How ChaChing Works
ChaChing operates as a billing engine that integrates directly with Stripe. Businesses connect their Stripe account using the secret key, then select which subscriptions to migrate. The system imports all dependencies to ensure a smooth transition, allowing users to continue using Stripe for payment processing while ChaChing handles the billing side. This setup ensures zero disruption to ongoing subscriptions and payments.
The migration process is straightforward: connect your Stripe account, choose which subscriptions to move, and review the migration before confirming. After migration, users can manage subscriptions, invoices, and customer portals through ChaChing’s intuitive dashboard.
