Why teams connect Affinity and Zuora

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Zuora 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. Zuora 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 Payment, Usage, Order and Amendment, Account (Billing Account) in Zuora to Persons, Organizations, Opportunities, Field Values 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 Master the Product Catalog (Products and Product Rate Plans) in a database or PIM and write pricing changes into Zuora.
  • 02 Stream metered Usage records from a warehouse or metering pipeline into Zuora so consumption-based charges are rated on the correct Rate Plan.
  • 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.
