Overview
Moving from ChartMogul to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a model-transformation migration. ChartMogul separates subscription analytics from its CRM by using a parent Customer record linked to one or more child Data Source Customer records, each tied to a billing connector like Stripe or Chargebee. Salesforce has no native subscription analytics layer, so we decompose ChartMogul's two-level model into Account-Contact hierarchies, migrate invoice history as custom objects or attachments, and recalculate MRR movements using Opportunity records and custom fields in Salesforce. We preserve ChartMogul's tags and custom attributes on Account records, import open opportunities and tasks, and map call logs and notes to Salesforce Task and ContentNote records. ChartMogul's transaction fee handling setting, its historical data scoping rules, and its 40 req/s API rate limit are all addressed in scoping before any extraction begins. Workflows, sequences, and forecast projections do not migrate; we deliver written inventories of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ChartMogul object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
ChartMogul
Customer (parent record)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1ChartMogul's parent Customer maps to Salesforce Account. The external_id on the parent Customer becomes the Account's Account Number or an external ID field for cross-reference. ChartMogul's Customer name becomes Account Name. Tags migrate as a multi-select picklist or custom tag field on Account. Custom attributes from the parent Customer map to custom fields on Account, using the API name as a suffix key (e.g., cm_mrr_tier__c). We create these custom fields during schema build before any data moves.
ChartMogul
Data Source Customer (child records)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:manyEach ChartMogul Data Source Customer (one per billing source: Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly) maps to a Salesforce Contact on the parent Account. If the same logical customer has multiple billing sources, we create one Contact per Data Source Customer with a custom field ds_source__c (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly) and ds_customer_id__c holding the billing platform's customer ID for cross-referencing. This preserves the multi-source stitching logic that drives ChartMogul's unified customer view.
ChartMogul
Subscription
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Subscription Object or Opportunity
lossyChartMogul Subscriptions have no direct Salesforce standard object. We create a custom Subscription__c object with fields for plan_id, status, quantity, billing_interval, mrr_amount__c, arr_amount__c, and billing_cycle_start__c. Active and trial subscriptions migrate as Subscription__c records linked to the Account or Contact. Cancelled subscriptions migrate with status=cancelled and cancellation_date__c for historical MRR movement attribution. If the customer prefers Opportunity-based subscription tracking, we create a Subscription Opportunity record type with MRR and ARR custom fields instead.
ChartMogul
Plan
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1ChartMogul Plan definitions (name, interval, amount, currency, trial period) map to Salesforce Product2 records. The ChartMogul plan_id becomes Product2 ProductCode. We create a Standard Pricebook entry during migration for each Plan so that Subscription Opportunity Line Items reference the correct Product2. Plan pricing history (past plan changes) migrates as separate Subscription records to preserve the MRR movement attribution.
ChartMogul
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Invoice__c Object or ContentDocument (PDF)
lossyChartMogul Invoices with line items, amounts, taxes, and transaction fees map to a custom Invoice__c object with Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Date__c, Total_Amount__c, Currency__c, Status__c, and a relationship to the parent Account or Contact. Each Invoice Line Item maps to Invoice_Line_Item__c with description, quantity, unit_price, and tax_amount. If ChartMogul PDFs are available via the API, we attach them to the Invoice__c record as ContentDocument. The customer chooses Invoice object versus attachment during scoping based on their Salesforce edition and reporting needs.
ChartMogul
Transaction
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Transaction__c Object
1:1ChartMogul Transactions (payments, refunds, chargebacks) map to a custom Transaction__c object linked to the Invoice__c record. We capture the transaction type (payment, refund, chargeback), amount, currency, date, and the fee handling flag. ChartMogul's transaction fee handling setting (which deducts fees for Google Play and PayPal) is read during scoping and applied consistently so that net amounts align with the MRR calculations in the destination. If fees were deducted at source, we store both gross and net amounts for accurate reporting.
ChartMogul
MRR Movement
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom MRR_Movement__c Object
lossyChartMogul calculates MRR movements (new business, expansion, contraction, churn, reactivation) from subscription state changes. We import these as MRR_Movement__c records with movement_type__c, amount_change__c, effective_date__c, and a lookup to the parent Account. This preserves the historical MRR waterfall even though Salesforce has no native subscription metrics engine. The customer rebuilds the MRR waterfall visualization in Salesforce Reports or CRM Analytics using these custom records.
