Why teams connect Chargebee and Recurly

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Chargebee and Recurly 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, Subscriptions, Invoices, Credit notes in Chargebee with Coupons and Redemptions, Billing Info, Measured Units and Usage, Accounts in Recurly 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 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 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 04 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.

Common sync patterns

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.

Payment status everywhere

A payment applied in one system updates the matching invoice in the other, so no one chases a balance that was already settled.

What you can sync between Chargebee and Recurly

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 Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Invoices Issued billing documents synced to accounting and revenue reporting. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Items and item prices is specific to Chargebee and Billing Info to Recurly — 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. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Payment sources is specific to Chargebee and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Coupons is specific to Chargebee and Accounts to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Chargebee and Recurly

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

Recurly Chargebee Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
