Why teams connect Amazon SES and Shopify

Keep Shopify and Amazon SES working from the same contacts, and log every call, message, and meeting back on the record, in real time and in both directions.

Shopify holds the people the business talks to: the contacts, their phone numbers and email addresses, and which rep owns the relationship. Amazon SES is where the talking happens, whether that is calls, texts, email, or meetings. The two depend on the same people, and when the contact list in one drifts from the other, outreach goes to stale numbers and the record of what was said never makes it back to the account.

Stacksync syncs Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants, Orders in Shopify with Configuration Sets, Sending Events, Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail), Contacts in Amazon SES field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Current contact details flow out to Amazon SES so it can reach the right person, and the calls, messages, and meetings Amazon SES produces flow back onto the matching record in Shopify. You decide which system owns which fields, and conflicts resolve by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep customer records aligned between Shopify and a CRM for segmentation and lifetime-value analysis.
  • 02 Write inventory levels from a WMS or ERP into Shopify locations to keep availability accurate.
  • 03 Stream SES sending events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) from a configuration-set event destination into a warehouse for deliverability reporting.
  • 04 Write bounced and complained addresses from the SES Suppression List back onto CRM and marketing records so other tools stop emailing them.

Common sync patterns

One contact list, opt-outs included

A number, address, or unsubscribe recorded in either system updates the other, so no one calls a disconnected line or messages someone who opted out.

New contacts reachable right away

A contact created or updated in Shopify appears in Amazon SES within seconds, so outreach starts without exporting a list or re-keying numbers.

Where Amazon SES reaches out: contacts kept current

Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and the owning rep from Shopify stay current in Amazon SES, so every call, text, or email goes to the right person at the right address.

What you can sync between Amazon SES and Shopify

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon SES objects Shopify objects How this pairing syncs
Email Templates Reusable subject/HTML/text templates with replacement variables; synced via CreateEmailTemplate, GetEmailTemplate, ListEmailTemplates, and UpdateEmailTemplate. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Email Templates is specific to Amazon SES and ProductMedias to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppression List Addresses auto-added on bounce or complaint; read with ListSuppressedDestinations and written with Put/DeleteSuppressedDestination to control re-sends. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Suppression List is specific to Amazon SES and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Verified Identities Email-address and domain identities cleared to send; managed via CreateEmailIdentity, ListEmailIdentities, GetEmailIdentity (DKIM and verification status). Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. Verified Identities is specific to Amazon SES and Orders to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Configuration Sets Named send-time rule groups that attach event destinations, IP pools, and suppression options; managed via Create/List ConfigurationSet operations. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. Configuration Sets is specific to Amazon SES and Customers to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sending Events Per-message send, delivery, bounce, complaint, open, and click events; not on any API, read from a configuration-set event destination (SNS/EventBridge/Firehose). Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Sending Events is specific to Amazon SES and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) Outbound email is produced via SendEmail and SendBulkEmail, accepting raw MIME or a template plus destination list. Send-only; there is no message store to read back. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify. Messages (SendEmail / SendBulkEmail) is specific to Amazon SES and Products to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon SES and Shopify

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.

Amazon SES Shopify Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon SES notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Message events (delivery, bounce, complaint, open, click) are pushed in near real time through configuration-set event destinations.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon SES: Every SES API action except SendEmail, SendRawEmail, and SendTemplatedEmail is throttled to 1 request/second per Region; the send rate and 24-hour sending quota are account-specific, adjustable, and per Region.
  • Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.
