We will investigate your use cases and data before enabling this feature for you. If you have the Orders feature enabled, you already have the Order Metrics feature enabled.
If you have the Order Metrics feature enabled prior to March 2018, you can submit a request at Zuora Global Support to migrate the Order Metrics to the latest version.

Payments
New REST API Operation to Scrub Sensitive Data Related to Payment Methods
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforced in May 2018 stipulates that the personally identifiable information (PII) of EU citizens must be stored in enterprises using pseudonymization or full anonymization. In compliance with GDPR, Zuora provides you with a new REST API operation called Scrub payment method to handle PII data. By using this API operation, you can replace all records related to a payment method with anonymized values that will be stored in Zuora databases. The sensitive data in the following Zuora business objects is anonymized:
- Payment Method
- Payment Method Snapshots
- Payment Transaction Log
- Payment Method Transaction Log
- Refund Transaction Log
- Payment Gateway Transaction Log
See Scrub Payment Methods for more information.
