Enables Billing Portal access for a customer, with an option to send an invitation email at the same time.

Billing Portal Documentation

Full documentation on how the Billing Portal operates within the Advanced Billing UI can be located here.

This documentation is focused on how to configure the Billing Portal Settings, as well as Subscriber Interaction and Merchant Management of the Billing Portal.

You can use this endpoint to enable Billing Portal access for a Customer, with the option of sending the Customer an Invitation email at the same time.

Billing Portal Security

If your customer has been invited to the Billing Portal, then they will receive a link to manage their subscription (the “Management URL”) automatically at the bottom of their statements, invoices, and receipts. This link changes periodically for security and is only valid for 65 days.

If you need to provide your customer their Management URL through other means, you can retrieve it via the API. Because the URL is cryptographically signed with a timestamp, it is not possible for merchants to generate the URL without requesting it from Advanced Billing.

In order to prevent abuse & overuse, we ask that you request a new URL only when absolutely necessary. Management URLs are good for 65 days, so you should re-use a previously generated one as much as possible. If you use the URL frequently (such as to display on your website), do not make an API request to Advanced Billing every time.
