Why teams connect Bill and Couchbase

Work with Bill's financial data straight from Couchbase: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Invoices, Customers, Payments, Chart of Accounts from Bill into Full-text search indexes, Buckets, Scopes, Collections in Couchbase and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Couchbase, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Bill with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Customers and Invoices from BILL AR into a CRM or ERP so sales and finance see billing and payment status on the account.
  • 02 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
  • 03 Write cleaned or enriched records from operational databases back into Couchbase collections that applications read.
  • 04 Sync Couchbase JSON documents into Postgres or a warehouse where analysts work with flattened relational tables.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Bill live in Couchbase as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Couchbase; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Bill.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in Couchbase propagate into Bill, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Bill and Couchbase

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 Couchbase objects How this pairing syncs
Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Payments is specific to Bill and Full-text search indexes to Couchbase — 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. Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Buckets to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Scopes to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Credits and Credit Memos AP and AR adjustments applied against bills and invoices; synced so balances stay accurate on both sides. Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Vendor Credits and Credit Memos is specific to Bill and Collections to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Bills is specific to Bill and JSON Documents to Couchbase — 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. Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Vendors is specific to Bill and Global Secondary Indexes to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bill and Couchbase

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 Couchbase 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 applied to Couchbase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Couchbase Bill Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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.
  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
