Why teams connect Bill and Braintree

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Bill and Braintree 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 Vendors, Invoices, Customers, Payments in Bill with Add-ons and Discounts, Merchant Accounts and Disbursements, Customers, Transactions in Braintree 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 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 Mirror Subscription lifecycle changes (active, past_due, canceled) driven by Braintree webhooks into an operational database that gates product access.
  • 04 Sync Braintree Customers and their vaulted Payment Methods into Postgres or a warehouse so finance and product teams query billing profiles with plain SQL.

Common sync patterns

Parallel run during a migration

When one system is replacing the other, keep both live and matching through the cutover, so no transaction falls between the last export and go-live.

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.

What you can sync between Bill 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.

Bill objects Braintree objects How this pairing syncs
Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. Customers Vaulted customer profiles that hold payment methods; created and updated two-way via the API and searchable by created/updated date range. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
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. Plans Recurring billing plans (price, billing cycle) configured in the Control Panel; readable through the API but not creatable, so they sync one-way. Bills is specific to Bill and Plans to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Disputes Chargebacks with evidence and deadlines; ops teams can respond and add evidence via the API, and dispute webhooks push status changes to downstream tools. Vendors is specific to Bill and Disputes to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. Add-ons and Discounts Modifiers applied to Subscriptions; defined in the Control Panel and read alongside subscription state when mirroring billing data. Invoices is specific to Bill and Add-ons and Discounts to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Merchant Accounts and Disbursements The accounts funds settle into plus settlement batches paid out; disbursement webhooks and settlement batch reports drive reconciliation feeds. Payments is specific to Bill and Merchant Accounts and Disbursements to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. 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. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Transactions to Braintree — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill 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.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • 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.
