It is now possible to apply customer coupons directly in the Hubspot UI, allowing customer-facing teams greater flexibility and management options. This update to the Chargify Hubspot integration allows customer-facing teams to easily add or remove coupons and service credits without requiring access to Chargify, or leaving the interface they manage the rest of their customer activities in - Hubspot!

To learn more about the Chargify Hubspot two-way integration, see our documentation > 

Customer churn happens to the best companies. To help close out churned or canceled customers quickly, it is now possible to apply coupons to subscriptions and have them be applied when the subscription is canceled. This new capability will allow you to clear any usage-based outstanding balances on subscriptions that are scheduled to cancel, removing the need to process a service credit after cancelation.

In 2020, we launched Events-Based Billing, an out-of-the-box rating engine that makes it easy to offer multi-attribute pricing like the industry titans (Think: AWS, Twilio, Datadog). Now, we’re excited to announce API enhancements that simplify product catalog management for Events-Based Billing models!

The API updates enable you to programmatically:

• Create Events-Based components and price points
• Assign a billable metric to a component (e.g. sum of emails sent)
• Build your rating table with hundreds of rows using bulk segments (e.g. Data transferred from U.S. East to EU (London) using AWS is $30/GB)
• Fetch hundreds of segments, filter results by up to 4 attribute values, and apply bulk edits for a given price point.
• Delete a specified segment that is no longer needed or was created in error

This new capability enables you to quickly and easily implement multi-attribute, pay-as-you-go pricing models like the example below, resulting in lower customer acquisition costs and higher net dollar retention.

Over the past 2 years, we released Events-Based Billing, an out-of-the-box rating engine for multi-attribute pricing, and Business Intelligence, a custom analytics suite for Chargify and third-party data. These products empower our customers to price like the industry titans (Think: Snowflake, Twilio, Datadog) and make data-driven business decisions.

Now, we’re thrilled to announce that streaming data to Chargify from your product database and favorite SaaS applications just got a whole lot easier! Airbyte.io, a no-code data integration platform, offers hundreds of source connectors that allow you to quickly and easily sync your data to Chargify. 

See this new capability in action by watching the 6-minute video below and learn how to easily deploy highly-tailored pricing models used by fast growing companies like Snowflake and AWS.

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.
