Create a payment run

Creates a payment run. You can create a payment run to be executed immediately after it is created, or a scheduled payment run to be executed in future.

To filter the payments to be collected for a payment run, you can use either of the following methods but not both:

  • Use the accountId, batch, billCycleDay, currency, paymentGatewayId, and billingRunId fields to define the billing documents to be collected.
  • Use the data field to specify the records of accounts and billing documents to be collected, in a more flexible manner. See Create custom payment runs through Zuora REST API for more information.

If no filter criteria are specified in the request body, the payment run collects payments for all accounts.

Request
header Parameters
Idempotency-Key
string <= 255 characters

Specify a unique idempotency key if you want to perform an idempotent POST or PATCH request. Do not use this header in other request types.

With this header specified, the Zuora server can identify subsequent retries of the same request using this value, which prevents the same operation from being performed multiple times by accident.

Accept-Encoding
string

Include the Accept-Encoding: gzip header to compress responses as a gzipped file. It can significantly reduce the bandwidth required for a response.

If specified, Zuora automatically compresses responses that contain over 1000 bytes of data, and the response contains a Content-Encoding header with the compression algorithm so that your client can decompress it.

Content-Encoding
string

Include the Content-Encoding: gzip header to compress a request. With this header specified, you should upload a gzipped file for the request payload instead of sending the JSON payload.

Authorization
string

The value is in the Bearer {token} format where {token} is a valid OAuth token generated by calling Create an OAuth token.

Zuora-Track-Id
string <= 64 characters

A custom identifier for tracing the API call. If you set a value for this header, Zuora returns the same value in the response headers. This header enables you to associate your system process identifiers with Zuora API calls, to assist with troubleshooting in the event of an issue.

The value of this field must use the US-ASCII character set and must not include any of the following characters: colon (:), semicolon (;), double quote ("), and quote (').

Zuora-Entity-Ids
string

An entity ID. If you have Zuora Multi-entity enabled and the OAuth token is valid for more than one entity, you must use this header to specify which entity to perform the operation in. If the OAuth token is only valid for a single entity, or you do not have Zuora Multi-entity enabled, you should not set this header.

Zuora-Org-Ids
string

Comma separated IDs. If you have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you can use this header to specify which orgs to perform the operation in. If you do not have Zuora Multi-Org enabled, you should not set this header.

The IDs must be a sub-set of the user's accessible orgs. If you specify an org that the user does not have access to, the operation fails.

If the header is not set, the operation is performed in scope of the user's accessible orgs.

Request Body schema: application/json
required
accountId
string <uuid>

The ID of the customer account associated with the payment run.

This field conflicts with each of the batch, billCycleDay, currency, paymentGatewayId, and billingRunId fields. If there are such conflicts, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

applyCreditBalance
boolean

If applyCreditBalance is true, the credit memo or unapplied payment on the order account will be automatically applied to the invoices generated by this order. The credit memo generated by this order will not be automatically applied to any invoices.

autoApplyCreditMemo
boolean

Note: This field is only available if you have Invoice Settlement enabled. The Invoice Settlement feature is generally available as of Zuora Billing Release 296 (March 2021). This feature includes Unapplied Payments, Credit and Debit Memo, and Invoice Item Settlement. If you want to enable Invoice Settlement, see Invoice Settlement Enablement and Checklist Guide for more information.

Whether to automatically apply a posted credit memo to one or more receivables in the payment run.

If you want to enable Invoice Settlement, see Invoice Settlement Enablement and Checklist Guide for more information.

Whether to automatically apply unapplied payments to one or more receivables in the payment run.

batch
string

The alias name given to a batch. The batch name is a string of 50 characters or less.

This field conflicts with the accountId field. If they are both specified in the request body, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

Note: By default, you have 50 configurable account batches. To increase the limit to 200 batches, you must have the Performance Booster Elite package.

billCycleDay
string

The billing cycle day (BCD), the day of the month when a bill run generates invoices for the account. The value must be equal to or less then 31, and 31 is mean the EOM.

This field conflicts with the accountId field. If they are both specified in the request body, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

billingRunId
string <uuid>

The ID of a bill run.

This field conflicts with the accountId field. If they are both specified in the request body, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

collectPayment
boolean

Whether to process electronic payments during the execution of payment runs.

If the Payment user permission "Process Electronic Payment" is disabled, this field will be ignored.

consolidatedPayment
boolean

Note: The Process Electronic Payment permission also needs to be allowed for a Manage Payment Runs role to work. See Payments Roles for more information.

Whether to process a single payment for all receivables that are due on an account.

currency
string

A currency defined in the web-based UI administrative settings.

This field conflicts with the accountId field. If they are both specified in the request body, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

Array of objects (payment run data)

The array of data for specifying records of accounts and invoices/debit memos that will be collected and processed by a payment run.

When you specify the data array, ensure that at least one record is passed in. If an empty array is specified, accountId, batch, billCycleDay, currency, paymentGatewayId, and billingRunId fields will be used to define the billing documents to be collected. If the Multiple Currencies feature is enabled, you can filter the accounts by currency based on the customer's billing document.

A maximum of 50K records are allowed to be passed into the data array.

Here is an example:

  {
    "accountId": "60c81b5bc51649e8a7d1b48303194790",
    "documentId": "2c9081a03c63c94c013c6894af5602dd",
    "documentType": "Invoice",
    "amount": 80,
    "paymentMethodId": "2c9081a03c6d7b51013c6d7e4ada0a1c",
    "paymentGatewayId": "d2abe8342e1811ea80e774b9452e17ea",
    "comment": "Payment Comments",
    "customField1__c": "cf_value1",
    "customField2__c": "cf_value2"
  }

Here is another example for a standalone payment:

  {
    "accountId": "account2",
    "amount": 100,
    "currency": "GBP",
    "standalone": true
  }
Array of objects

The organizations that the run is created for.

For each item in the array, either the organizationId or the organizationName field is required.

This field is only required when you have already turned on Multi-Org feature.

paymentGatewayId
string <uuid>

The ID of the gateway instance that processes the payment.

This field conflicts with the accountId field. If they are both specified in the request body, an error occurs and an error message is returned.

processPaymentWithClosedPM
boolean

Note: The Process Electronic Payment permission also needs to be allowed for a Manage Payment Runs role to work. See Payments Roles for more information.

Whether to process payments even if the default payment method is closed.

runDate
string <date-time>

The date and time when the scheduled payment run is to be executed, in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format. The backend will ignore mintues and seconds in the field value. For example, if you specify 2017-03-01 11:30:37 for this value, this payment run will be run at 2017-03-01 11:00:00.

You must specify either the runDate field or the targetDate field in the request body. If you specify the runDate field, the scheduced payment run is to be executed on the run date. If you specify the targetDate field, the payment run is executed immediately after it is created.

targetDate
string <date>

The target date used to determine which receivables to be paid in the payment run. The payments are collected for all receivables with the due date no later than the target date.

You must specify either the runDate field or the targetDate field in the request body. If you specify the runDate field, the scheduced payment run is to be executed on the run date. If you specify the targetDate field, the payment run is executed immediately after it is created.
