Subscriptions
Creating Pending Subscriptions in Orders
The Orders feature has been enhanced to support creating pending subscriptions via the "Create order" REST API operation. You can create a new subscription of either a Pending Activation, Pending Acceptance, or Active status, depending on your Billing Trigger Dates and Triggering Condition settings. The order that contains the pending subscription will also be in the Pending status.
Additionally, when creating a new subscription using the “Create order” REST API operation, if a charge has its Triggering Condition set to Upon a Specific Date, you do not have to specify the charge’s Specific Trigger Date. In this case, Zuora creates a pending subscription.
See Pending Order and Subscription for more information.
Payments
R223.1 Support Integration with the Amazon Pay Gateway
Zuora now partners with the Amazon Pay gateway to provide a gateway integration for credit card reference (CCRef) transaction processing. Before using this gateway for CCRef transactions, you must activate the Amazon Pay for your tenant, create and configure an Amazon Pay gateway instance.
