Why teams connect Channelengine and Chargebee

Turn every Channelengine order into clean revenue: Chargebee and Channelengine keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.

Channelengine runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Chargebee records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.

Stacksync syncs Invoices, Credit notes, Items and item prices, Payment sources in Chargebee with Backorders, Order documents, Orders, Products (product content) in Channelengine field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Channelengine, its paid-or-overdue state from Chargebee — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write plan changes initiated in an internal admin tool back into Chargebee subscriptions.
  • 02 Mirror customers and subscriptions into Postgres so product code can check entitlement without calling the billing API.
  • 03 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.

Common sync patterns

Catalog and pricing stay aligned

Products, SKUs, and prices maintained on one side propagate to the other, so what the store sells and what the ledger books stay in step.

Refunds and credits reconcile

Refunds, cancellations, and credit notes raised in either system update the corresponding record in the other, keeping balances honest on both sides.

Where Channelengine originates orders: sales flow into the books

A new or updated order in Channelengine creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Chargebee, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

What you can sync between Channelengine 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.

Channelengine objects Chargebee objects How this pairing syncs
Products (product content) Catalog records created and updated via POST /v2/products and deactivated via DELETE; use a parent/child variant model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint. Written into ChannelEngine from a PIM, ERP, or database. Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Subscriptions to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers (price and stock) Price and stock updates via PUT /v2/offer/stock and the offers endpoints; separate from product content so fast-changing stock can be pushed often, and supports bulk updates across stock locations. Invoices Issued billing documents synced to accounting and revenue reporting. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Invoices to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Fulfillment records; write with POST /v2/shipments to mark an order shipped with tracking, read with GET /v2/shipments. Pushed back from a warehouse or ERP so marketplaces update the buyer. Credit notes Adjustments and refund documents needed for accurate revenue reconciliation. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Credit notes to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Returns Marketplace- and merchant-initiated returns; read via GET /v2/returns and created with POST /v2/returns. Synced two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile with the ERP. Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. Returns is specific to Channelengine and Items and item prices to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Payment sources to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Backorders Records marking part of an order as temporarily out of stock; create with POST /v2/backorders and read with GET /v2/backorders by merchant reference or since a date. Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Transactions to Chargebee — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine 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.

Channelengine Chargebee Sub-second propagation

DetectionChannelengine notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes.

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

Chargebee Channelengine 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 Channelengine through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Channelengine: Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.
  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.

How the Channelengine and Chargebee connectors work

Channelengine

Integration surface
REST API (Merchant API v2); per-tenant base URL https://{tenant}.channelengine.net/api
Authentication
API key passed as the 'apikey' parameter; ChannelEngine recommends sending it in a request header rather than the URL because some webservers log full URLs
Change detection
Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes; product content and offers use change-tracking endpoints (GET /v2/products/data and /v2/products/offers) with an acknowledge pattern that returns only changed records, plus polling GET /v2/orders/new
