Why teams connect Braintree and Recurly

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Braintree and Recurly 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 Plans, Disputes, Add-ons and Discounts, Merchant Accounts and Disbursements in Braintree with Plans, Invoices, Transactions, Line Items in Recurly 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 Push Dispute (chargeback) records into a ticketing tool or database so ops teams track evidence deadlines and win rates.
  • 02 Mirror Subscription lifecycle changes (active, past_due, canceled) driven by Braintree webhooks into an operational database that gates product access.
  • 03 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 04 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.

Common sync patterns

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.

Entity or business-unit roll-up

Where each system serves a different entity or unit, sync the shared records so group-level reporting starts from consistent data.

What you can sync between Braintree and Recurly

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 Recurly 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. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Plans Recurring billing plans (price, billing cycle) configured in the Control Panel; readable through the API but not creatable, so they sync one-way. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Add-ons and Discounts Modifiers applied to Subscriptions; defined in the Control Panel and read alongside subscription state when mirroring billing data. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Add-ons and Discounts is specific to Braintree and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Merchant Accounts and Disbursements The accounts funds settle into plus settlement batches paid out; disbursement webhooks and settlement batch reports drive reconciliation feeds. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Merchant Accounts and Disbursements is specific to Braintree and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Vaulted customer profiles that hold payment methods; created and updated two-way via the API and searchable by created/updated date range. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Customers is specific to Braintree and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braintree and Recurly

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

Recurly Braintree Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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.
  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
