With a large number of variations in the quote to subscription workflow, very often it is required to either extend existing functionality or add new functionality to Zuora Quotes. This is where Components and Plugins in Zuora For Salesforce comes into the picture.


Understanding Components &

Plugins


Components Definition

A way to encapsulate a common design pattern in a custom component and then reuse that component several times in one or more Visualforce pages.


Plugins Definition

An Apex plugin is an Apex class referenced from within a managed package via a component at runtime. It is a method to encapsulate your own business logic within our existing Zuora for Salesforce Visualforce pages.


Why use Components & Plugins?

ComponentsThey dramatically speed up development what previously was pure Apex code by reusing successful patterns already established in our Quotes application

PluginsThey allow custom functionality over and above what Zuora for Salesforce provides out of the box, but in a managed way, an example being the default values exercise you will perform in a lab exercise.


Component Registration and Library

Zuora Provides

– A Component Registration feature if you wish to develop your own Components and Plugins

– A library of Components and Plugins that you can customize and use in your own Quoting workflows


Component Registration Benefits

• Provides a central place to manage all of your custom components and plugins

• Reduces the number of steps it previously took to use a component or a plugin in your system

• Puts you on an upgrade path such that when we add additional functionality to these components, you get an immediate benefit as opposed to if you had used custom code

• It means you will take advantage for your own components of any point and click Admin UI we decide to put on top of the components or plugins

• It allows Zuora to isolate custom code versus product issues occurring in your implementation much more easily
