Why teams connect Adyen and Workday

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Adyen and Workday share consistent in real time, whether the two systems split your finance stack or one is replacing the other.

Two finance systems in one company usually means one of two setups. Either the systems divide the work, with one issuing invoices or serving a business unit while the other holds the books, or one is on its way out and both must stay accurate during the transition. In both cases, the customer, invoice, and payment records the two systems share start to drift the moment updates are keyed twice or moved by hand.

Stacksync syncs Stores, Users and API Credentials, Webhook Configurations, Settlement Detail Reports in Adyen with Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices in Workday bi-directionally and in real time. A record created or corrected in either system appears in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most at close. When both systems agree on who was billed, what was paid, and what is outstanding, reconciliation stops being a hunt for which copy of the truth is current.

Common use cases

  • 01 Provision Stores, Users, and API credentials through the Management API from an internal admin app or IdP so new locations and staff get the right Adyen access automatically.
  • 02 Load Settlement Detail Reports into a warehouse to break out fees, interchange, and net payouts by merchant account for finance and treasury reporting.
  • 03 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 04 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

A customer's name, billing details, or payment terms corrected in either system update the other immediately, so the next invoice always uses current information.

Payment status everywhere

A payment applied in one system updates the matching invoice in the other, so no one chases a balance that was already settled.

Entity or business-unit roll-up

Where each system serves a different entity or unit, sync the shared records so group-level reporting starts from consistent data.

What you can sync between Adyen and Workday

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 Workday objects How this pairing syncs
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. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Webhook Configurations is specific to Adyen and Compensation to Workday — 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. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Settlement Detail Reports is specific to Adyen and Time Off and Absence to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payments Checkout API payment requests and results (/payments); created to authorize a card, wallet, or local payment, and retrieved by pspReference. Final state arrives asynchronously via the AUTHORISATION webhook. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Payments is specific to Adyen and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Modifications (Captures, Refunds, Cancels) Actions on an authorized payment via /payments/{pspReference}/captures, /refunds, and /cancels; written to settle, return, or void funds, with results confirmed by CAPTURE and REFUND webhooks. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Modifications (Captures, Refunds, Cancels) is specific to Adyen and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Payment Links is specific to Adyen and Customers and Invoices to Workday — 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. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Merchant Accounts is specific to Adyen and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adyen and Workday

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 Workday 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 Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Workday Adyen Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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.
