Add sample data in a custom data source – Help Center

With a custom data source, you can add customers and subscription billing data into ChartMogul through the user interface or via an API integration.

To get familiar with how a custom data source works, you can create a new data source with sample data. You can play around with the sample data and see how it impacts your MRR, cash flows, and other metrics. Once you get familiar with the various possibilities a custom data source offers, you can easily remove that data from your account.

The columns and the data you need to include for each section of a custom data source is explained in this article.

For new trial users, we pre-populate a custom data source with the sample data. To delete this data source, please refer to the "Deleting sample data" section.
