Why teams connect Braintree and Close

Sync customers, invoices, and payment status between Braintree and Close in real time, so sales sees the money and finance sees the relationship.

Finance and sales describe the same customers in different systems. Close 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 Plans, Disputes, Add-ons and Discounts, Merchant Accounts and Disbursements in Braintree to Custom Activities, Custom Fields, Users, Smart Views in Close 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 Sync Braintree Customers and their vaulted Payment Methods into Postgres or a warehouse so finance and product teams query billing profiles with plain SQL.
  • 02 Stream settled Transactions, refunds, and disbursements into a data warehouse for revenue recognition and daily reconciliation against the ERP ledger.
  • 03 Sync Close leads and opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse for pipeline reporting outside Close's built-in reports.
  • 04 Two-way sync between Close and a billing or ERP system so closed-won opportunities create customers and invoices automatically.

Common sync patterns

Billing detail changes flow back

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

Collections with context

Finance sees the account owner and relationship history from Close when chasing a balance, and sales sees that the chase is happening.

Where Close 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.

What you can sync between Braintree and Close

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.

Braintree objects Close objects How this pairing syncs
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. Smart Views Saved lead searches that can scope which records a segment-based sync pulls. Transactions is specific to Braintree and Smart Views to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Leads The top-level record in Close; represents a company and holds its contacts, opportunities, and activity history. Payment Methods is specific to Braintree and Leads to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Contacts People nested under a lead, with emails and phone numbers used for outreach syncs. Subscriptions is specific to Braintree and Contacts to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Plans Recurring billing plans (price, billing cycle) configured in the Control Panel; readable through the API but not creatable, so they sync one-way. Opportunities Deal records with value, confidence, and status; commonly synced to reporting and billing systems. Plans is specific to Braintree and Opportunities to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Activities Calls, emails, SMS, notes, and meetings logged against a lead; the source for engagement analytics. Disputes is specific to Braintree and Activities to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Add-ons and Discounts Modifiers applied to Subscriptions; defined in the Control Panel and read alongside subscription state when mirroring billing data. Tasks Follow-up items assigned to users; synced for workload and SLA reporting. Add-ons and Discounts is specific to Braintree and Tasks to Close — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braintree and Close

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.

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

Close Braintree Sub-second propagation

DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.
