Spring update to support tax, revenue recognition and regional compliance mandates to help customers expand globally
San Francisco, CA, March 16, 2022, the leading subscription management platform, today announced the industry's first e-invoicing service for high-performing SaaS and subscription-model businesses as the centerpiece of its Spring 2022 Product Release. The release includes updates geared towards enabling growth and efficiency for Chargebee customers, including taxation and revenue recognition features and a new Marketplace to automate billing workflows through a library of customizable integrations.
E-Invoicing
Countries across the world, including Brazil, France, Finland, Germany and India, are already mandating e-invoicing for Business to Governmentwill allow businesses seeking to expand operations globally to easily comply with local e-invoicing mandates and serve B2G and B2B customers in new regions.
"Chargebee has solved a huge problem for us," said Gabriele Proni, co-founder and CTO of Voxloud, an Italian-based communications company. "Italy has some of the strictest e-invoicing mandates in the entire world, and without Chargebee's e-invoicing service, we would have had to spend countless hours sending them out manually. Chargebee came in and helped automate the process, saving our team from spending unnecessary time and power and allowed us to focus on doing what we do best."
Marketplace

Through automation, Chargebee is providing subscription businesses with a new way to sync billing information and improve an organization's financial efficiency and enabling them to meet the growing list of compliance requirements, including Value-Added Tax ("VAT" in Europe) and Tax Deduction at Source ("TDS" in India).
