Object Relationship Model

Chargebee automates the recurring billing and subscription workflow for your business with a closely coupled system. The following diagram depicts Chargebee's Object Relationship model. The purpose of this diagram is for you to identify the key data objects in Chargebee, and understand how they are linked and interact with each other within Chargebee.

Based on their functionality, the objects are placed under four key sections that are Product Catalog, Customers & Subscriptions, Invoicing, and Payments. These objects interact to help automate the subscription billing and revenue operations for your business.

The objects are linked using crow's foot notation to describe the type of relationship between them.
