Definition

Accounts in Recurly represent individual subscribers and serve as the single source of truth for all their associated data — subscriptions, invoices, transactions, billing addresses, shipping addresses, and payment methods. Every interaction a subscriber has with your business flows through their account record.

Dates and times

Recurly records all transactions in UTC as the underlying billing timezone. Any dates or times shown on Accounts are automatically converted from UTC to the local time specified in your site settings.
