Why teams connect Affinity and Bill

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Bill and Affinity in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Affinity knows the relationship: who the contacts are and what is in motion with the account. Bill knows the money: what was invoiced, what was paid, what is overdue. When the two are connected only by exports, each side works partly blind.

Stacksync links Vendor Credits and Credit Memos, Bills, Vendors, Invoices in Bill to Opportunities, Field Values, Notes, Interactions in Affinity with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, updated billing details, invoice status, and payment activity move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. The result is one version of each customer, visible from both sides.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
  • 02 Read approved Bills and their line items into a Postgres warehouse for spend, accrual, and cash-flow reporting without CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.
  • 04 Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

When a contact or address is corrected in Affinity, Bill gets the update before the next invoice goes out.

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Affinity when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Affinity tracks deals: closed-won creates the finance record

A won opportunity creates or updates the customer in Bill with the right billing details, so invoicing starts without re-keying.
