Why teams connect Chargebee and Postgres Heroku

Work with Chargebee's financial data straight from Postgres Heroku: 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 Schemas, Primary and Unique Keys, JSONB Columns, Sequences in Postgres Heroku and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Postgres Heroku, 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

  • Mirror customers and subscriptions into Postgres so product code can check entitlement without calling the billing API.
  • Trigger dunning and churn-risk workflows by syncing failed transactions into support and CS tools.
  • Keep several Heroku app databases aligned with one system of record
  • Reflect billing and subscription records into the app database so product logic reads local rows

Internal tools without API plumbing

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

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Postgres Heroku propagate into Chargebee, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

React to financial events

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

What you can sync between Chargebee and Postgres Heroku

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 Postgres Heroku objects
Credit notes Adjustments and refund documents needed for accurate revenue reconciliation. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata.
Items and item prices The product catalog (plans, addons, charges) referenced by every subscription. Sequences Generate surrogate keys for rows created by inbound syncs.
Payment sources Stored payment methods; usually read-only metadata in syncs for compliance reasons. Follower Databases Heroku-managed read replicas usable as low-impact sync sources.
Transactions Payment attempts and outcomes synced for dunning and finance workflows. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data.
Coupons Discount definitions and redemptions used in deal-desk and reporting syncs. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs.
Events The change log resource that records every state change for incremental sync. Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh.

How the Chargebee and Postgres Heroku connectors work

Chargebee

Integration surface
REST API
Authentication
API key sent via HTTP basic authentication (key as the username), scoped per site with test and live environments
Change detection
Webhooks for all major object events, plus a pollable Events resource that records every change
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Subject to plan-based API rate limits enforced per site

Postgres Heroku

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required
Change detection
Trigger-based capture or polling in most configurations; log-based logical replication availability depends on plan and Heroku's managed server settings
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
No API rate limits; connection counts and performance are bounded by the Heroku Postgres plan
