Why teams connect Adyen and Okta

Keep the people who can act on financial records in Adyen matched to their identities in Okta, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.

Adyen runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Okta is where those people and their access actually live: who is employed, what team they belong to, and what they are allowed to do. The two systems rarely share customers or transactions, but they share the one thing that governs both — the user. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a departed employee keeps finance access for weeks and a new hire waits on a ticket to get any.

Stacksync keeps Payment Links, Merchant Accounts, Stores, Users and API Credentials in Adyen aligned with Applications, Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies in Okta, field by field and in real time. A person added, moved, or deactivated on the identity side updates their matching user in the finance system within seconds, with the role or permission set mapped from the group they belong to. Direction is yours to set: lead provisioning from the directory, or let an HR-owned finance record drive the downstream accounts.

For a finance team, that alignment is an audit control rather than a convenience. When the user list in the books matches the identity source of truth, segregation-of-duties and access reviews start from data that is already correct instead of an export that was current last quarter.

Common use cases

  • 01 Ingest AUTHORISATION, CAPTURE, REFUND, and CHARGEBACK webhooks into Postgres or a warehouse so finance reconciles Adyen settlements against orders in an ERP without manual report exports.
  • 02 Trigger a capture, refund, or cancel on an Adyen payment when an order's state changes in a CRM, OMS, or ERP, and write the returned pspReference and status back onto the record.
  • 03 Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.
  • 04 Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.

Common sync patterns

Access reviews backed by live data

Because the user list in Adyen matches the identity source in Okta in real time, access certifications and SOX-style reviews start from current membership rather than a stale spreadsheet.

People attributes for allocation and approvals

Department, manager, and employee identifiers carried in Okta flow to Adyen, so expense routing, cost-center allocation, and approval chains use the same org data as the directory.

Where Okta is the identity source: offboarding reaches the books

When a person is deactivated in Okta, their matching user in Adyen is disabled in the same motion, so departed employees keep no standing access to financial records.

What you can sync between Adyen and Okta

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Adyen objects Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Payment Links Hosted payment link objects created through /paymentLinks; created, retrieved, and expired, with paid or expired status reported back through webhooks for accounts-receivable sync. Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Payment Links is specific to Adyen and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Merchant Accounts Company and merchant account entities in the Management API; read and updated to keep account configuration, payment-method settings, and capabilities aligned with internal systems. System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Merchant Accounts is specific to Adyen and System Log to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stores Physical and online store entities under a merchant account (Management API); full CRUD, so new locations and their payment-method configuration can be provisioned from an internal admin source. Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Stores is specific to Adyen and Devices to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and API Credentials Customer Area users and API-credential objects managed via the Management API; created, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Adyen access aligned with an IdP or HR source. Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Users and API Credentials is specific to Adyen and Users to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Webhook Configurations Per-company or per-merchant webhook subscriptions (Management API); created, listed, and updated to control which events Adyen sends and to which endpoint and HMAC key. Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Webhook Configurations is specific to Adyen and Groups to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Settlement Detail Reports Downloadable reports of settled transactions, fees, and payouts per merchant account; read-only, delivered when a report webhook fires, and loaded for finance reconciliation. Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Settlement Detail Reports is specific to Adyen and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adyen and Okta

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Adyen Okta Sub-second propagation

DetectionAdyen notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Standard webhooks for payment events (AUTHORISATION, CAPTURE, REFUND, CHARGEBACK, and more) plus Management, Balance Platform, and report webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Okta through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Okta Adyen Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Adyen through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adyen: Adyen does not publish fixed numeric rate limits; excessive requests return HTTP 429, and the Management API reports 'too many requests' in the error detail. Adyen recommends exponential backoff, and no rate-limit response headers are documented.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
