Specify ship-to contacts

You can specify a Ship To contact for a customer account to facilitate comprehensive and flexible billing and logistics management. For example, when the Bill To entity differs from the shipping destination, you can use the Ship To contact to indicate where the goods should be delivered.

Support for Ship To contacts in Zuora CPQ will be added in a future release.

Prerequisites

  • You must turn on the Ship To Contact feature before specifying ship-to contacts for customer accounts. You can turn on this feature through the self-service interface for Feature Management. For more information, see Enable billing features by yourself.
  • You can specify Ship To contacts only for existing customer accounts in the Zuora UI. Alternatively, you can use the Create an account API operation to specify a Ship To contact when creating a customer account.

Procedure

To specify a Ship To contact for an existing customer account, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Customers > Customer Accounts in the left-hand navigation section and click the name of the specific customer account you want to update.
  2. Create a Ship To contact:
    1. Scroll down to the Contacts section and click Create. The Create Contact dialog opens.
    2. In the Allowed Contact Types section, select the Ship To checkbox.
      Only contacts with this checkbox selected can be specified as a Ship To contact. 
    3. Fill in the required information and click Save.
  3. In the Basic Information section on the account detail page, click Edit.
  4. From the Ship To list, select the contact you created in step 2.
  5. Click Save.

When you create a subscription, order line item, or standalone invoice for an account, the account’s Ship To contact is automatically set as the default Ship To contact for the subscription, order line item, or standalone invoice. However, you can update the Ship To contact afterwards if needed. See Specify ship-to contacts for subscriptions, order line items, and standalone invoices.
