How to set billing account via API?

[Vladimir Tatarsky]

I've asked this question on Advertiser Community forum already:

https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Billing/How-to-set-billing-account-via-API/td-p/604140#

So yeah, we want to set billing account for every customer via API.

I mean exactly this part: 

So I'm able to get that account's information through BudgetOrderService -> getBillingAccounts() function. (We have only one billing account and hundreds of customers.)

Documentation is saying that Billing Account could be used only in some BudgetOrder, but that seem to be not my case. I want just attach BillingAccount to a customer like on the pictures above.

There's no way to do it?

Hi Vladimir,

Unfortunately, you cannot create or edit billing accounts using the API. Please refer to the "Terminology -> Billing Account" section of this guide.

Hi Vishal, thank you for the response.

Yes, I understand that. I don't want to create/edit my Billing Account, but just attach it to the customer so our staff wouldn't have to do that manually/

Is that possible via API?

Hi Vladimir,

Unfortunately, that is not possible via the API. Once a billing account is created against a client customer ID, it cannot be detached (i.e. edited) to be linked to another client via the API. Hope this information helps! Please feel free to revert in case you have more questions.
