Integrate Braintree payment processing with NetSuite. Automate payment reconciliation, refund management, and revenue posting from Braintree transactions.

NetSuite certified · Proven integration methodology · Ongoing support

The Braintree-NetSuite integration automates payment reconciliation between your payment processor and general ledger. Braintree transactions post as properly coded revenue entries, refunds create credit memos, and settlement reconciliation runs without manual spreadsheet matching.

Payment Processing Meets Your ERP

Braintree (a PayPal service) handles payment processing for e-commerce and marketplace businesses. NetSuite handles your accounting. The gap between them — reconciling Braintree transactions to your GL, matching refunds, and tracking settlement — is where manual work piles up.

At BrokenRubik, we build the integration that closes this gap. Braintree transactions flow into NetSuite as properly coded revenue entries, refunds create credit memos, and settlement reconciliation happens automatically.

What We Build

Transaction-to-Revenue Posting: Braintree sale transactions create customer payments or cash sale records in NetSuite. Each transaction maps to the correct customer, revenue account, and payment method. For high-volume e-commerce, this replaces the daily manual reconciliation process.

Refund and Chargeback Handling: Refunds processed in Braintree automatically create credit memos or customer refund records in NetSuite. Chargebacks create adjustment entries with the appropriate GL coding. Your finance team reviews and approves rather than manually entering each one.

Settlement Reconciliation: Braintree settles funds to your bank account in batches. The integration matches each settlement to the individual transactions it contains, creating a deposit record in NetSuite that ties the bank deposit to the underlying sales. This is the reconciliation step that takes hours when done manually.

Multi-Currency Support: For businesses accepting payments in multiple currencies, the integration handles currency conversion and posts transactions in the correct NetSuite currency with proper exchange rate application.

Fee Tracking: Braintree processing fees are extracted and posted to the appropriate expense account in NetSuite. This gives you accurate net revenue numbers without manual fee calculations.

Subscription Payment Handling: If you use Braintree's recurring billing, subscription payments create recurring revenue entries in NetSuite. Failed payments and retries are tracked so your AR stays accurate.

Technical Details

The integration uses Braintree's webhooks and API to capture transactions in real-time or batch mode. We build a middleware layer (typically using Celigo, custom SuiteScript, or a similar integration platform) that handles the data transformation between Braintree's payment data model and NetSuite's transaction records.

Key mapping decisions:

  • Customer matching: Braintree customer IDs map to NetSuite customer records via email or external ID
  • Item mapping: Braintree transaction descriptions map to NetSuite items for revenue categorization
  • Account coding: Payment methods (credit card, PayPal, Venmo) map to appropriate clearing accounts

FAQ

How often do Braintree transactions sync to NetSuite?

We offer real-time (webhook-driven) and batch (scheduled) sync options. Real-time is better for low-to-medium volume businesses that need immediate visibility. Batch sync (hourly or daily) works better for high-volume operations where processing transactions individually would create performance overhead.

Can this handle both Braintree Direct and Braintree Marketplace?

Yes. For marketplace businesses, the integration handles the additional complexity of splitting transactions between the marketplace operator and individual sellers, with appropriate revenue and liability entries in NetSuite.

What about PCI compliance?

The integration never handles raw card data. All payment processing happens in Braintree, and only transaction metadata (amounts, dates, customer IDs, payment method types) flows to NetSuite. Your PCI scope is not affected by this integration.
