Zuora Billing

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Zuora Billing credential, you need to obtain your Zuora API Base URL, Username, and Password from your Zuora account. Zuora Billing uses Basic Authentication for all API requests.

To obtain your Zuora Billing credentials, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Zuora account using your administrator credentials.

  2. Navigate to your Zuora account settings or API configuration in your Zuora dashboard.

  3. To obtain your Zuora API Base URL, identify your Zuora environment. The Base URL depends on your Zuora environment:

    • Production: https://rest.zuora.com
    • Sandbox: https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com
    • US Cloud: https://rest.zuora.com
    • US Central: https://rest.zuora.com
    • EU Cloud: https://rest.eu.zuora.com
    • US Performance Test: https://rest.test.zuora.com

  4. To obtain your Username and Password, these are your Zuora account credentials. If you need to create API-specific credentials, navigate to Settings > Users > API Users in your Zuora dashboard to create or manage API users.

  5. Store all credentials securely, as you will need them to configure your Nexla credential. The Password is sensitive information and should be kept confidential.

The Username and Password are used in Basic Authentication for all API requests to the Zuora Billing API. If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately change your password in your Zuora account settings. For detailed information about Zuora API authentication, API base URLs, and available endpoints, see the Zuora API documentation.

Credential Name & Description​

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

Basic Authentication​

Zuora Billing uses Basic Authentication for all API requests. The Username and Password are used to authenticate API requests.

  1. Enter your Zuora API Base URL in the Zuora API Base URL field. This should be the Base URL for your Zuora environment. The default value is https://rest.zuora.com for production environments. The Base URL determines which Zuora environment will be accessed. See https://www.zuora.com/developer/api-guides/ for details about different environment URLs.

  2. Enter your Username in the Username field. This should be your Zuora Username. The Username is used as the username in Basic Authentication for all API requests to the Zuora Billing API.

  3. Enter your Password in the Password field. This should be your Zuora Password. The Password is used as the password in Basic Authentication for all API requests to the Zuora Billing API. The Password is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

    Your Zuora Billing credentials (Base URL, Username, Password) can be found in your Zuora account settings. The Base URL depends on your Zuora environment (production, sandbox, etc.). The Username and Password are your Zuora account credentials, which are used in Basic Authentication for all API requests to the Zuora Billing API.

    If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately change your password in your Zuora account settings. The credentials provide access to your Zuora Billing account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Keep your credentials secure and do not share them publicly.

    For detailed information about Zuora API authentication, API base URLs, and available endpoints, see the Zuora API documentation.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
