What Chargebee Provides

Acquire

Convert More Subscribers, From First Click to First Payment

Pricing confusion, checkout friction and payment failures kill conversion at scale. Every abandoned checkout is revenue that entered the funnel and left.

Chargebee gives B2C teams configurable pricing pages that connect natively to the product catalog. A/B test pricing tiers, trial lengths and promotional offers without code changes. Support 40+ payment methods in a single checkout. Local currencies from day one. Guest checkout to reduce friction.

Measure conversion lift in revenue, not clicks. Every test ties back to actual subscriber acquisition and first-payment completion.

Run Pricing Experiments Weekly. Not Quarterly.

No engineering tickets. No sprint backlog. A live test and a revenue result.

Most B2C companies know their pricing could perform better. A different trial length might convert more subscribers. A bundle could expand ARPU. A promotional offer could accelerate acquisition. Every change requires a sprint. Every sprint requires prioritization. By the time the test ships, the market has moved.

Chargebee breaks the dependency. Launch new plans, bundles or offers through the UI in hours. A/B test coupons, pricing tiers and packaging without touching the codebase.

Build dynamic audiences from billing signals. Push the right offer to the right cohort at the right moment. Measure lift in revenue. Run control groups and holdouts to prove causal impact.

  • 67% of consumers are open to hybrid and pay-as-you-go pricing models.

Billing for Every Pricing Model Your Business Runs

Tiered, flat-fee, bundled, promotional, hybrid and pay-as-you-go pricing all run on the same billing engine. Combine subscription fees with add-ons, metered components or consumption-based charges on a single subscriber account. The platform covers 480+ billing scenarios. Pricing logic is configurable without engineering involvement. When the model changes, you update the configuration in Chargebee.

Chargebee's Entitlements decouples what subscribers pay from what they access. Define plans, attach features, set access rules and go live through configuration. The application checks Feature IDs against Chargebee. Packaging updates are configuration, not deployment.

Turn Billing Data Into Personalized Offers That Lift ARPU

In-house platforms run one-size-fits-all retention offers. They wait quarters to test pricing. Growth teams have ideas. The billing system blocks execution.

Chargebee Growth targets dynamic audiences built from billing and behavioral signals. Surface upgrade offers in-app, at checkout or during renewal. A/B test upsell and cross-sell offers against control groups. Measure every experiment through incrementality.

Move subscribers to annual plans, premium tiers, bundles or add-ons. Grow ARPU from the base you already have.

Intervene While Revenue Is Still Recoverable

Retention fails when teams intervene after the revenue is lost. Chargebee identifies at-risk subscribers and acts while there is still time.

Proactive retention. AI churn scores analyze billing behavior, payment patterns and engagement signals. They identify at-risk subscribers 30 days before cancellation. Build dynamic audiences from live billing data. Prioritize retention efforts on the subscribers who need intervention and protect margin on those who do not.

Reactive retention. When subscribers do reach the cancel page, Chargebee helps you test the best path forward. Pause options. Downgrade paths. Targeted save offers. Personalized cancellation flows. Multivariate offer tests. See which offers save subscribers. See which discounts protect margin. See which flows improve long-term retention.

See Retention in Action
  • 58% of subscribers pause instead of canceling when given the option.

  • 37% canceled after price hikes. 22% downgraded. Deflection saves revenue.

Give Subscribers the Control They Expect. Reduce Support Tickets by Default.

The single most effective retention tool is often the simplest: letting subscribers manage their own subscription.

Chargebee's subscriber portal lets consumers upgrade, downgrade, pause, update payment methods and view billing history without contacting support. Real-time entitlement updates post-transaction. Instant plan changes with automated proration. Branded and configurable to match your product experience.

For media companies, pausing preserves the subscriber relationship and the revenue recovery opportunity. For streaming and fitness platforms, self-service reduces support ticket volume and operational cost.

Recover

Recover the Revenue You Thought You Already Lost

For high-volume subscription businesses, involuntary churn is the largest source of preventable revenue loss. Failed payments, expired cards and declined transactions accumulate silently.

Chargebee's payment intelligence layer runs continuously. ML-backed retry logic selects the optimal retry time and amount for each failed transaction. Smart dunning sequences send the right communication at the right moment. Proactive card expiry outreach runs before the payment fails.

Revive recovers revenue from expired and outdated payment methods through network-level account updater integrations. Reveal surfaces recovery opportunities your current setup misses.

“We manage subscribers across multiple geographies and payment methods, and every failed renewal used to mean lost revenue and manual intervention. Now our payment retries and dunning logic run automatically.”

Recover

Scale Globally Without Rebuilding Your Payments Stack

Consumer subscription businesses expanding internationally face the same problem in every new market: new currencies, new payment preferences, new tax jurisdictions, new compliance requirements. Most billing platforms require engineering work for each market entry.

Chargebee eliminates the dependency. 37+ gateways. 26+ payment methods. 190+ countries. Local payment methods from day one: Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, ACH, PayPal, Venmo and regional methods preferred by consumers in each market.

Smart routing selects the gateway with the best authorization rate per transaction. Multi-gateway redundancy protects revenue against single-point failures. Automated tax calculation across 190+ countries.

Multi-entity management lets you operate separate legal entities, tax configurations and revenue recognition per market from one platform. Manage multiple brands and regions without re-architecting billing for every expansion.

Revenue Recognition Across Every Pricing Model

Rapid pricing tests, promotional offers and multi-market expansion create rev rec complexity. New bundles mean allocation rules. New promotions mean deferred revenue tracking. New entities mean separate recognition schedules.

Chargebee automates recognition across all of them. Multi-period subscription schedules, deferred revenue waterfall reporting and audit-ready exports run from the same data that drives billing. ASC 606 and IFRS 15 compliance stays current as the pricing mix changes.

Billing Infrastructure as a Long-Term Investment

Consumer subscription businesses change. You will add new products, enter new markets, launch new brands, test new pricing structures and shift from acquisition-led to retention-led growth. The billing platform either supports that evolution or becomes the constraint.

Chargebee handles the range. The same platform that powers a single-brand monthly subscription powers a multi-entity, multi-brand operation with promotional pricing, hybrid models and custom renewal terms across 54 countries.

When your business evolves, you change how you monetize. You do not rebuild billing.

What this covers

  • Single product catalog across brands, markets and channels
  • Subscriber lifecycle management: upgrades, downgrades, pauses, renewals, plan swaps
  • Automated proration, refunds and chargeback handling
  • Hosted checkout, pricing pages, cancel flows and self-service portals
  • Hybrid pricing: subscriptions + add-ons + pay-as-you-go + metered components
  • Unified mobile and direct subscription management (Apple and Google subscriptions alongside web billing, single subscriber view across acquisition channels)
  • Revenue recognition (ASC 606 / IFRS 15) across every pricing model
  • SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS Level 1, GDPR readiness

“We can now provide more flexible monthly subscription options, allowing subscribers to opt out sooner, but typically leading them to stay longer. This flexibility has helped maintain healthy retention rates and attract more subscribers.”
