How To Integrate Zoho Subscription Using Asp.Net MVC

Introduction

In this article, I explain how to integrate Zoho subscriptions using the Zoho APIs in Asp.Net MVC, In this article, I create the Customer and plans for the subscriptions.

Step1: Create a simple web application in Asp.Net MVC

now create a new controller for this and give the name of this controller like ZohoController.

Step 2: now add the new NuGet package for the Zoho API.

open your package manager console and install the latest version of  Zoho API.

Install-Package Zoho.Api

Step 3: Now you need to get ZohoOrganizationID and ZohoAuthToken.

Login to the Zoho Invoice admin console. Click the drop-down with the organization’s name as theand click Manage Organizations.

Now you’ll be able to find Organization IDs for each of your organizations.

Step 5: Now you need to add ZohoOrganizationID and ZohoAuthToken on the web.config file for global use.

add below key on the web.config file.

<add key="ZohoOrganizationID" value="686788585" />
<add key="ZohoAuthToken" value="9d31f2e7a29b52b5ca5331f22c11e732" />

Step 6: Create the class (get set) for the Customer

Request

public class ZohoCustomersRequest
    {
        public string display_name { get; set; }
        public string first_name { get; set; }
        public string last_name { get; set; }
        public string email { get; set; }
        public string company_name { get; set; }
        public string phone { get; set; }
        public string website { get; set; }
        public Address billing_address { get; set; }
        public Address shipping_address { get; set; }
        public bool is_portal_enabled { get; set; }

    }
public class Address
    {
        public string street { get; set; }
        public string city { get; set; }
        public string state { get; set; }
        public string zip { get; set; }
        public string country { get; set; }
        public string address_id { get; set; }
        public string street2 { get; set; }
        public string fax { get; set; }
        public string state_code { get; set; }
        public string phone { get; set; }
        public string attention { get; set; }
    }

Response

public class ZohoCustomersResponse
    {
        public int code { get; set; }
        public string message { get; set; }
        public Customer customer { get; set; }
        public PageContext page_context { get; set; }
    }

Step 7: now create the method of creating a customer in this controller.

public string InsertCustomer()
       {
           try
           {
               ZohoCustomersRequest ObjCustomer = new ZohoCustomersRequest();
               ObjCustomer.first_name = "Bhavdip";
               ObjCustomer.last_name = "Talaviya";
               ObjCustomer.email = "bhavdip.vision@gmail.com";
               ObjCustomer.phone = "9825891108";
               ObjCustomer.company_name = "vision infotech";
               ObjCustomer.display_name = "Bhavdip Talaviya";

               Address objBillingAddress = new Address();
               objBillingAddress.country = "India";
               objBillingAddress.state = "gujarat";
               objBillingAddress.city = "Surat";
               objBillingAddress.zip = "394101";
               objBillingAddress.street = "7th street motavarachha";
               ObjCustomer.billing_address = objBillingAddress;
               ObjCustomer.shipping_address = objBillingAddress;
               string body = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(ObjCustomer);
               var result = CommonMethods.CallZohoAPI("customers", "POST", body);
               var CustomerAdded = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ZohoCustomersResponse>(result);

               return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { IsSuccess = true, data = CustomerAdded, Operation = "InsertCustomer", Message = "Customer Insert into zoho successfully." });

           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { IsSuccess = false, Operation = "InsertCustomer", Message = "Something went wrong" });

           }


       }

Step 8: Create the class (get set) for the Plan

public class Plan
    {
        [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        public string plan_code { get; set; }
        [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        public string plan_description { get; set; }
        [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        public string name { get; set; } = "";
        public int interval { get; set; }
        public string interval_unit { get; set; }
        public decimal recurring_price { get; set; }
        public decimal price { get; set; }
        public decimal setup_fee { get; set; }
        [DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        public string setup_fee_tax_id { get; set; }
        public int quantity { get; set; }
        public string tax_name { get; set; }
        public string setup_fee_tax_percentage { get; set; }
        //[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        //public string tax_id { get; set; }
        //[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        //public string tax_exemption_id { get; set; }
        //[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        //public string tax_exemption_code { get; set; }
        //[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        //public string setup_fee_tax_exemption_id { get; set; }
        //[DisplayFormat(ConvertEmptyStringToNull = false)]
        //public string setup_fee_tax_exemption_code { get; set; }
        public bool exclude_trial { get; set; }
        public bool exclude_setup_fee { get; set; }
        public decimal billing_cycles { get; set; }
        public int trial_days { get; set; }
        public string status { get; set; }
        public string description { get; set; }
        public decimal discount { get; set; }
        public string tax_id { get; set; }
        public decimal total { get; set; }
        public string setup_fee_tax_name { get; set; }
        public string tax_type { get; set; }
        public decimal tax_percentage { get; set; }
        public string setup_fee_tax_type { get; set; }
        public string plan_id { get; set; }
    }

 

Step 9: Create a method for creating a plan in the Zoho account.

public string InsertPlans()
        {
            try
            {
                Plan ObjPlan = new Plan();
                ObjPlan.plan_code = "Gold";
                ObjPlan.price = 150;
                ObjPlan.quantity = 1;
                ObjPlan.plan_description = "test gold plan";
                ObjPlan.name = "Gold Plan";
                string body = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(ObjPlan);
                var result = CommonMethods.CallZohoAPI("Plan", "POST", body);
                var PlanAdded = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ZohoCustomersResponse>(result);

                return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { IsSuccess = true, data = PlanAdded, Operation = "InsertPlans", Message = "Customer Insert into zoho successfully." });

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new { IsSuccess = false, Operation = "InsertPlans", Message = "Something went wrong" });

            }


        }

Now you can call this method and then show this customer and plan inserted or not in your Zoho Account.
