Chargebee is a recurring billing and subscription management software. It helps businesses automate the process of billing and collecting payments from customers on a recurring basis.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how Chargebee works:

  1. Sign up for a Chargebee account and create a new plan for your subscription-based product or service.
  2. Integrate Chargebee with your website or e-commerce platform. This allows customers to sign up for your plans and make payments directly through your website.
  3. Once a customer signs up for a plan, Chargebee will automatically generate an invoice and send it to the customer.
  4. Chargebee will then automatically process the payment and update the customer’s account balance accordingly.
  5. Chargebee will automatically generate and send invoices to customers on a recurring basis, based on the plan they have signed up for.
  6. Chargebee also allows you to set up different types of plans and pricing, such as free trials, discounts, and prorated charges.
  7. Chargebee also allows you to manage your subscriptions, customers, invoices, and revenue through an easy-to-use dashboard. You can also configure and send automatic email notifications, set up automatic dunning management and more.
  8. Chargebee will also handle the revenue recognition, subscriptions, and invoicing compliance with accounting standards.
  9. Chargebee integrates with a variety of payment gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.net, so you can easily accept payments from customers around the world.
  10. Chargebee also allows you to export data and reports to analyze the performance of your subscriptions, revenue and customer trends.

The process of integrating Chargebee with your website or e-commerce platform can vary depending on the platform you are using. But in general, it’s a straightforward process that can be done in a few steps.
