CheddarGetter provides a full-featured, easy-to-use billing & subscription management system. CheddarGetter API enables you to leverage the full power of CheddarGetter directly into your subscription module. You can use these APIs with any programming language for recurring billing and subscription management.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In one of my projects, I have used Java<\/a> to interact with CheddarGetter, but you can use Ruby, Python, PHP and C# to interact with CheddarGetter. CheddarGetter API utilizes\u00a0REST-like interface where method calls are made by sending HTTP GET or POST requests<\/a>. Response data is returned in XML format. The response contains an HTTP status code of 200 for a successful request. A status code of 400 or greater is returned upon an adverse condition. That makes handling errors quite simple.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Configuration:<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

To integrate your\u00a0subscription module with <\/span>CheddarGetter<\/span> you will go to the <\/span>https:\/\/cheddargetter.com<\/span>\u00a0and need to follow \u00a0below steps:<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Sign-up in CheddarGetter:
\nAt first, you need to sign-up in CheddarGetter with a valid email id.\u00a0After sign-up you will receive a verification link in your registered email, after clicking on that link, verification will be done and you would get redirected to product setup page.<\/span><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Sign-up
\n<\/span><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Product setup:
\n<\/b>To setup your own product in CheddarGetter, you have to specify a product name.<\/p>\n

\"CheddarGetter\"
\nAfter specifying the product name CheddarGetter automatically creates a product code and secret key through which you can link up your subscription module with CheddarGetter, you can see that information in \u201cConfiguration\u201d->\u201dProduct Settings\u201d tab in CheddarGetter. You can specify more product related setting here as per your requirement.<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Pricing Plan:
\n<\/b>Here you can specify different types of pricing plan as per your product requirement. Pricing Plans tell CheddarGetter how much your customers pay, how often, and what they get in return. To configure pricing plan manually you have to go \u201cConfiguration\u201d \u2192 \u201cPricing Plan\u201d, here you can create a new plan or edit any existing plan.<\/p>\n

\"CheddarGetter<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Integration:
\n<\/b>You can integrate CheddarGetter with your site using CheddarGetter’s API, Hosted Payment Pages, or a combination of the both. Here you can specify your own custom curl request or specify custom hosted payment page. Here I\u2019m specifying to integrate CheddarGetter with your subscription module using \u201cHosted Page\u201d and \u201cWeb Hooks\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"CheddarGetter
\nHosted Page is a payment page provide by CheddarGetter where a user can subscribe, or any existing user can renew his\/her subscription by providing credit card details or through <\/span>PayPal<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Other Configurations:
\n<\/b>After quick setup few more things need to configure manually in CheddarGetter, for the betterment of your subscription module:<\/p>\n

1. Product Settings:
\n<\/b>To configure Product Settings manually you have to go to \u201cConfiguration\u201d \u2192 \u201cProduct Settings\u201d tab and specify the \u201cDunning Schedule\u201d as per your requirement. Here you need to specify the period in days for retrying when a transaction failed and how many times it will be retrying.\u00a0You also need to configure \u201cSubscription Field\u201d as per your requirements and \u201cBill Reminder Event\u201d sends a reminder to the customer before the expiry of the plan.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Promotions:<\/b><\/p>\n

Configuration \u2192 Promotions<\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Promotions are the best thing ever. You can use Promotions to increase demand and differentiate your product. You can use incentives like discounts to drive up sales of any given product. You can create a new promotion or modify the existing promotion or you can delete a promotion from \u201cConfiguration\u201d \u2192 \u201cPromotions\u201d tab. To create a new promotion you have to specify these mandatory fields: coupon name, description, incentive type, discount amount, coupon validity duration, coupon code through which customer applied for the discount. Remaining fields are optional like \u201climit of redemptions\u201d by which you can set total redemption limit of that coupon, \u201ccoupon expiry date\u201d specifies the date after that it will be expired etc.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Customer Communication:
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cConfiguration\u201d \u2192 \u201cCustomer Communication\u201d.<\/p>\n

Using this feature of CheddarGetter we can communicate with our customers through email for several activities like New Subscription, Subscription Change, Bill Reminder etc. We can customize that entire facility, for any particular service we can enable or disable the email notification, email subject, body etc.<\/p>\n

4. Service Hooks:
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cConfiguration\u201d \u2192 \u201cService Hooks\u201d.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of the most important <\/span>features<\/span> of CheddarGetter. It allows you to use \u201cCustom URL\u201d facility of Service Hooks. When the Custom URL service hook is enabled, CheddarGetter sends HTTP POST data to the URL when various events occur in CheddarGetter. Here we have to specify our listener URL and services. If any activity\/service is performed which is mentioned in Selected list CheddarGetter send HTTP POST request to your specified custom URL. You can create more than one \u201cCustom URL Hook\u201d as per your need and enable and disable them.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"custom_url\"<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sample Code to Handle Service Hooks:<\/b><\/p>\n

@RequestMapping(value = “activity”, method = RequestMethod.POST)
\n@ResponseBody<\/span><\/p>\n

public void activity(HttpEntity<String> httpEntity) {
\n<\/span>ResponseDTO responseDTO = new ResponseDTO(false);
\nMap<String, Object> jsonMap = validatedRequestJson(httpEntity);
\n<\/span>if (jsonMap != null) {
\n<\/span>if (jsonMap.containsKey(“activityType”)) {<\/span><\/p>\n

ActivityType activityType = ActivityType.findByValue(jsonMap.get(“activityType”).toString());
\nif (activityType != null) {
\nswitch (activityType) {
\ncase “newSubscription”:
\nresponseDTO = newSubscription(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ncase “subscriptionChanged”:
\nresponseDTO = subscriptionChanged(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ncase “subscriptionCanceled”:
\nresponseDTO = subscriptionCanceled(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ncase “subscriptionReactivated”:
\nresponseDTO = subscriptionReactivated(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ncase “customerDeleted”:
\nresponseDTO = customerDeleted(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ncase “transaction”:
\nresponseDTO = transaction(jsonMap);
\nbreak;
\ndefault:
\nSystem.out.println(“ACTIVITY <” + jsonMap.get(“activityType”) + “> IS NOT RECOGNISED”);
\n}
\n}
\n}
\n}
\n}<\/p>\n
