Introducing the Chargebee CLI

Overview

Chargebee's hosted capabilities make it easy to create great customer experiences. You can use pre-built, configurable pages for a quick, no-code integration that handles everything. Or, if you want more control over the user experience on your website, you can use the client-side js library to manage billing and payments. Hosted capabilities can help your customers to:

  • View and manage subscriptions.
  • Checkout and complete purchases with a variety of payment methods.
  • Preview current and upcoming charges.
  • Modify payment methods.
  • Pay due invoices.
  • Ensure they provide a valid VAT number.

In addition to the features mentioned above, hosted capabilities provide benefits such as compliance with region-specific regulations, support for multiple payment gateways, and seamless integration with Chargebee's billing and subscription management. These capabilities make creating a smooth customer experience easy with minimal effort and cost.

Chargebee.js

Chargebee.js is a client-side software library that provides powerful billing and payment management capabilities. While hosted pages offer some of the same features in a pre-built format, Chargebee.js gives you greater control over the customer experience. You can customize the payment process to suit your needs while Chargebee does the heavy lifting.
