Why teams connect Akeneo and Bill

Turn every Akeneo order into clean revenue: Bill and Akeneo keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Bill records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.

Stacksync syncs Bills, Vendors, Invoices, Customers in Bill with Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products in Akeneo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Akeneo, its paid-or-overdue state from Bill — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read approved Bills and their line items into a Postgres warehouse for spend, accrual, and cash-flow reporting without CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 03 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 04 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Refunds and credits reconcile

Refunds, cancellations, and credit notes raised in either system update the corresponding record in the other, keeping balances honest on both sides.

Where Akeneo originates orders: sales flow into the books

A new or updated order in Akeneo creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Bill, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

Where Bill is the money system of record: payment status on the order

Paid, overdue, and refunded state from Bill lands on the order or account in Akeneo, so the store and support see what has actually been collected.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Bill

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.

Akeneo objects Bill objects How this pairing syncs
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Chart of Accounts to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Products is specific to Akeneo and Bank Accounts to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Vendor Credits and Credit Memos to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Bills Accounts-payable amounts owed to vendors, with bill line items; read and created via /v3/bills and pulled incrementally by filtering on createdTime/updatedTime. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Bills to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Vendors to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Invoices to Bill — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Bill

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.

Akeneo Bill Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

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

Bill Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.

How the Akeneo and Bill connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities

Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

Bill

Integration surface
REST/JSON (BILL v3 Connect API)
Authentication
Session-based: POST /v3/login with username, password, organizationId, and a developer key (devKey) returns a sessionId that is passed with the devKey as headers on every subsequent call; OAuth is available for partner/embedded apps
Change detection
Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on createdTime/updatedTime list filters as the fallback
Capabilities

20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
