Installation Guide

Important This page is for a legacy version of the integration that maps Chargebee customers to contacts in Salesforce. The version was deprecated on 6th Jan 2020. If you have not migrated to the latest version (with account-based mapping), please contact support.

Important The integration must be setup exactly as described on this page. So follow the steps carefully. Do get in touch with Chargebee support if you have any concerns.

Note

Multiple Chargebee sites If you are connecting multiple Chargebee sites with the same Salesforce org, perform the steps given below for each of the Chargebee sites.

Step 1: Connect Chargebee to Salesforce

Test then Live Before integrating your Chargebee live site(s) with your Salesforce production org, it is imperative that you test your workflows fully using the Chargebee test site(s) connected with a Salesforce sandbox account loaded with a copy of your production data.

Note

Package version If you are connecting multiple Chargebee sites to the same Salesforce instance, ensure that your Chargebee for Salesforce package version is at least v1.21. Connecting a second Chargebee site when a lower version of the package is installed leads to erroneous behavior.

Check your package version and contact support get the link for the latest package.

  1. On your Chargebee site, navigate to Apps>Go to Marketplace>Salesforce. Click Connect. You are lead to the Salesforce sandbox or Salesforce production login page based on whether you are connecting from a Chargebee test site or live site respectively.

Tip If you don't see the option to connect, write to Chargebee support or contact your Chargebee sales or Customer Success representative to enable the integration.

  1. Sign into the Salesforce sandbox/production org using a user account created exclusively for the Chargebee integration. This ensures that changes made by the integration are clearly identified and not mistaken for changes made by other users.

Step 2: Install the package.

Once logged into Salesforce, the package installation process starts.

When you see the Install Chargebee for Salesforce page, choose Install for Specific Profiles.

Scroll down and enable access to the package for the appropriate Salesforce user profiles and click on Install.

Tip The installation could take a few minutes to finish. So give it some time and then continue in Chargebee: Apps>Go to Marketplace> Salesforce.

Step 3: Data and Configuration Validation

In this step, Chargebee checks if certain prerequisites are met for syncing.

The following checks are done and any failures are reported:

In Chargebee

Customer records in Chargebee are checked to see if email addresses are present.

Any records without email addresses are listed and you can either add email addresses to those records or choose to not sync those records and continue.

Note

The email address is the default lookup-field used to match customers in Chargebee with contacts in Salesforce. You can have us change this to another field for you.

In Salesforce

  1. Currencies are checked to ensure that all those enabled in Chargebee are also enabled in Salesforce.

  2. The Salesforce user account used to setup the integration must have access permissions to the necessary objects and their fields in Salesforce.

  3. Mandatory Custom Fields in Salesforce must be mapped to fields in Chargebee. Any unmapped ones are flagged.

Here's how you could fix some of the common errors during the validation process:

Step 4: Configure the Sync Mechanism

Once you have reached this far in setting up the integration, it is now time to think through how Chargebee for Salesforce must be configured so that your Salesforce business workflows are supported.

Read the Integration Guide to understand the configuration options available and set them up.
