Set the business details
invoices_set_profileSet the business details printed on quotes and invoices: legal name, country, address, tax ID, email, phone, logo, default currency, payment terms, tax rate, number prefixes and next numbers, payment instructions, an optional payment link and legal notes. Only the fields given change. Sending needs legal_name and country; in the EU, the UK and Switzerland an invoice also needs the address and tax ID, checked when it is sent. Costs $0.001 per call; nothing if it fails.
