Address

Address: Create

See also the Address response object.

The only attribute required to create an address is the customer_id. Addresses stored in the Vault need to be associated to a customer. You can't specify Address ID. It is always generated by the gateway as two alphanumeric characters. Address IDs are unique to the customer, so multiple customers can have the same address ID.

There is a limit of 50 addresses that can be saved per customer. Addresses can also be created with a payment method or created with a customer and a payment method.

  1. Ruby
result = gateway.address.create(
  :customer_id         => '131866',
  :first_name          => 'Jenna',
  :last_name           => 'Smith',
  :company             => 'Braintree',
  :street_address      => '1 E Main St',
  :extended_address    => 'Suite 403',
  :locality            => 'Chicago',
  :region              => 'Illinois',
  :postal_code         => '60622',
  :country_code_alpha2 => 'US'
)

If the address or customer can't be found, it will raise a Braintree::NotFoundError.
