Billtrust Integration Guide
Integrate Billtrust with enterprise finance and order-to-cash systems through REST APIs, selected event notifications, approved file exchanges, and authenticated workflows.
Billtrust integration options at a glance
Billtrust provides REST API capabilities for accounts-receivable, invoice, payment, customer, and related order-to-cash data. Selected products may also support webhook-style notifications or outbound callbacks for specific events, while enterprise deployments can involve scheduled API retrieval, batch exchanges, and approved invoice or remittance file transfers. Authentication is product- and tenant-specific, with OAuth-style application authentication indicated in the available documentation. Martini can securely consume Billtrust APIs, receive supported callbacks, process approved files, transform JSON or file data, expose APIs for connected systems, and orchestrate validation, synchronization, reconciliation, retries, and downstream updates.
Common Billtrust integration patterns

Authentication and security considerations
Application authentication
Billtrust authentication is product- and tenant-specific. OAuth-style application authentication is indicated, but the grant type, scopes, token endpoint, client registration, and token lifecycle must be confirmed for the selected API.
Secrets and permissions
Store Billtrust client credentials, tokens, certificates, and endpoint configuration in Martini environment secrets. Apply the minimum Billtrust application permissions required for the workflow and keep environments separated.
Callback security
For supported callbacks, confirm request authentication, signatures, source validation, and replay protections with Billtrust. Martini can validate the request before retrieving the authoritative resource and updating downstream systems.
Operational considerations for Billtrust integrations
Throttling and pagination
Confirm Billtrust request, concurrency, and burst limits. Handle HTTP 429 responses and vendor retry headers with bounded backoff. Determine whether retrieval uses pages, offsets, cursors, continuation tokens, or date ranges.
Financial integrity
Preserve decimal precision for invoices, payments, taxes, discounts, and remittances. Match invoices using customer accounts, company context, invoice numbers, currency, amounts, and external identifiers because invoice numbers may not be globally unique.
Idempotency and status
Persist Billtrust identifiers, source identifiers, request references, timestamps, and payload hashes. Treat accepted submission, delivery, payment, settlement, and cash application as distinct states, and make retries safe when a response is lost.
Files and schema changes
For approved file exchanges, define naming, encoding, encryption, acknowledgment, duplicate detection, partial-file, and retention rules. Version API and file mappings, avoid undocumented fields, and test changes to required fields, enumerations, pagination, and error formats.
Reconciliation
Build reconciliation workflows that compare invoices, payments, remittances, customer accounts, and statuses between Billtrust and the system of record. Monitor callback delivery, scheduled runs, rejected records, and unmatched payment allocations.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestration instead of isolated scripts
Martini provides a maintainable workflow layer for Billtrust integrations, coordinating authenticated API calls, supported callbacks, approved file processing, enrichment, business rules, target writes, and reconciliation in one governed implementation.
Reusable integration assets
Teams can expose controlled APIs for ERP and operational systems, reuse mappings and validation logic, and separate environment configuration from implementation code. This reduces duplicated point-to-point logic while preserving flexibility for product-specific Billtrust contracts.
Operational control
Workflows can include checkpoints, correlation identifiers, duplicate protection, bounded retries, error routes, and monitoring practices. Martini can also combine real-time callbacks with scheduled incremental synchronization and reconciliation where Billtrust event coverage is limited.
