Exporting Data

You can export Subscription, Customer, and Transaction data to a CSV file. Simply visit each tab in the UI and look for the “Export” link. After creating an export, the user who initiated it will receive a notification in-app and via email when the export is ready for download. You can also use our API to extract data.

Your notification settings can be updated at: https://app.chargify.com/notification/settings/edit

If you would like to include components in subscription exports, you will need to enable this via the Settings tab here. Simply enable the checkbox, and all future exports of the subscriptions CSV document will include this additional data. At present, this is only available for the Subscriptions export.

Export Time Length

In every scenario, Chargify attempts to generate reports as quickly as possible. There are lots of factors that affect how quickly exports are generated within Chargify. Specifically, the number of merchants exporting reports can affect report generation.

In the event that a report is running slower than anticipated, we encourage you to be patient. In the event that an export fails or does not complete within 30 minutes, please contact our support team here.

Locating Exports

If you are exporting multiple items, or would like to refer to previously exported data, Chargify stores a list of your recent exports.

Simply click the gear in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard and select ‘Downloads’ from the list.

When you select the Downloads option, you’ll see a list of your recent exports. Additionally, you can elect to re-download your exports or remove them from the list.
