Use allowlists to exclude specific customer attribute data from risk score checks.

Allowlists are lists of data that are excluded from risk score checks. Allowlists prevent specific data from being added to a blocklist record when a risk score threshold reached.

Use Anti-Money Laundering (AML) operations to screen customers and help prevent your business from becoming directly or indirectly involved in criminal activity.

Use AML operations during customer creation, and some transaction processing, to help determine if a potential customer (lead), or customer, has political or economic sanctions against them.

AML operations search the following for screening purposes: Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) lists, sanction lists, and adverse media lists.

Use API keys to identify and authenticate applications and users. Always keep your API keys private. When creating API keys, you can restrict them to a given set of permissions. For information on how to create and manage API keys, see API keys.

Use these operations to register applications to the Rebilly Apps Store and manage application instances. An application owner is a person or organization that has submitted an app to the Rebilly App Store. For more information, see Submit an app.

Use these operations to install or uninstall apps from the Rebilly App Store to your Rebilly account, and to manage application instances. An application user is a person or organization that uses an app that is installed from the Rebilly App Store. For more information, see Install or uninstall an app.

Use these operations to create and manage billing portals. Rebilly hosted billing portals provide secure, Rebilly hosted pages, where customers can: view invoices, cancel subscriptions, update payment instruments, and update their address.

Use blocklists to prevent fraud and criminal activity.

Blocklists are lists of customer attribute values that are blocked from buying from you. For example, if a customer attempts to make a purchase from you with a credit card that is in a blocklist, the transaction is blocked and is not processed.

Before a new transaction is processed in Rebilly, blocklists are examined to check for attributes related to the entity. If a match is detected, the operation is aborted. A blocklist that expires after a period of time is called a greylist.

Use broadcast messages to notify customers and leads about upcoming promotions, service updates, and events. Broadcast messages are emails that are sent to a specific group of customers, or all customers. For more information, see Create a broadcast message.

Use these operations to create and manage checkout forms. Rebilly hosted checkout forms provide secure and compliant checkouts. Checkout forms are customizable, and use fully responsive design, built-in error messaging, validation, and expedited checkout for returning customers.

Use coupons to reward customers, generate sales, or to test new pricing strategies. Coupons enable you to apply different types of discounts to invoices, subscriptions, and pricing plans.

Redeemed coupons are attached to a customer's account. Depending on the coupon restrictions, the redeemed coupons are then applied from the customer's account to subsequent invoices or subscriptions. Redeemed coupons can only be applied to invoices of the same currency.

Once a coupon is redeemed it cannot be modified. You may deactivate a coupon or create a new coupon, but you cannot reuse the same coupon code. If you have a use case where you must reuse the same code, contact Rebilly.

Use credit memos to provide a customer with store credit. A common use case for using a credit memo is to provide a customer with store credit, rather than a refund, if the customer pays more than they owe or returns a product. For information on the credit memo resource, see Resources.

Use credit memo timelines to maintain an audit trail of changes and activity for each credit memo. Credit memos are a means of providing a customer with store credit.

Use custom domains to configure and use your own domain for forms and billing portals, instead of the default Rebilly domain: portal.secure-payments.app. For more information, see Configure a custom domain.

Use custom fields to extend a resource scheme to include custom data that is not provided as a common field. Depending on the resource on which the custom field is added, it may be available in the Rebilly UI.

Example: A custom field called preferredCommunicationChannel is added to the customer resource. It has two allowed values, which are 'email' and 'phone'.

{
  "customFields": {
      "preferredCommunicationChannel": "email"
  }
}

For detailed information on Rebilly resources, see Resources.

Use these operations to validate the identity of users and manage authentication credentials.

Use these operations to manage customers. A customer is an entity that purchases goods or services from you (a merchant), and is the payee in any transaction that is credited to you. Customers are associated with payment instruments, subscriptions, invoices, and other related resources.

In other systems, customers may be referred to as accounts, clients, members, patrons, or players. For information on the customer resource, see Resources.

Use customer timelines to maintain an audit trail of changes and activity for each customer.

Use data export operations to manage the export of resource data, such as: transactions, customers, subscriptions, invoices, invoice item data, or revenue audit. Common data export use cases are: accounting, data analysis, reporting, or importing into other databases.

Important: These operations are experimental and may change.

Use these operations to manage disputes. A dispute occurs when a customer contests a charge to their account. The dispute and related information is made available to the merchant by the bank or credit card company. The merchant then has the option to represent the charge and win the case. This process is called dispute resolution. If the merchant is unable to represent the charge, the card issuer typically reverses the sale and adds fees on top of the charge. This process is called a chargeback.

Use email delivery settings to configure from which email address notifications and broadcast message are sent. In Rebilly, this email address is referred to as a "From address". Supported email service providers are: SMTP, Mailgun, SendGrid, AWS SES, Postmark, and Rebilly.

Use email messages to email customers directly.

Use email notifications to keep customers informed on events, and to inform them of events that may require action on their end. Email notifications are targeted email messages that can be plain text or HTML.

Email notifications can also be used to notify teammates about new customers, blocklist matches, risk score changes, and more. For more information, see Email notifications.

Use external identifier operations to associate entities such as customers, invoices, transactions, journal accounts, journal entries, and more with external services.

To use external identifiers, you must use an active service credential.

Use fees to reconcile transactions with applicable fees and discount rates. Fees are not applied directly to transaction amounts, they do not modify the transaction amount. Fees help to describe each part of the transaction amount.

Important: These operations are experimental and may change.

Use the file entity to store files and related metadata. Files can be sorted by size, MIME-type, user-defined tags, and description.

The following methods are available to upload files: multipart/form-data encoded form, RAW POST — by sending the file contents as the POST body, and fetching from URL — by providing the file URL using the 'url' parameter.

Use the attachments entity to link a file to one or multiple objects, such as: customer, dispute, transaction, order, plan, product, invoice, or timeline comment. Attachments enable you to quickly find and use files related to specific entities.

A merchant account is a bank account that enables businesses to receive payments. Use payment gateway accounts to connect payment requests to third party networks and platforms.

Use gateway account timelines to maintain an audit trail of changes and activity for each gateway account.

Use histograms operations to generate transaction histogram reports with cohorts and periods. For information on the invoice resource, see Resources.

Use these operations to manage third-party apps that are integrated to your Rebilly account. For more information on third-party apps, and how to integrate them, see App store.
