Real-time Events

Stripe data is translated to NetSuite in real-time by processing events (webhooks) in your Stripe account.


The table below details how various real-time events are handled by the integration. To learn what causes these events in Stripe, check out the Stripe webhooks documentation.

A Note on High Volume Accounts

It's possible for a Stripe account processes a higher volume of transactions than a NetSuite instance can ingest. This is due to the limited number of NetSuite concurrent connections. By default a NetSuite account is alloted 5 concurrent connections, though there are options to increase this number by moving service tiers. The rule of thumb for realtime transaction processing through the integration is 500 transactions per day per connection.

If your Stripe account is processing more transactions than your NetSuite instance concurrent connections can manage, there is an option to reduce the number of events/webhooks that are synced to Netsuite. This option removes the realtime processing of the integration but still ensures that every transaction is reconciled in NetSuite on a daily basis. The account would be reconciled once per day at the time of the payout being sent. Note that with this setting all manual invoices are still synced in realtime. If you're interested in this option, please reach out to our support team to find out more information.
