Documentation for users who signed up before March 1st 2014 is here. If you want the new hosted pages, email us at support@chargebee.com .
Chargebee's customizable hosted pages comes with theme support and custom fields. This is to help you carry your website branding over and to provide your customers with a seamless checkout experience. Since the pages are hosted in Chargebee's servers, the security and PCI compliance requirements are drastically reduced for you. Along with theme support, our mobile compatible hosted pages also come with ready integration for Google Analytics and Typekit.
There are 3 hosted pages available:
This page needs to be enabled (enabled by default) for users to be able to access it.
A hosted checkout page can be generated either by accessing the plan specific hosted page URL or by using the Hosted Pages API.
Here is a sample hosted checkout page:
Configure Redirect URL - FOR API USERS
This URL is where subscribers will be redirected to when their checkout is successful. This URL needs to be configured when using the hosted pages API integration. Click here to learn more.
If you're integrating using the plan specific hosted pages, the redirect URL needs to be configured for each plan.
Configure Cancel URL
If this URL is configured, a "Cancel" button will appear on the checkout page. Users can click on this to cancel their sign up.
The redirect and Cancel URL can also be passed using the Checkout new / Checkout existing API . In such cases, the URL configured under Hosted Pages settings will be overridden.
Legal Information
Go to Settings › Hosted Pages Settings › Checkout Page to provide the URLs and the text to be linked to the URLs.
You can also choose to include a consent option in the hosted checkout page, and specify the text for the same in the Agreement label text box.
Use the Quick Preview to see how your agreement label and URLs will appear on the checkout page.
The hosted update payment method page is where your existing customers can update their payment method details. A link for the hosted update payment method page can be generated when using the "Request Payment Method Details" option. This option is available in the subscription details page and sends an email to the subscriber along with the link to update their payment method details.
Another way is using the "{{customer.payment_method_update_url}}" mail merge field in the email notifications. If you include this merge field in your email notifications, when the customers receive the email, a link to update their payment method will be available.
You can also use the Update Payment Method API to generate a link.
Redirect URL
This URL is where subscribers will be redirected to once they successfully update their payment method details.
Configure Cancel URL
If this URL is configured, a "Cancel" button will appear on the update payment method page. Users can click on this to cancel the update operation.
The Redirect and Cancel URL can also be passed via the Update Payment Method API. In such cases, the URL configured in under Hosted Pages Settings will be overridden.
The customer portal is where your customers can login and manage their subscriptions. The portal allows them to view their invoices, update their account, payment method, billing and shipping details. They can also cancel their subscription. You can control which operations can be performed by your customers in the customer portal. Read more.
