Getting Started with Maxio Advanced Billing

Introduction

Maxio Advanced Billing (formerly Chargify) provides an HTTP-based API that conforms to the principles of REST. One of the many reasons to use Advanced Billing is the immense feature set and surrounding community client libraries. The Maxio API returns JSON responses as the primary and recommended format, but XML is also provided as a backwards compatible option for Merchants who require it.

Steps to make your first Maxio Advanced Billing API call

1. Sign-up or log-in to your test site account.
2. Setup and configure authentication credentials.
3. Submit your API request and try it out.
4. Verify results through response.
5. Test our integrations.

We strongly suggest exploring the developer portal, our integrations and the API guide, as well as the entire set of application-based documentation to aid in your discovery of the product.
