Chargedesk

Chargedesk

Unified billing management platform that aggregates data from multiple payment providers (Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, etc.) into a single dashboard. Authenticated via HTTP Basic (username + password). All four listing endpoints support pagination with offset (cursor) and count (default 500).

Capability areas

• Charges — list all financial transactions across connected payment providers. Each charge includes amount, status, date, and source provider.
• Customers — list customer records with contact information, account status, and associated billing data.
• Products — list available products with pricing and descriptions.
• Subscriptions — list active, pending, and expired subscriptions with status, billing cycle, and customer association.

Workflows

• Billing reconciliation: list charges to review all transactions across payment providers, then list customers to match charges to accounts.
• Subscription audit: list subscriptions to identify expiring, past-due, or cancelled subscriptions that need attention.
• Customer support: list customers to find an account, then list charges filtered to that customer's transactions for dispute or refund investigation.
• Product inventory: list products to review current catalog and pricing across all connected payment providers.

Gotchas

• Multi-provider aggregation: Chargedesk unifies data from multiple payment providers. Charges, customers, and subscriptions may originate from different underlying systems (Stripe, Braintree, etc.).
• Large page default: count defaults to 500, which is much larger than most APIs. Reduce for faster responses or when you only need a sample.
• Pagination: offset is a cursor token, not a numeric offset. Pass the value from the previous response to page forward.
• Read-only: the current toolset supports listing only. Creating, modifying, or refunding charges requires the source payment provider's API directly.
