Subscription Filtering by Groups

Many of our customers today are leveraging the use of Subscription Groups to consolidate invoicing for their customers with multiple subscriptions. In using the Subscription Index within the UI, we are excited to announce an added filter for this subscription type!

Our Product Team has added the ability to filter between Subscription Type, now supporting three types under the 'More Filters' dropdown:

  • All
  • Individual Subscription
  • Subscription Groups

This added filter will provide your customer-facing teams a quick glance on the health of your subscription groups leading to faster turnaround time on decisions and inquiries.

Subscription Index UI Enhancements

Managing your subscriptions in Chargify should be as easy and seamless as possible, from the sign-up to look-up of information on your customer base. As we look to continually enhance our UI look and feel, many of our customers recently sat down with our Product Design Team to provide feedback on how we can improve the Subscription Index UI. 

Today, we are excited to announce that we have made several enhancements that will delight our users through a more simplistic design. We have added new filtering options with an improved search capability in addition to a new 'Product' column.

Stream Data from your Application to Chargify for Billing and Analysis

It’s easier than ever to send data from your application to Chargify Business Intelligence for custom analysis. With this information, you can hone in on how your users are consuming your product and identify key value metrics. Then, leverage this data to build complex, multi-attribute pricing models that charge your customers for the exact value they receive. 

Take a Data Ingestion Tool for example, with Events-Based Billing, they can charge different rates based on: Cloud Provider, Data Center Region, Cluster Type, and Availability.

Product Catalog UI Enhancements

After receiving valuable feedback from our customers, we are excited to bring 3 efficiency-boosting Product Catalog UI enhancements that our Billing Team has been working on! The following enhancements provide a more intuitive way of managing your Product Families, Products, Components or Coupons. It also includes converted currency amounts shown during price updates and changes. 

First, the Product Families view are now listed from newest to oldest. We heard from our customers that your newer Product Families are the ones you work with the most, so this will cut back from having your team navigate to the bottom of the list or several pages in to get to what you're looking for. 

Second, after editing a Product, Component, or Coupon on the Products Page, this page will not return the user to the same place they left off. You will no longer be returned to the main Products Page after submitting an edit. 

Third, converted amounts are now provided when configuring definitive pricing. This will save the user from having to check fx rates outside of Chargify.
