THE LEADER IN SUBSCRIPTION BILLING & PAYMENT SOLUTIONS

Z-Commerce Platform: The First Commerce Platform for Cloud Developers

Is 2009 the year that developers move into the Cloud? Are you a Java, Ruby, Force.com, or Facebook developer building an application in the Cloud? Have you leveraged technical cloud services from Amazon Web Services, Google AppEngine, or salesforce.com's Force.com platform? Have you built an application on Facebook? Now that you're developing in the Cloud you're starting to wonder — how will you get paid in the cloud?

Monetizing and operationalizing a cloud service shouldn't be so hard. If you're developing in the Cloud, why build and install your own billing infrastructure? If you’re building a Facebook application, why limit yourself to just advertising revenue? Just as you can get storage from Amazon as a service, or run an application engine from Google as a service, why not get access to billing as a service through a bunch of web service calls?

Introducing the Z-Commerce Platform: the first open platform that makes it easy for developers to monetize Cloud Computing services. The Z-Commerce Platform provides a full commerce-as-a-service solution that lets developers plug in billing, payment, and subscription management services with just a few lines of code — and start getting paid.

Z-COMMERCE PLATFORM BENEFITS

With the Z-Commerce Platform developers get full access to all the power of Z-Billing 2.0, Z-Payments 2.0, and Z-Force, a development sandbox environment, online API documentation, sample code and toolkits to get started quickly, and the Zuora Developer Network site with forums and full developer support.

Get paid for what you build

If you really want to build a subscription billing and recurring payment solution, check out our careers page — we're looking for great engineers. But if you'd rather focus on building, launching, and growing your own business, then use the Z-Commerce Platform and start collecting payments quickly.

Open standards platform

Java developer? Force.com developer? Ruby developer? Facebook developer? Whatever your flavor, anyone can use the Z-Commerce Platform to add billing, payments, and subscriptions as services to your applications.

Full access to Z-Billing, Z-Payments, and Z-Force

Z-Commerce is the platform that powers Zuora's award-winning billing and payment applications. With the Z-Commerce Platform, any developer can directly create, read, update or delete any object, including invoices, payments, subscriptions, amendments, and more.
