Overview

This document provides information on the changes made to the Chargebee Public APIs for specifying payment terms (Net D) at the subscription level.

The Net D feature helps define the number of days within which a closed invoice must be paid. Net D can be defined at the customer level so that all the customer’s invoices follow this setting.

With this new feature, you can define Net D for any subscription so that all its invoices follow the defined setting.

Change Summary

Subscription resource

New attribute added

Name

Description

net_term_days

integer optional
The Net D value explicitly set for this subscription. Net D is the number of days within which any invoice raised for the subscription must be paid. When an invoice is raised, and this value is unavailable, the net_term_days defined at the customer level is considered.

Subscription endpoints

Create a subscription for items

post https://{site}.chargebee.com/api/v2/customers/{customer_id}/subscription_for_items

New body parameter added

Name

Description

net_term_days

integer optional
Defines Net D for the subscription. Net D is the number of days within which any invoice raised for the subscription must be paid.

  • If a value is provided: Net D is set explicitly for the subscription to the value provided. The value must be one among those defined in the site configuration.

  • If not provided: The attribute is not set and therefore not returned by the API. In this case, when an invoice is raised – whether now or later – the net_term_days defined at the customer level is considered.
