Can I use software like SOAPUI to manually generate purchases and create customers?
SOAP-compatible software, such as SOAPUI, can be used to work with CloudBilling. However, we recommend creating purchases manually in CloudBilling or uploading Excel imports for ease of use and accuracy. Using the API is advised to be done on test environments first and only by technically-advanced users.
While our API provides advanced capabilities for integrating with CloudBilling, it is important to note that it requires a certain level of technical expertise to use. Therefore, we recommend that only technically-advanced users use the API, and that they do so on test environments first before implementing it in a production environment.
Why is the time of my purchase different from what I indicated in API request?
Please note that the time zone of the CloudBilling environment may differ from your user time zone. If this is the case, you can adjust for the time difference by using a specific datetime format in your request.
The datetime format must adhere to the following structure: “yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss Z”, where “Z” denotes the time offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with the local time zone. The format elements are defined as follows:
- yyyy: Four-digit year
- MM: Two-digit month (01-12)
- dd: Two-digit day of the month (01-31)
- T: Literal character ‘T’ separating the date and time components
- HH: Two-digit hour in 24-hour format (00-23)
- mm: Two-digit minutes (00-59)
- ss: Two-digit seconds (00-59)
- Z: Time zone offset in the format “+HH:mm” or “-HH:mm”, where “HH” represents the hours and “mm” represents the minutes added to or subtracted from UTC to reflect the local time zone
It is crucial to ensure that the hours added or subtracted from UTC are accurate and consistent with the local observance of Daylight Saving Time (DST).
By utilizing this specific datetime format in your requests, you can ensure that the recorded time in CloudBilling is accurate and consistent, irrespective of any time zone differences.
