Party
A party is the core entity that represents a “Customer”. A party can represent an organization (party of many) or single person (party of one). You will find that a lot of the API’s will reference party or partyId. Consider this the “customer profile”. There are 4 main types for the core entity of party:- Organization - “O” - Represents a customer that is an organization used in B2B

- Person - “P” - Represents a customer that is a single person used in B2C
- Contact - “C” - Represents a single person that is not necessarily a customer but is a contact of a customer.
