Orders and Subscriptions

Automated Price Change for Renewed Subscriptions

If you are an existing Zuora Subscribe and Amend customer, we recommend you enable Orders Harmonization to access the Orders feature. With Orders, you can access both existing functions for subscription and billing management and the new features on Zuora Billing.

Support for the Automated Price Change (Uplift) for Renewed Subscriptions feature in Orders has now been enhanced. You can modify the PriceChangeOption and PriceIncreasePercentage fields when updating Rate Plan Charges through the Zuora UI or API. Previously, you could only update these fields using the "Create Order" API operation. 

Billing

New Billing Permission for Billing Run Creation

A new Billing user permission called "Do bill runs for multiple accounts" controls whether to create bill runs for multiple customer accounts. By default, this user permission is enabled. 

If this user permission is disabled, you can only create bill runs for a single customer account through the Zuora UI and API. The Multiple Customer Accounts tab is not available on the New Bill Run page or the "New Scheduled or Recurring Bill Run" page.

See Billing Permissions for more information.

Payments

BlueSnap Account Updater Now Available

Zuora now supports the BlueSnap Account Updater. With this feature, you can automatically incorporate changes made to end customers’ Visa or MasterCard data into Zuora. The data includes the expiration date, new card number, account closure, and brand migration.
