Why teams connect Navan and Stripe

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Navan and Stripe 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 Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users, Card Transactions in Navan with Events, Customers, PaymentIntents, Charges in Stripe 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 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 02 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 03 Reconcile invoices, payouts, and balance transactions into a warehouse or ERP for month-end close
  • 04 Keep the product and price catalog aligned between Stripe and an internal database that other systems read

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 Navan and Stripe

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.

Navan objects Stripe objects How this pairing syncs
Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Disputes Chargebacks that support and finance teams track in their own tools. Connect Transactions is specific to Navan and Disputes to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Payouts Bank transfers reconciled against balance transactions during close. Manual Transactions is specific to Navan and Payouts to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Balance Transactions The ledger entries behind every money movement, the basis for reconciliation. Bookings is specific to Navan and Balance Transactions to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Events The change log; each state change is an Event retrievable via the API. Custom Fields is specific to Navan and Events to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Customers The billing identity most teams match against CRM accounts and contacts. Receipts is specific to Navan and Customers to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. PaymentIntents The lifecycle record of a payment attempt, from creation to success or failure. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments is specific to Navan and PaymentIntents to Stripe — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and Stripe

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.

Navan Stripe Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
  • Stripe: Subject to documented per-mode request rate limits; idempotency keys make retries safe.

How the Navan and Stripe connectors work

Navan

Integration surface
REST (Expense API and Booking API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
