Bring Chargebee billing into your accounts

We connect your Chargebee billing to DATEV through Pathway. Alongside invoices and credit notes, we consider service periods, payments and outstanding items. Subscription billing becomes a reconciled basis for bookkeeping and year-end work.

The system

What is Chargebee?

Chargebee manages subscriptions and recurring billing, including contracts, plan changes, invoices and credit notes. Payment providers add the actual payment transactions to the workflow.

Account for subscriptions and service periods

We agree accounting and tax requirements for invoice data and configure account mapping in Pathway. For services invoiced in advance, we prepare revenue deferrals based on the available service periods. Amicon is a Pathway Gold Partner.
