Why teams connect Ramp and Recurly

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Ramp 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 Bills, Vendors, Funds (Spend Controls), General Ledger Accounts in Ramp with Transactions, Line Items, Coupons and Redemptions, Billing Info 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 Mirror Bills and their approval and payment state into an AP or ERP system, marking each one ready-to-sync then synced to keep both ledgers reconciled.
  • 02 Read Reimbursements into a finance database for cross-entity expense reporting and reconciliation without manual CSV exports.
  • 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

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.

Where Ramp issues invoices and Recurly holds the books

Invoices and payments recorded on the billing side land in the system of record automatically, so revenue is captured once and correctly.

What you can sync between Ramp 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.

Ramp objects Recurly objects How this pairing syncs
Transactions Card purchase records with merchant, amount, and state; read for spend/GL sync and written back via accounting codings and sync status. 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.
Users Employee and cardholder records; invited, updated, and deactivated, commonly synced from an HRIS or identity provider. Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Users is specific to Ramp and Accounts to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments Org groupings for cost-center and GL allocation; pushed from an ERP/HRIS and referenced by cards and transactions. 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. Departments is specific to Ramp and Subscriptions to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reimbursements Out-of-pocket expense claims; read for reporting and marked ready-to-sync then synced to the ERP. Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Reimbursements is specific to Ramp and Plans to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills Accounts-payable bills; created, updated, approved, and paid, then posted ready-to-sync and synced to accounting. Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Bills is specific to Ramp and Invoices to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Supplier records under the accounting namespace; uploaded and updated for AP matching and payments. Line Items One-time charges and credits on an account outside a subscription; synced for accurate revenue and adjustment reporting. Vendors is specific to Ramp and Line Items to Recurly — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ramp 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.

Ramp Recurly Sub-second propagation

DetectionRamp notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ramp: 200 requests per 10-second rolling window per source IP; exceeding it returns 429 Too Many Requests, and requests running over 60 seconds return 504. Results use keyset pagination (follow the page.next URL / start cursor); higher limits can be requested from support.
  • 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.

How the Ramp and Recurly connectors work

Ramp

Integration surface
REST API (Developer API v1)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0: exchange client_id/client_secret (HTTP Basic) at api.ramp.com/developer/v1/token for scoped bearer tokens; client_credentials grant for server-to-server and authorization_code for user-delegated access; scopes follow resource:permission (e.g. transactions:read, bills:write, accounting:write).
Change detection
Signed webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 X-Ramp-Signature) for bill, transaction, reimbursement, vendor, and user events; otherwise poll incrementally (synced_after on transactions, from_created_at on bills) with keyset pagination, or read the audit-logs/events feed.
