Businesses store information that you need when working with a business rather than an individual. They're always created against a customer entity.
You can create as many addresses as you like against a customer — useful for billing companies with different legal entities.
Businesses hold information like:
- What the company is called.
- Company number and tax number.
- Who should receive invoices at the company.
Customers, addresses, and businesses work with checkouts, transactions, and subscriptions to let customers purchase products and prices.
Customers don't need a business to make a purchase. You only need one when working with a business.
There's no delete operation for businesses. Use the update a business operation to archive businesses when you no longer need them. To learn more, see Delete entities