ChartMogul
Opportunity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1ChartMogul CRM Opportunities (deal stages and amounts) migrate to Salesforce Opportunity. The ChartMogul opportunity stage maps to Salesforce StageName, and any ChartMogul deal pipelines map to Salesforce Sales Processes or Record Types that we configure during schema build. Opportunity amount, close date, owner, and probability migrate directly. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won reasons from ChartMogul become Salesforce Loss Reason and custom win_reason__c fields.
ChartMogul
Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1ChartMogul Tasks migrate to Salesforce Task. We map due dates, assignees (resolved via email to Salesforce User), completion status, and task subject and body. Open tasks migrate fully; completed tasks with no future action are optionally omitted to reduce import volume. Task status (completed, not completed) maps to Salesforce Task Status (Completed, Not Started).
ChartMogul
Note and Call Log
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note or ContentNote
1:1ChartMogul Notes and call logs migrate as Salesforce ContentNote (Lightning Experience rich text notes) linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Account or Contact. Call logs include call disposition and duration where available from ChartMogul, stored as custom fields on the Note record. Plain-text notes migrate as-is; any HTML formatting is stripped to plain text for Salesforce compatibility.
ChartMogul
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist on Account
lossyChartMogul tags are flat string labels on parent Customer records. We migrate them as a multi-select picklist field on Account. The tag set is extracted during scoping, deduplicated, and a picklist value set is created in Salesforce before migration. Tag counts are preserved in a custom field tag_count__c for segmentation filters. Customers with more than 500 distinct tags may choose a custom Tag_Category__c junction object for more flexible segmentation.
ChartMogul
Custom Attributes
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields on Account
lossyChartMogul Customer-level custom attributes migrate as custom fields on the Account object. We create fields during schema build using the attribute key as the field label and a sanitized API name (e.g., lead_source_detail__c). Attribute type (string, number, date, boolean) maps to the equivalent Salesforce field type. Attributes synced from Pipedrive or HubSpot via ChartMogul's CRM sync are flagged with a cm_origin__c label so the customer knows which attributes are CRM-sourced.

Migration approach
Discovery and billing source inventory
We audit the source ChartMogul account: parent Customer count, Data Source Customer count per billing source (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, PayPal), subscription count by status (active, trial, cancelled), invoice and transaction volume, tag set size, custom attribute key count, open opportunities and tasks, and any active ChartMogul CRM workflows or sequences. We also read the transaction fee handling setting and the multi-currency configuration. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a custom object schema recommendation for Subscription and Invoice objects in Salesforce, and the ChartMogul workflow and sequence inventory.
Schema design in Salesforce Sandbox
We design the destination schema in a Salesforce Sandbox. This includes creating custom objects (Subscription__c, Invoice__c, Transaction__c, MRR_Movement__c, Invoice_Line_Item__c) with all custom fields typed to match ChartMogul's data, adding multi-select picklist fields for tags on Account, adding ds_source__c and ds_customer_id__c fields on Contact, configuring Record Types and Sales Processes for migrated Opportunities, and setting up the ChartMogul-specific field mappings in our migration platform. Schema is validated in Sandbox before production migration begins.
ChartMogul extraction with rate-limit pacing
We extract all ChartMogul data using cursor-based pagination and 25ms inter-request delays to respect the 40 req/s rate limit. Parent Customers are extracted first, then Data Source Customers with their parent external_id references preserved. Subscriptions, Plans, Invoices, and Transactions are extracted in parallel batches. MRR movements are extracted with effective_date ordering for proper waterfall reconstruction. All extractions run during off-peak hours to maximize throughput within the rate limit ceiling.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts, Contacts, Subscriptions, Invoices, Transactions, MRR Movements, Opportunities, Tasks), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the ChartMogul source, and validates MRR movement totals against ChartMogul's export. Transaction fee handling alignment is verified. The customer signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any corrections happen here, not in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Account (from parent Customer), Contact (from Data Source Customer, with AccountId resolved), Product2 (from ChartMogul Plans), Pricebook entries, Subscription__c records (with AccountId and Product2 resolved), Invoice__c and Invoice_Line_Item__c records, Transaction__c records, MRR_Movement__c records, Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Tasks, and Notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner reconciliation resolves ChartMogul owner email to Salesforce User ID for all assigned records.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze ChartMogul writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the ChartMogul workflow and sequence inventory with recommended Salesforce Flow equivalents, the MRR_Movement__c reporting guide for rebuilding the MRR waterfall in Salesforce Reports, and the transaction fee handling configuration used during migration. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild ChartMogul Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
