In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md Sales works salon groups and stylists in HubSpot while finance keeps the billing identity and terms in Acumatica, so no tester contact turns into a duplicate customer. Author Ruben Burdin · Founder & CEO Published September 21, 2026 Read time 4 min read DATA ENGINEERING ## The operating decision Connect personal-care sales relationships to the correct approved ERP customer while preserving salon locations and retail buying groups. HubSpot can own outreach and commercial activity; Acumatica owns the accepted customer record and finance-controlled fields. Confirm the exposed Acumatica entities and permitted writes in the tenant before mapping them. Explore the complete [personal care integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/cpg/personal-care) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: HubSpot Acumatica sync for salon accounts and payers](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-hubspot-acumatica-sync-for-personal-care-brands-selling-to-salons-and-retailers.webp) ## What this looks like in personal care A salon group has a central payer, individual locations, and stylists requesting testers. Sales sees people and opportunities, while finance needs a stable customer hierarchy. Automatically creating a customer for each stylist would duplicate accounts and confuse which location can order under the group’s terms. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | HubSpot company | Revenue operations | Represent the salon group or retailer with explicit parent and location relationships. | | Buyer contact | Sales | Associate the person with the correct location without making the contact the legal payer. | | Acumatica customer | Finance | Own approved billing identity, terms, and entity-level permissions. | | Location mapping | Operations | Maintain the accepted ship-to reference and relevant receiving details. | ![Record ownership diagram: HubSpot company, Buyer contact, Acumatica customer](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-hubspot-acumatica-sync-for-personal-care-brands-selling-to-salons-and-retailers.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Review the account hierarchy List legal payer, salon locations, buyers, and independent professionals separately. Agree which level owns an opportunity, sample request, and paid order. 2. 02 Inspect the ERP contract Confirm the available customer and location entities and any custom fields with the Acumatica administrator. Connector availability does not establish every tenant-specific field or action. 3. 03 Protect finance fields Share approved customer context with sales while treating proposed legal or terms changes as review requests. Do not let an ordinary CRM edit silently become a finance decision. 4. 04 Exercise new locations Test adding a salon under an existing payer and moving a buyer between locations. Verify that historical orders retain the original customer and destination references. 5. 05 Add a stylist contact in HubSpot and watch what Acumatica does Create a HubSpot contact for a stylist who rents a chair at an existing salon customer and flag them as a tester requester. Then open the Acumatica customer list. No new customer should appear; the contact sits under the salon company with the payer question left open for finance. A fresh Acumatica customer created from that contact stops the rollout until the create permission is removed from the mapping. Next, move an existing buyer to a second location in HubSpot and reopen their earlier sales orders in Acumatica. Those orders must still show the original ship-to and payer. Rewritten history means location changes are overwriting rather than versioning. ![5-step operating sequence: HubSpot Acumatica sync for salon accounts and payers](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-hubspot-acumatica-sync-for-personal-care-brands-selling-to-salons-and-retailers.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Independent stylist rents space Confirm whether the stylist or salon is the actual payer before mapping the account. ### Salon group acquires a location Review legal and location relationships rather than merging history by brand name. ### ERP entity is customized Scope the specific endpoint fields and operations before enabling writes. ## What to verify before expanding - A tester contact cannot automatically become a duplicate legal customer. - Location changes preserve prior order and payer relationships. - An independent stylist and the salon sharing a site retain distinct payer candidates until the actual buyer is confirmed. - A salon acquisition triggers legal-customer review without automatically moving prior orders to the acquiring group's account. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync two-way sync](https://www.stacksync.com/two-way-sync) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

Yes. Map the shared records and ownership rules so sales retains relationship activity while finance and operations control their accepted ERP fields. What has to be clean in Acumatica before the first HubSpot mapping? Every salon group needs one customer ID for the payer and a distinct location record for each ship-to, with no location doubling as a customer. Duplicate customers left over from manual entry should be merged by finance first, because the sync matches on the ID it finds and cannot choose between two candidates. Also list the custom fields your tenant uses; unlisted fields are invisible to the mapping. A rep edits payment terms on a HubSpot company. Then what? The edit stays in HubSpot as a proposed value. Terms and the billing entity live on the Acumatica customer under finance write permissions, so that field does not travel back. Route the proposal to finance as a review task; once they change it in Acumatica, the approved value flows to HubSpot and the rep sees the outcome. The CRM never becomes the place where credit decisions get made.
