Why teams connect Google Sheets and Recurly

Connect the financial records in Recurly with the work happening in Google Sheets, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

Recurly holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Google Sheets is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions, Plans in Recurly and Sheets (tabs), Rows, Ranges, Named ranges in Google Sheets in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Google Sheets keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with Recurly is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • 01 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 02 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 03 Reconcile finance or billing exports against system-of-record data in one collaborative surface.
  • 04 Prototype an integration by syncing a sheet before committing to a database schema.

Common sync patterns

Where Google Sheets handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from Recurly next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

Where Google Sheets collects payments or triggers charges: events land in Recurly

Payment and charge activity flows into Recurly as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Google Sheets tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

What you can sync between Google Sheets 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.

Google Sheets objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Spreadsheets The file-level container a sync connects to, identified by spreadsheet ID. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Spreadsheets is specific to Google Sheets and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sheets (tabs) Individual worksheets, typically mapped one-to-one to a synced table. Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Sheets (tabs) is specific to Google Sheets and Transactions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Rows Treated as records; a header row usually defines field names. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Rows is specific to Google Sheets and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ranges Addressed in A1 notation for batched reads and writes. Coupons and Redemptions Discount definitions and their application to accounts and subscriptions; read for discount and promotion analysis. Ranges is specific to Google Sheets and Coupons and Redemptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Named ranges Stable references that keep sync mappings valid when the grid moves. Billing Info Tokenized payment method (card/ACH) on an account; written when onboarding customers and read for payment-health signals (never stores raw card numbers). Named ranges is specific to Google Sheets and Billing Info to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cell values Untyped by default, so syncs handle type coercion for dates and numbers. Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Cell values is specific to Google Sheets and Measured Units and Usage to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Sheets 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.

Google Sheets Recurly Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Google Sheets for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Sheets: Subject to per-minute read and write quotas per project and per user, so large syncs are batched.
  • 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.
