Installation

Composer

Chargebee is available on Packagist and can be installed using Composer

composer require chargebee/chargebee-php

To use the bindings,

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

Usage

To create a new subscription:

use Chargebee\ChargebeeClient;

$chargebee = new ChargebeeClient(options: [
    "site" => "{your_site}",
    "apiKey" => "{your_apiKey}",
]);

$result = $chargebee->subscription()->createWithItems("customer_id", [
    "subscription_items" => [
        [
            "item_price_id" => "Montly-Item",
            "quantity" => "3",
        ]
    ]
]);
$subscription = $result->subscription;
$customer = $result->customer;

Create an idempotent request

Idempotency keys are passed along with request headers to allow a safe retry of POST requests.

use Chargebee\ChargebeeClient;

$chargebee = new ChargebeeClient(options: [
    "site" => "{your_site}",
    "apiKey" => "{your_apiKey}",
]);
$responseCustomer = $chargebee->customer()->create([
    "first_name" => "John",
    "last_name" => "Doe",
    "email" => "[e-mail]",
    "card" => [
        "first_name" => "Joe",
        "last_name" => "Doe",
        "number" => "4012888888881881",
        "expiry_month" => "10",
        "expiry_year" => "29",
        "cvv" => "231"
        ]
    ],
    [
        "chargebee-idempotency-key" => "<<UUID>>" // Replace <<UUID>> with a unique string
    ]
);
$responseHeaders = $responseCustomer->getResponseHeaders(); // Retrieves response headers
print_r($responseHeaders);
$idempotencyReplayedValue = $responseCustomer->isIdempotencyReplayed(); // Retrieves Idempotency replayed header value
print_r($idempotencyReplayedValue);

isIdempotencyReplayed() method can be accessed to differentiate between original and replayed requests.
