Why teams connect Brightpearl and Ceridian Dayforce
Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Brightpearl and Ceridian Dayforce share in real time, so the people Ceridian Dayforce manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.
Ceridian Dayforce is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Brightpearl runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.
Stacksync syncs Custom fields, Products, Sales orders, Purchase orders in Brightpearl with Time Away From Work & Balances, Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status, Work Assignments in Ceridian Dayforce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Brightpearl keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync Brightpearl sales orders and fulfillment status with a CRM so sales and support see order state without switching tools.
- 02 Mirror inventory levels from Brightpearl into a database that feeds availability to storefronts and marketplaces.
- 03 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.
- 04 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.

| Inventory and warehouses On-hand and allocated stock by warehouse, read for availability publishing. | Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. | Inventory and warehouses is specific to Brightpearl and Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries to Ceridian Dayforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Brightpearl and Ceridian Dayforce
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.
Brightpearl Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation
DetectionBrightpearl notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ceridian Dayforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations
- Brightpearl: Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints.
- Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.

How the Brightpearl and Ceridian Dayforce connectors work
Brightpearl
- Integration surface
- REST API, organized into services (order, product, contact, warehouse, accounting)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 (authorization code grant) for current apps; legacy private and public apps authenticate with app reference and account token headers
- Change detection
- Webhooks for object created/updated events, with resource search polling as a fallback
- Capabilities
- read · write · webhooks
- Rate limits
- Requests are throttled per account under Brightpearl's API usage policies; bulk operations should use batch endpoints
Ceridian Dayforce
- Integration surface
- REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
- Authentication
- HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
- Change detection
- No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.
