Create New Billing Account

This topic demonstrates how to create a billing account for a remote Fabric port.

To complete an order for a remote Equinix Fabric port in a new country, you need a new billing account in the Equinix Fabric portal.

During the procedure for ordering a remote port, you are prompted to create a new billing account after you select a Metro and IBX in a country where you have no existing agreements.

In the No Active Agreements notification, click Create New Account.
Enter Company Name and the Country where your company headquarters is located.
Enter your billing information, including:
- Bill To Address – Choose an address where invoices should be sent.
- Currency – Choose a currency in which you want to be billed.
Choose a Sold-To Address, and enter your VAT Registration Number.
Select your Account Specifications:
- All orders require a Purchase Order – Each order must have a Purchase Order (also known as PO Bearing.)
- Require a signature for every order – Each order must have a wet signature, instead of just an online clicked signature.
Review and select the appropriate Legal Agreement Requirements for your business requirements:
- My organization does not require signed documents to accept Terms and Conditions – To approve the legal agreements online.
  1. Click View Terms and Conditions.
  2. Review the document and click Print Order Terms to keep a copy for your records.
  3. Click I have read and understand these terms, then click Accept.
- My organization requires signed documents to accept Terms and Condition – To receive and sign the documents electronically, or to send the documents to someone else in your organization.
  - I will sign – Click Select to receive and sign the documents electronically.
  - Someone else should sign – Enter an email address if the documents should be sent to someone else in your organization.
Click Create Account.
