Create Metadata
Built with APIMatic
Advanced Billing Developer Portalv1.0Advanced Billing Developer Portalv1.0Creates metadata and metafields for a specific subscription or customer, or updates metadata values of existing metafields for a subscription or customer. Metadata values are limited to 2 KB in size.
If you create metadata on a subscription or customer with a metafield that does not already exist, the metafield is created with the metadata you specify and it is always added as a text field. You can update the input_type for the metafield with the Update Metafield endpoint.
Note: Each site is limited to 100 unique metafields per resource. This means you can have 100 metafields for Subscriptions and another 100 for Customers.
