Why teams connect Chargebee and Citus

Work with Chargebee's financial data straight from Citus: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Payment sources, Transactions, Coupons, Events from Chargebee into Views, Sequences, Distributed tables, Reference tables in Citus and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Citus, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Chargebee with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Sync subscription status, plan, and MRR-relevant fields into the CRM so sales and success see billing state on the account.
  • Push invoices and credit notes into an accounting system or warehouse for revenue reporting.
  • Sync high-volume event or tenant data from a Citus cluster into a warehouse for cross-tenant analytics.
  • Write CRM or billing records into reference tables so distributed queries can join operational context locally on every node.

React to financial events

Changes in Chargebee appear in Citus as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Chargebee live in Citus as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Citus; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Chargebee.

What you can sync between Chargebee and Citus

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Chargebee objects Citus objects
Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources.
Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts.
Customers Billing accounts matched to CRM accounts or users by email or external ID. Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets.
Subscriptions Recurring billing state (plan, term, status) synced to CRM and product databases. Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables.
