Unlock the power of Chargebee’s Time Machine — a dynamic simulation tool designed to help teams confidently test and validate billing workflows before going live.

In this video, you'll learn how to:

• Dive back into your billing test environment with confidence — whether it's dunning, consolidated invoicing, subscription status transitions, scheduled subscription actions, webhooks, and more.

• Step through potential future scenarios without waiting in real time — fast-forward to future dates to proactively check subscription behavior, invoice generation, payment retries, and failures.

• Navigate the feature smoothly:

  • Go to Settings → Configure Chargebee → Time Machine

  • Pick test scenarios (Blank Slate, Dunning, Subscription States, Consolidated Invoices, Scheduled Actions, Invoicing Features)

  • Set how far back to travel (options like six months, one year, etc.)

  • Launch the simulation

• Understand the trade-offs: entering Time Machine clears your test-site data (so back it up beforehand), limits you to forward travel only (no backwards from your chosen start point), and supports limited data volumes (up to 5 subscriptions/customers).

This visual walkthrough equips you with the strategy to validate billing logic, perfect subscription lifecycles, and optimize dunning processes — all within a sandboxed, risk‑free environment.
