the same is available there.
