POST /v1/payment-runs

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:

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

Servers

Request headers

Name Type Required Description
Content-Type String Yes The media type of the request body.

Default value: "application/json"

Content-Encoding String No

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.

Zuora-Track-Id String No

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 (').

Authorization String No

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

Idempotency-Key String No

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.

Zuora-Entity-Ids String No

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 do not need to set this header.

Zuora-Org-Ids String No

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.

Accept-Encoding String No

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.

Request body fields

Name Type Required Description
accountId String No

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.

paymentGatewayId String No

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.

billCycleDay String No

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.

currency String No

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.

targetDate String No

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.

billingRunId String No

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.

data[] Array No

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:

  {
