Chargebee

This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the Chargebee source connector.

Prerequisites

To set up the Chargebee source connector, you will need a valid Chargebee API key and the Product Catalog version of the Chargebee site you are syncing data from.

info

All Chargebee sites created from May 5, 2021 onward will have Product Catalog 2.0 enabled by default. Sites created prior to this date will use Product Catalog 1.0.

Set up the Chargebee connector in Airbyte

  1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account or navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
  2. Click Sources and then click + New source.
  3. On the Set up the source page, select Chargebee from the Source type dropdown.
  4. Enter the name for the Chargebee connector.
  5. For Site, enter the site prefix for your Chargebee instance.
  6. For Start Date, enter the date in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ format. The data added on and after this date will be replicated.
  7. For API Key, enter the Chargebee API key.
  8. For Product Catalog, enter the Chargebee Product Catalog version.
  9. Click Set up source.

Supported sync modes

The Chargebee source connector supports the following sync modes:

Supported streams

Most streams are supported regardless of your Chargebee site's Product Catalog version, with a few version-specific exceptions.

StreamProduct Catalog 1.0Product Catalog 2.0
Addons

Coupons

note

When using incremental sync mode, the Attached Items stream behaves differently than the other streams. Whereas other incremental streams read and output only new records, the Attached Items stream reads all records but only outputs new records, making it more demanding on your Chargebee API quota. Each sync incurs API calls equal to the total number of attached items in your Chargebee instance divided by 100, regardless of the actual number of Attached Items changed or synced.

Performance considerations

The Chargebee connector should not run into Chargebee API limitations under normal usage. Create an issue if you encounter any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.
