Businesses

Businesses are sub-entities of customers. They store information like company number, tax number, and invoicing contacts that you need when working with a business rather than an individual.

Each customer has its own businesses. They’re not shared across customers.

You can optionally add a business to an invoice to bill for products. Paddle may use information against a business on an invoice for tax calculation purposes.

Work with businesses

Using the Paddle Invoice API, you can:

• List businesses
• Create a new business
• Get a single business
• Update an existing business

Archive businesses

You can’t delete businesses, but you can archive them to say you no longer need them. Archived businesses can’t be used in Paddle and aren’t returned by default when you query the list endpoint.

To archive a business, use the update business method:

{
  "status": "archived"
}
