Create a Collection ID

A Collection is the container that groups your bills — each Collection has its own payment method settings, Split Rules, and a unique Collection ID. You'll need that ID in API calls when creating bills, as every bill must be linked to a collection. This article shows you how to create a collection and retrieve its ID.

Before you begin

• Your Billplz account must be verified and active.
• If you're testing your integration, create a collection in your sandbox account first. See Create a sandbox account.

Step 1: Go to Collection

In the left navigation of your Billplz dashboard, click Collection.

Step 2: Create a collection

Click Create Collection in the top right corner. Enter a name for this collection and click Submit.

Step 3: Copy your Collection ID

Your new collection appears in the list. The Collection ID is displayed below the collection name (e.g., hywrw83r). Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.

Use this Collection ID in your API calls when creating bills. Pass it as the collection_id parameter.
