Why teams connect Bill and Chargebee

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Bill and Chargebee share consistent in real time, whether the two systems split your finance stack or one is replacing the other.

Two finance systems in one company usually means one of two setups. Either the systems divide the work, with one issuing invoices or serving a business unit while the other holds the books, or one is on its way out and both must stay accurate during the transition. In both cases, the customer, invoice, and payment records the two systems share start to drift the moment updates are keyed twice or moved by hand.

Stacksync syncs Customers, Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts in Bill with Transactions, Coupons, Events, Customers in Chargebee bi-directionally and in real time. A record created or corrected in either system appears in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most at close. When both systems agree on who was billed, what was paid, and what is outstanding, reconciliation stops being a hunt for which copy of the truth is current.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 02 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 03 Write plan changes initiated in an internal admin tool back into Chargebee subscriptions.
  • 04 Mirror customers and subscriptions into Postgres so product code can check entitlement without calling the billing API.

Common sync patterns

Where Bill issues invoices and Chargebee holds the books

Invoices and payments recorded on the billing side land in the system of record automatically, so revenue is captured once and correctly.

Parallel run during a migration

When one system is replacing the other, keep both live and matching through the cutover, so no transaction falls between the last export and go-live.

One customer master

A customer's name, billing details, or payment terms corrected in either system update the other immediately, so the next invoice always uses current information.

What you can sync between Bill and Chargebee

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Bill objects Chargebee objects How this pairing syncs
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Invoices Issued billing documents synced to accounting and revenue reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Payments is specific to Bill and Events to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Subscriptions to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Credit notes Adjustments and refund documents needed for accurate revenue reconciliation. Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Credit notes to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Items and item prices to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and Chargebee

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Bill Chargebee Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Chargebee through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Chargebee Bill Sub-second propagation

DetectionChargebee notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Bill through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.
