    It's possible to access an external web service from both plugin code and javascript, however, plugins fire on the server while javascript runs client side. The only way to launch a plugin from Javascript is to call the CRM web service from the script, and do some sort of operation on a record  which fires the plugin, but that approach is just queer.

    What do you need to accomplish? If you're more specific, it's easier to tell you the right approach

    Yo don't need javascript at all. Plugin is registered on server-side messages in CRM. Those messages are CRUD-operations and some more. If you register your plugin correctly, your plugin will execute a record changes state or values in CRM, depending on which message you register it for.

    However, be aware that there's no such thing as atomic transactions in CRM. If your plugin  or billing server for some reasons fails, you will face problems with having different sets of data on each system. If that's a critical issue, you should take a loosely coupled approach between the two systems.
