Why teams connect Bill and Channelengine
Turn every Channelengine order into clean revenue: Bill and Channelengine keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.
Channelengine runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Bill records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.
Stacksync syncs Payments, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Vendor Credits and Credit Memos in Bill with Returns, Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents in Channelengine field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Channelengine, its paid-or-overdue state from Bill — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.
The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.
Common use cases
- 01 Write Vendors created during ERP onboarding into BILL so new payees are ready to pay without manual re-entry.
- 02 Read Payments and payment status into a reconciliation database once bills are marked paid in BILL.
- 03 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
- 04 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.
Common sync patterns
Where Bill is the money system of record: payment status on the order
Paid, overdue, and refunded state from Bill lands on the order or account in Channelengine, so the store and support see what has actually been collected.
One customer master
Where both systems keep customer or buyer records, an edit in either propagates to the other, ending duplicate accounts and mismatched contact details.
Catalog and pricing stay aligned
Products, SKUs, and prices maintained on one side propagate to the other, so what the store sells and what the ledger books stay in step.
What you can sync between Bill and Channelengine
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.
| Bill objects | Channelengine objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vendors Payee master records; synced two-way with vendor/supplier tables in an ERP or accounting system so new payees don't have to be re-keyed. | Returns Marketplace- and merchant-initiated returns; read via GET /v2/returns and created with POST /v2/returns. Synced two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile with the ERP. | Vendors is specific to Bill and Returns to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Invoices Accounts-receivable invoices sent to customers; created and read via /v3/invoices to keep billing status aligned with the ERP or CRM. | Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. | Invoices is specific to Bill and Cancellations to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Customers AR customer master records; mapped to customer/account records in a CRM or ERP so finance and sales share one view. | Backorders Records marking part of an order as temporarily out of stock; create with POST /v2/backorders and read with GET /v2/backorders by merchant reference or since a date. | Customers is specific to Bill and Backorders to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Payments Outgoing vendor payments and received customer payments; read for reconciliation and created to schedule bill pay. | Order documents Invoices and other order documents; retrieved as a paginated, filterable list via GET /v2/orders/documents for finance and archiving systems. Read-only. | Payments is specific to Bill and Order documents to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Chart of Accounts GL accounts used to code bills and invoices; typically mastered in the accounting system and written into BILL for consistent coding. | Orders Marketplace and merchant-fulfilled orders; read via GET /v2/orders and GET /v2/orders/new (status NEW), then acknowledged with POST /v2/orders/acknowledge so later shipment, return, and cancellation calls can reference them. | Chart of Accounts is specific to Bill and Orders to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Bank Accounts Funding and deposit accounts; read to reconcile payments and posted transactions against the ledger. | Products (product content) Catalog records created and updated via POST /v2/products and deactivated via DELETE; use a parent/child variant model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint. Written into ChannelEngine from a PIM, ERP, or database. | Bank Accounts is specific to Bill and Products (product content) to Channelengine — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Bill and Channelengine
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.
Bill Channelengine Sub-second propagation
DetectionBill notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Channelengine through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Channelengine Bill Sub-second propagation
DetectionChannelengine notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Bill through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Bill: 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
- Channelengine: Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.

How the Bill and Channelengine connectors work
Bill
- Integration surface
- REST/JSON (BILL v3 Connect API)
- Authentication
- Session-based: POST /v3/login with username, password, organizationId, and a developer key (devKey) returns a sessionId that is passed with the devKey as headers on every subsequent call; OAuth is available for partner/embedded apps
- Change detection
- Webhook event subscriptions (POST /v3/subscriptions) for bills, vendors, payments, invoices, and bank accounts, with polling on createdTime/updatedTime list filters as the fallback
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits
- 20,000 requests per developer key per hour; login (POST /v3/login) capped at 200/hour; maximum 3 concurrent requests per developer key per organization. Spend & Expense API is a separate token at 60 calls/token/minute.
Channelengine
- Integration surface
- REST API (Merchant API v2); per-tenant base URL https://{tenant}.channelengine.net/api
- Authentication
- API key passed as the 'apikey' parameter; ChannelEngine recommends sending it in a request header rather than the URL because some webservers log full URLs
- Change detection
- Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes; product content and offers use change-tracking endpoints (GET /v2/products/data and /v2/products/offers) with an acknowledge pattern that returns only changed records, plus polling GET /v2/orders/new
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits
- Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.
