Billing preference is primarily used for subscription billing. It captures the organizational policies or customer preferences to generate the billing schedules properly. It contains settings so that the recurring billing schedules are generated properly and the fee amounts are computed correctly.
You must be able to update, delete, or inactive the existing billing preferences. You can also fetch all or specific billing preferences per your need.
