Why teams connect Chargebee and Marketo

Put revenue reality behind every campaign: Chargebee and Marketo share the same customers, contacts, and billing status in real time, in both directions.

Chargebee records the money — who pays, how much, and whether they are current; Marketo decides who hears from the business and what they hear. The two overlap wherever the same customers and contacts matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV exports or an overnight batch, campaigns target on stale billing data and finance works from lists marketing has already changed underneath it.

Stacksync syncs Transactions, Coupons, Events, Customers in Chargebee with Smart Campaigns, Leads, Companies, Opportunities and Opportunity Roles in Marketo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — finance keeps the revenue and payment truth, marketing keeps consent and engagement — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync subscription status, plan, and MRR-relevant fields into the CRM so sales and success see billing state on the account.
  • 02 Push invoices and credit notes into an accounting system or warehouse for revenue reporting.
  • 03 Load purchase or product-usage records into Custom Objects linked to Leads so nurture campaigns branch on behavior mastered in another system.
  • 04 Add or remove Leads on Static Lists or set Program Member status from lifecycle stage computed downstream, then run a trigger Smart Campaign against them.

Common sync patterns

Revenue and billing signals reach the audience

Plan tier, spend, or payment status from Chargebee lands on the matching record in Marketo, so segments and targeting reflect who actually pays and how much.

One customer and contact list

Where both systems keep customer or contact records, an edit on either side propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance and the drift it creates.

Where Marketo captures new people: clean records flow to finance

Registrants, form fills, or leads created in Marketo create or update the matching customer or contact in Chargebee, so billing and reporting start from accurate details without re-entry.

What you can sync between Chargebee and Marketo

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.

Chargebee objects Marketo objects How this pairing syncs
Credit notes Adjustments and refund documents needed for accurate revenue reconciliation. Activities and Lead Changes Engagement feed (opens, clicks, form fills, Data Value Changes) read via GET /rest/v1/activities.json using a paging token from /rest/v1/activities/pagingtoken.json (sinceDatetime), plus Get Lead Changes and Get Deleted Leads; read-only, also available via async Bulk Activity Extract. Credit notes is specific to Chargebee and Activities and Lead Changes to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. Static Lists Named static lists; read via /rest/v1/lists.json, with Leads added or removed via POST and DELETE on /rest/v1/lists/{listId}/leads.json to control campaign membership from lifecycle logic computed downstream. Items and item prices is specific to Chargebee and Static Lists to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Programs and Program Members Marketing programs read via /rest/v1/programs.json; program membership and member status managed via /rest/v1/leads/programs/{programId}.json and the program status endpoint for acquisition and attribution reporting. Payment sources is specific to Chargebee and Programs and Program Members to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Smart Campaigns Automation flows read via /rest/v1/campaigns.json and run against a set of Leads by requesting a trigger campaign with POST /rest/v1/campaigns/{id}/trigger.json, so downstream logic can push Leads into a Marketo flow. Transactions is specific to Chargebee and Smart Campaigns to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Leads Core person records (called Leads/People), deduped on email address by default or a configured dedupe field; read via GET /rest/v1/leads.json with a filterType, upserted via POST /rest/v1/leads.json (action createOrUpdate/createOnly/updateOnly), bulk-imported via CSV through POST /bulk/v1/leads.json, and bulk-exported via /bulk/v1/leads/export/create.json. Coupons is specific to Chargebee and Leads to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Companies Company records linked to Leads via a company link field; read and upserted through /rest/v1/companies.json, typically mastered in a CRM or ERP and written into Marketo for account context. Events is specific to Chargebee and Companies to Marketo — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Chargebee and Marketo

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.

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

Marketo Chargebee Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Marketo for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Chargebee: Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site.
  • Marketo: Interactive calls are capped at 100 per 20 seconds (error 606) and a maximum of 10 concurrent calls (error 615) per instance, neither increasable; a default daily quota of 50,000 calls (increasable, resets midnight CST) applies. Bulk Extract shares a 500 MB/day export quota across data types with at most 2 concurrent jobs and 10 queued.

Marketo

Integration surface
Marketo REST API (JSON over HTTPS) for Leads, Companies, Opportunities, Custom Objects, Activities, Lists, Programs, and Campaigns, plus an asynchronous Bulk Import (leads) and Bulk Extract (leads/activities/program members/custom objects) API and an Asset REST API for emails, forms, and landing pages
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client_credentials (2-legged): GET the Identity URL /oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials with a Custom Service client_id and client_secret to receive an access token valid for 3600 seconds, then send it as Authorization: Bearer on each call. The instance base URL is https://{munchkinId}.mktorest.com; passing the token as an access_token query parameter is deprecated (removal July 31, 2026).
Change detection
Polling: Get Lead Changes and Get Lead Activities from a paging token seeded by a sinceDatetime, plus Get Deleted Leads, or Bulk Extract filtered on createdAt/updatedAt. Marketo's Webhooks are Smart Campaign flow-step outbound HTTP calls to a URL, not a general record-change subscription, so there is no push feed of arbitrary CRUD.
