Chargebee offers the following options to integrate the hosted portal depending on your application or website's framework and business model:
Chargebee supports Single Sign-On (SSO) to access the customer portal. If you have your own mechanism for authenticating users, you can use Chargebee's SSO capability to provide portal access for managing billing and subscription details.
Note:
The Portal Session URL generated via the API expires 1 hour after creation.
When you integrate using an API-based integration, the workflow looks like this:

In Chargebee, a merchant can create customer accounts using the email address in two different methods:
Once the account or accounts are created, merchants can log in and use the Self-Serve Portal. The login experience differs for these two scenarios.
For scenarios with just one customer account with a dedicated email address, the flow without any account selection page applies. This flow simply involves entering the email address and the received OTP consecutively to log in to the Self-Serve Portal.
For scenarios where multiple customers are associated with one email address, the login flow includes an account selection section (displayed in the third step below) where you can select the customer account for which you want to log in to the Self-Serve Portal. This page fetches all the accounts linked to the entered email address, and you can view them as you scroll down the page.
The login flow looks like this:
Enter your email address and click Continue.
Enter the one-time password received on your email address.
The account selection screen appears. Scroll down, locate the relevant account and select it to access the Self-Serve Portal.
After selecting the relevant account, you can view the Self-Serve Portal for the selected account.
By default, on the account selection page, the accounts are distinguished by a # number along with the Signed up on date. This doesn't provide enough details to help the customer select the correct account to log in to.
You can add more information like First Name, Last Name, Company, and more to the account tabs by using an existing label.
Follow these steps to configure the label for your accounts:
In your Chargebee app, go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Checkout & Self Serve Portal.
Select the Labels tab and click Add more copy/text.
Search for additional and click the + icon against the Additional Information label and then click Add.
Click the edit icon against the newly added label in the list.
In the Configuration for Additional Information box:
{space}EOL{space}
and add the field that you want to add after it. Note that {space}
indicates leaving a space before and after EOL
.Click Publish.
Now, restart the login flow and the changes will be visible on the account selection page.
