Integrate Anrok & Chargebee

Step 1 — Create a Chargebee API key

In order to import your product pricing catalog and ingest your historical transactions, Anrok requires you to create and provide a Chargebee API key.

Step 2 — Locate your Chargebee site name

In order to connect to your Chargebee instance, Anrok requires the site name (subdomain) of your Chargebee account.

1. In the Chargebee app , go to Home.
2. In the URL, locate your site name (subdomain). It will look like the following example:  support-demo.chargebee.com.

The first step of integrating with Chargebee will be connected directly to your account within Anrok. During this process, you will be required to align your accounting time zone and provide the necessary credentials associated with your Chargebee account.

4. When you are finished, click Connect.

Step 4 — Add your Chargebee products as product IDs

In Anrok, your Chargebee products will be called product IDsProduct ID
They describe the specific product or service that was sold to your customer. Product IDs are passed to Anrok from your billing system as the product(s) you are including on the invoice.

Each product ID you sell must be mapped to a corresponding tax configuration in Anrok, which signals what taxability ruleset to apply to the product.. These product IDs are the key driver for calculating taxability. It's important that you add your current and previous Chargebee products into Anrok. See What are product IDs?
