      Multi-location Organizations

      For organizations with multiple locations, use the places field:

      const params: CreateOrgParams = {
  org_type: 'business',
  profile: {
    legal_name: 'Global Tech Inc',
    tax_id: '98-7654321',
    incorporation_date: '2018-03-10',
    business_type: 'corporation',
    incorporation_country_code: 'US',
    incorporation_state: 'DE',
    address_line1: '789 Corporate Blvd',
    postal_code: '19801',
    city: 'Wilmington',
    places: [
      {
        country_code: 'US',
        state: 'CA',
        address_line1: '100 Silicon Valley Dr',
        postal_code: '94025',
        city: 'Menlo Park',
        is_primary: true,
      },
      {
        country_code: 'US',
        state: 'NY',
        address_line1: '250 Broadway',
        postal_code: '10007',
        city: 'New York',
        is_primary: false,
      },
    ],
  },
};

      Custom Metadata

      Add custom fields to track additional information:

      const params: CreateOrgParams = {
  org_type: 'business',
  profile: {
    // ... profile fields
  },
  metadata: {
    source: 'api',
    customer_id: 'cust_123',
    plan: 'enterprise',
    referral_code: 'REF2024',
  },
};

      Best Practices

      1. Validate Data: Ensure all required fields are present before calling the API
      2. Handle Errors: Always use try-catch blocks
      3. Store URNs: Save the organization URN for future operations
      4. Use Metadata: Track additional context using metadata
      5. Test in Sandbox: Always test with mode: 'sandbox' first
