Why teams connect Affinity and Braintree

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Braintree 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. Braintree 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 Customers, Transactions, Payment Methods, Subscriptions in Braintree to Reminders, Lists, List Entries, Persons 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 Push Dispute (chargeback) records into a ticketing tool or database so ops teams track evidence deadlines and win rates.
  • 02 Mirror Subscription lifecycle changes (active, past_due, canceled) driven by Braintree webhooks into an operational database that gates product access.
  • 03 Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
  • 04 Sync notes and reminders into project or task systems used outside the deal team.

Common sync patterns

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

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

Payment status on the account

Invoice and payment status from Braintree appears on the account in Affinity, so reps see overdue balances before they promise the next order.

Billing detail changes flow back

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

What you can sync between Affinity and Braintree

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.

Affinity objects Braintree objects How this pairing syncs
Opportunities Deal records tracked on lists and synced with pipeline reporting. Merchant Accounts and Disbursements The accounts funds settle into plus settlement batches paid out; disbursement webhooks and settlement batch reports drive reconciliation feeds. Opportunities is specific to Affinity and Merchant Accounts and Disbursements to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Customers Vaulted customer profiles that hold payment methods; created and updated two-way via the API and searchable by created/updated date range. Field Values is specific to Affinity and Customers to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Transactions Sales, refunds, and credits; created through the API but immutable after that (only void/refund/settle transitions), so syncs treat them as append-only with status changes. Notes is specific to Affinity and Transactions to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Payment Methods Tokenized credit cards, PayPal accounts, and other instruments stored in the Vault against a Customer; only tokens, last-four, and expiry are exposed, never raw PAN. Interactions is specific to Affinity and Payment Methods to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Subscriptions Recurring billing agreements tied to a Plan and a Payment Method; created, updated, and canceled via the API and emitting webhooks on every lifecycle change. Reminders is specific to Affinity and Subscriptions to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Plans Recurring billing plans (price, billing cycle) configured in the Control Panel; readable through the API but not creatable, so they sync one-way. Lists is specific to Affinity and Plans to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Affinity and Braintree

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.

Affinity Braintree Sub-second propagation

DetectionAffinity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling.

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

Braintree Affinity Sub-second propagation

DetectionBraintree notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (subscription, transaction, dispute, disbursement, payment method, account updater) for near-real-time events, plus created/updated.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Affinity: Subject to the platform's published API rate limits.
  • Braintree: No published hard rate limits; Braintree may throttle traffic it deems abusive and returns HTTP 429, and its docs recommend webhooks over polling with a 60-second request timeout.
