Why teams connect Recurly and SAP Business ByDesign

Keep Recurly and SAP Business ByDesign agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Line Items, Coupons and Redemptions, Billing Info, Measured Units and Usage in Recurly with Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products, Purchase Orders in SAP Business ByDesign in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Post usage records to Measured Units on metered Subscriptions from a metering database before each bill run.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Sync ByDesign accounts and contacts with an external CRM so sales works outside the ERP while finance keeps the master record.
  • 04 Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.

Common sync patterns

Where Recurly handles billing: invoices land in SAP Business ByDesign

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

How changes propagate between Recurly and SAP Business ByDesign

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.

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

SAP Business ByDesign Recurly Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP Business ByDesign for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-changed timestamps.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
