Endpoints for Account related operations such as creation, update, list and delete. An Account represents one of your end-customer accounts. Accounts do not belong to a Product to allow for cases where an end customer takes more than one of your Products, and the charges for these Products differ. You typically attach a priced Plan or Plan Template to an Account before you can generate bills for the Account:
  • If a customer consumes several of your Products, you can attach a priced Plan or Plan Template to the Account for charging against each Product.
  • If an Account is charged solely on the basis of an agreed Prepayment/Commitment amount but not all of the Prepayment is prepaid, you can use a customized billing schedule for outstanding fees without having to attach a Plan to the Account to generate Bills.
You can create Child Accounts for end customers who hold multiple Accounts with you. You can then set up billing for the Parent/Child Account usage to have the end-customer billed once for the Parent Account, instead of having separate bills issued for usage against each of their multiple Accounts. IMPORTANT! - use of PII: The use of any of your end-customers’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in m3ter is restricted to a few fields on the Account entity. Please ensure that only the name, address, or emailAddress fields contain any end-customer PII data on any Accounts you create. See the Introduction section above for more details.
