It is a new day for Chargify as we merge with SaaSOptics to become Maxio!! 

As we transition to our new combined brand over the coming months, you will notice updates to the look and feel of the Chargify application but rest assured - your overall experience will stay the same.

This is a momentous day for our team and it wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of you, our customers. Thank you for trusting us with your subscription needs through the years and for joining us on the next leg of our journey.

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. 

For more information on applying coupons, see our documentation >

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.

Over the past several months our Product Design Team has released enhancements to the Subscription Index UI so that your customer-facing teams can navigate and search for subscriptions with ease. These have included new filtering options that includes subscription groups in addition to enhanced search capabilities. 

Today we are excited to announce we have added the ability to customize columns! We understand workflows can vary from department to department or even between sites within your Chargify environment. This customization feature allows you to quickly see the information you need with pick and choose columns such as 'Signup Date', 'Period Start', 'Collection Method' and more!

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.

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.

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.

Data Read Event Rate per GB:

To start streaming your data to Chargify, head to Business Intelligence and select ‘Manage Data Sources’. From there, you will be asked to define your new data source. You can follow this guide to start streaming your data in.
