The Chargebee Webhook integration sends any events related to Customers, Charges, or Subscriptions. GrowSumo can then keep your customers in sync with Chargebee. It is the fastest and most accurate way to fully integrate with GrowSumo.

Get your Webhook URL

Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Webhooks and select Chargebee from the Supported integrations.

Click the copy button to copy the URL to your clipboard.

Create the Webhook on the Chargebee Dashboard

Go to Settings in the topbar, then in the API keys and webhooks section selectWebhooks and click the Add new Webhook button. (or you can just go to

https://<yoursubdomain>.chargebee.com/webhooks/webhook#create)

Add customer key to metaData

If you are not a developer, consider passing this off or have someone take a look at it after you are done.

Whenever you interact with Chargebee you need to let GrowSumo know which customer you are referring to.

GrowSumo looks for customer_key in the metaData to identify customers. The same customer_key you supplied in the call of growsumo.createSignup needs to be attached to the metaData.

ADD `meta_data` containing the `customer_key`
MAKE SURE it matches the one used with GrowSumoJS

# chargebee.configure("test_2L7HV...", "your-site...")
# chargebee.Customer.create({
#     "first_name" : "John", 
#     "last_name" : "Doe", 
#     "email" : "john@test.com",
      "meta_data": {
          "customer_key": <YOUR_CUSTOMERS_KEY>
      }
# })

ADD `metadata` containing the `customer_key`
MAKE SURE it matches the one used with GrowSumoJS

# require 'chargebee'
# ChargeBee.configure(:site => "{site}", :api_key => "{site_api_key}")
# result = ChargeBee::Customer.create({
    :meta_data => {"customer_key" => <YOUR_CUSTOMERS_KEY>),
#   :first_name => "John", 
#   :last_name => "Doe",
#   ...
# })
# customer = result.customer
# card = result.card

ADD `metadata` containing the `customer_key`
MAKE SURE it matches the one used with GrowSumoJS
<?
// require 'ChargeBee.php';
// ChargeBee_Environment::configure("{site}","{site_api_key}");
// $result = ChargeBee_Customer::create(array(
//   "firstName" => "John", 
//   "lastName" => "Doe", 
     "metaData" => array("customer_key" => <YOUR_CUSTOMERS_KEY>)
//   ...
// ));
// $customer = $result->customer();
// $card = $result->card();

ADD `metadata` containing the `customer_key`
MAKE SURE it matches the one used with GrowSumoJS

// Environment.configure("{site}","{site_api_key}");
// Result result = Customer.create()
//                   .firstName("John")
//                   .lastName("Doe")
                     .metaData("customer_key", <YOUR_CUSTOMERS_KEY>)
//                   ...
// Customer customer = result.customer();
// Card card = result.card();

ADD `metadata` containing the `customer_key`
MAKE SURE it matches the one used with GrowSumoJS

// var chargebee = require("chargebee");
// chargebee.configure({site : "{site}", api_key : "{site_api_key}"});
// chargebee.customer.create({
//   first_name : "John", 
//   last_name : "Doe", 
     meta_data: { "customer_key": <YOUR_CUSTOMERS_KEY> },
//   ..
// })

Depending on your integration with Chargebee your interaction with the metadata could be quite different. Here is a link to the Chargebee API Docs

Setup Subscription Plans

If you have any plans set up on Chargebee, now is the time to set them up on GrowSumo.

You need to make sure that the plan key on GrowSumo matches the plan id on Chargebee. You can find your plans on Chargebee by going to your dashboard and changing the path to https://<yoursubdomain>.chargebee.com/plans.

Create all your plans in GrowSumo and you are good to go!

If you are not using GrowSumoJS, continue to the next section

Not using GrowSumoJS

You may not be using GrowSumoJS if you have a product that is purchased on signup, for example an ecommerce store.

If you are not using GrowSumoJS, you must attach the customer key as account_code and the partner key as the username in your Create Customer calls.

This lets GrowSumo know which partner is responsible for which customer. After the customer has been created you can reference the customers with their key.
