Sample Reports

RevenueStory's Report Builder enables you to create reports on your own. The information in Chargebee is remodeled as data sources (tables) thereby enabling you to visualize any data that you want as insightful reports. Using this feature, you can transform raw data into actionable insights. We have curated a few essential reports that you can create using Report Builder.
