Why teams connect Braintree and Success Factors

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Braintree and Success Factors share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.

Braintree runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Success Factors runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.

Stacksync syncs Add-ons and Discounts, Merchant Accounts and Disbursements, Customers, Transactions in Braintree with EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone in Success Factors bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream settled Transactions, refunds, and disbursements into a data warehouse for revenue recognition and daily reconciliation against the ERP ledger.
  • 02 Create and update Customers and Subscriptions from a CRM or billing app when a deal closes or a plan changes, writing back to Braintree.
  • 03 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.
  • 04 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.

Common sync patterns

One employee identity

A person's name, ID, or contact details corrected in either system update the other, so finance and HR reference the same person instead of maintaining two versions.

Department and cost-center alignment

The org structure maintained in Success Factors keeps the departments or cost centers in Braintree current, so spend and headcount roll up the same way.

Status changes propagate

A role, department, or employment-status change in either system updates the other within seconds, so cost allocation, access, and reporting reflect the current state.

What you can sync between Braintree and Success Factors

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 Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
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. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Disputes is specific to Braintree and Position to Success Factors — 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. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Add-ons and Discounts is specific to Braintree and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — 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. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Merchant Accounts and Disbursements is specific to Braintree and User to Success Factors — 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. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Customers is specific to Braintree and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Transactions is specific to Braintree and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — 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. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Payment Methods is specific to Braintree and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Braintree and Success Factors

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

Success Factors Braintree Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.

How the Braintree and Success Factors connectors work

Braintree
