Vendor created notification payloads

When you subscribe to the vendor.created event, BILL sends a notification when a vendor is created.

Any vendor can be enrolled to accept vendor cards

A vendor can be enrolled to accept virtual card payments even without being connected in the BILL network. In a vendor.created payload, the networkStatus can be NOT_CONNECTED, but the vendor virtual card status can be set as ENROLLED.

See Virtual card FAQ in the BILL Help Center for more information.
