Chargebee is a subscription billing and revenue management platform for managing customers, subscriptions, invoices, payments, product catalog data, hosted checkout, and billing portal flows. The Chargebee connector lets your Lovable app call the Chargebee API through a workspace-level connection. With Chargebee, your app can:
  • List and manage customers and subscriptions
  • Read invoices, credit notes, payments, and orders
  • Build billing workflows around products and item prices
  • Create hosted checkout pages and billing portal flows
The Chargebee connector is a good fit when your app needs subscription billing data, customer billing workflows, or internal tools backed by your Chargebee account.

How to connect Chargebee

Workspace admins and owners can connect Chargebee. You can create multiple Chargebee connections using different API keys, which is useful for separating environments (for example, test and production) or connecting different Chargebee sites. When the connection is created, Chargebee becomes available across all projects in the workspace. Anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to it.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting Chargebee, make sure you have:
  • A Chargebee account
  • Your Chargebee site name, for example acme-test from https://acme-test.chargebee.com
  • A Chargebee API key
  • Lovable workspace owner or admin role
All API requests made through this connector use your Chargebee account. API usage, limits, and billing are handled directly by Chargebee, not Lovable.

​
Step 1: Get your Chargebee site name and API key

A Chargebee API key lets your Lovable app authenticate with the Chargebee API for your connected site. You can create separate keys for different environments or apps. To find your site name and create a Chargebee API key:
1

Open your Chargebee site

Sign in to Chargebee with the account for the site you want to connect.
2

Note your site name

Copy the site name from your Chargebee URL. For example, if your Chargebee URL is https://acme-test.chargebee.com, enter acme-test in Lovable.
3

Open API keys

Follow Chargebee’s API key instructions to open the API keys area for your site.
4

Create or copy an API key

Create a key for Lovable or copy an existing key with permissions for the Chargebee API actions your app needs. Use a descriptive name, for example Lovable integration.
5

Copy the key

Copy the API key and store it securely.
Your API key functions like a password. Keep it secure and never share it publicly. You need it in the next step.
See Chargebee documentation for more: Chargebee API getting started.

​
Step 2: Connect Chargebee to Lovable

You can create multiple connections using different API keys.
1

Open Chargebee in Connectors

Go to Connectors → App connectors and select Chargebee.
2

Add a connection

Click Add connection.
3

Configure the connection

  • Display name: name the connection, for example Chargebee Prod or Chargebee Test.
  • Site name: enter your Chargebee site name without .chargebee.com, for example acme-test.
  • API key: paste your Chargebee API key.
4

Choose who can access this connection

Under Who can access this connection, decide who in your workspace can use the connection:
  • Only you (default): only the person creating the connection can use it and its associated data.
  • Invite specific people: only you and explicitly added workspace members can use the connection and its associated data.
  • Invite entire workspace: click Invite entire workspace to make the connection available to everyone in your Lovable workspace.
See Connection-level access for more information.
5

Connect

Click Connect.
When connected, anyone building in a project can ask Lovable in chat to link their project to Chargebee (based on configured connection-level access). Your Lovable apps can then manage customers, subscriptions, invoices, checkout, and billing workflows through Chargebee.

​
Limitations

The Chargebee connector cannot:
  • Create or manage your Chargebee account or site configuration
  • Receive Chargebee webhooks directly through the connector
  • Rotate API keys automatically. To rotate a key, create a new key in Chargebee and update the Lovable connection
  • Support per-end-user Chargebee login. Each connection represents a single Chargebee account shared across all projects linked to it
  • Bypass Chargebee API permissions, limits, or billing rules for your account
Editors and above can remove specific projects from a connection without deleting the connection entirely. The connection will remain available for other projects. To unlink projects:
1

Open Connectors

Open Connectors, then go to App connectors, and select .
2

Open the connection

Open the connection you want to manage.
3

Select projects

Under Linked projects, check the projects you want to unlink.
4

Confirm

Click Unlink projects and confirm.
When unlinked, those projects will no longer have access to through this connection. If a project needs again, you can link it to any available connection.

​
How to delete a connection

Workspace admins and owners can delete connections. Other members can delete a connection if they created it, or if they have been explicitly granted access to it.
Deleting a connection is permanent and cannot be undone. It will remove the credentials from all linked projects, and any apps using this connection will stop working until a new connection is added.
Before deleting, review the Linked projects section to see which projects are currently using the connection. To delete a connection:
1

Open Connectors

Open Connectors, then go to App connectors, and select .
2

Open the connection

Open the connection you want to remove.
3

Review linked projects

Review the Linked projects section.
4

Delete

Under Delete this connection, click Delete and confirm.
