Customer Feed beta

What You Can Do with Chargebee

Connect Chargebee natively to Referral Rock referral software (a native integration currently in open beta). With Customer Feed, Chargebee becomes a system of record for your subscription business: when an invoice is paid or a subscription becomes active, the matching referral is approved across all your programs and the customer can be enrolled as a member, with no manual reconciliation.

How the Chargebee Integration Works

Connect with a Chargebee site API key

Generate a site API key in Chargebee and enter it, along with your site/subdomain, in Referral Rock. This is API-key authentication; there's no OAuth pop-up. See Chargebee's <a href="https://www.chargebee.com/docs/billing/2.0/site-configuration/api_keys" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">API keys guide</a> for generating one.

A paid invoice approves the referral

When an invoice is paid, or a subscription becomes active, Customer Feed matches the customer and sets their referral to Approved across all of your programs automatically.

Preload customers as members

Based on your account settings, the paying customer can be added as a preloaded member and flow into your invite lifecycle, ready to start referring.

Trigger rewards on approval

The Customer Feed approval can trigger the reward automatically based on your program rules, gift cards, cash, or a custom incentive, with no manual work for your team.

Customer Feed: approve referrals on real subscription revenue

Connect Chargebee as a system of record and let paid invoices and active subscriptions drive your program. When a referred customer pays, their referral is approved and rewards can fire.

A paid Invoice or an active Subscription in Chargebee sets the matching referral to Approved across every program it belongs to.
The connection is inbound-only and read-only: Referral Rock reads billing events using your site API key and never writes to your Chargebee account.
Customers can be preloaded as members based on your account settings, so they enter the invite lifecycle without any manual work.

Built for subscription businesses

Chargebee runs recurring revenue, and referral programs thrive on it. Approving referrals on paid invoices and active subscriptions keeps rewards tied to revenue you actually collect.

Attribute paid invoices and active subscriptions to the advocate who sent the referral, automatically.
Track reward obligations tied to collected subscription revenue, fully auditable.
A single paid invoice can approve the matching referral across all of your programs at once.
