# Subscription Account Pane

The customer account details. The subscription is associated with one account and that account cannot be changed. Other parameters such as payment method can be edited.

| Field | Guidance | Relevancy |
| - | - | - |
| **Create/Edit View** | | |
| **Name** | Customer’s full name—typically corresponds to the name associated with the payment method on the account. | Read only |
| **ID** | Your unique identifier for this customer such as the database ID. The ID is a string of up to 1024 bytes with digits, characters and special symbols support such as [anonymoususer1234@yourcompany.edu](mailto:anonymoususer1234@yourcompany.edu) Click the ID to access the associated account page. | N/A |
| **Subscription Bills** | The date of the month on which the subscription is (typically) billed. | Read only |
| **Payment Method** | The Payment Method responsible for payment of the subscription. Select from the drop-down menu. All payment methods for the account are listed. | Optional |
| **External ID** | An optional unique ID you can use in place of the merchantAccountId, or in conjunction with it by mapping the merchantAccountId to your merchant-facing Interface, and the externalId to your external billing system.**Tip:** Best Practice is to use this field when you have two external (non-Subscribe) systems using two different identification schemes for the same customer. Note that the externalId must be unique or null in the Vindicia system. Attempting to create an Account with an existing externalId will return a Failed response to an update Account API call with no specific error. | Optional |
| **Entitled Through** | The date through which the subscription is currently entitled (providing service). This is typically updated after each successful billing event. | Read Only |
| **Email Before Billing** | Indicates whether to send pre-billing notifications to the customer prior to automatic subscription-period renewal. This is a read-only field as based on input in the Account.**Note:** This setting only affects Subscribe pre-billing notifications. Other notifications such as Success, Expiration, and failure messages, are independent of this setting. | Read Only |
