Set up the Recurly integration

Explore our API integration with Recurly

Set up the Recurly integration to retrieve recurring billing and subscriptions data from your SMB customers.

Before you can use the integration, your SMB customers (merchants who use Recurly) need to retrieve their secure API credentials from their Recurly account and enter them in Link. Recurly does not require any global credentials for accessing the API.

To set up the integration, you perform these tasks:

• Enable the Recurly integration
• Create companies in Codat and then share the Link URL with your SMB customers

Next, the SMB customer performs this task:

• Connects their Recurly account to Codat

Enable the Recurly integration

1. In the Codat Portal, go to the Commerce integrations page.
2. Locate Recurly and click the toggle to enable the integration.

You can also click Manage to view the integration's settings page, and then enable the integration from there.

Create a company and share the Link URL with your SMB customers

In the Codat Portal:

1. Click Companies > New company.
2. In the Add new company dialog, enter a name for the company, then click Add. The Link URL is displayed.
3. Provide the Link URL to your SMB customers.
