Zero-Code Connectors - Revtain

For Chargebee, Recurly, Stripe Billing, Braintree Subscriptions, Zuora, and Shopify subscriptions via ReCharge, Revtain provides direct connectors that require no code on your side. Paste a single webhook URL into your billing platform settings — Revtain handles everything.

How Connectors Work

Going live takes two phases. Revtain runs the first. You run the second — and it takes about five minutes.

Phase 1 — Revtain provisions your account

Share your billing platform and payment gateway details with the Revtain team. Revtain provisions your account, generates your credentials, and builds your webhook URL — typically the same business day. This step is hands-off: no forms to fill in, no configuration to write. You receive your API key, your webhook signing secret, and a webhook URL with your client ID embedded.

Phase 2 — Paste one URL

1

Open your billing platform's webhook settings

The webhooks (or notifications) section of your Chargebee, Recurly, Stripe, Braintree, Zuora, or ReCharge dashboard.

2

Paste your Revtain webhook URL

Add the URL from your credentials and select the relevant payment failure event (e.g., payment_failed).

3

Done — Revtain handles the rest

On every failed payment, Revtain extracts the gateway token, runs the recovery engine, and marks the invoice paid on success.

Your only task is pasting one URL. No webhook handler to write, no API calls to make, no code to deploy.

On success, captures the charge in ReCharge so the subscription stays active

Multi-Gateway Recovery for Connector Clients

If you have more than one gateway configured in your billing platform, Revtain’s connectors put that to work. Every recovery that doesn’t succeed through your primary processing path gets a second attempt through your platform’s own routing — using whatever alternative gateways or merchant accounts you have wired in. For multi-gateway clients on Chargebee and Recurly, this means a decline that can’t be resolved on the primary processing path gets one more attempt through a secondary path before the recovery is marked as failed. No additional setup on your side — if a second gateway is configured in your billing platform, the escalation runs automatically as part of every connector-handled recovery.

This is a connector-only benefit. API-integrated clients control their own escalation path — Revtain returns the result of the retry and you decide whether to route the failed invoice elsewhere.

Connector vs. API Integration

	Connector (Recommended)	API Integration
Code required	None — paste one URL	Webhook handler + API calls
Setup time	5 minutes	30-60 minutes
Invoice reconciliation	Automatic	Manual (in your webhook handler)
Available for	Chargebee, Recurly, Stripe Billing, Braintree, Zuora, Shopify (ReCharge)	Any billing system
Customisation	Standard recovery flow	Full control

Using a different billing platform? Use the API integration — Revtain works with any system that can make HTTP calls.
