Why teams connect Channelengine and Infor M3

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Channelengine and Infor M3 share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Channelengine runs the storefront and takes the orders; Infor M3 owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Returns, Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents in Channelengine with Invoices, Warehouses, Price Lists, Items in Infor M3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Infor M3, order and customer detail from Channelengine — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Returns and Cancellations two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile marketplace returns and cancellations with the ERP.
  • 02 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 04 Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock

Common sync patterns

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Infor M3, tracking and status flow back to Channelengine so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where Infor M3 is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from Infor M3 publish to Channelengine, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Infor M3

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.

Channelengine objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
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. Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Purchase Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers (price and stock) Price and stock updates via PUT /v2/offer/stock and the offers endpoints; separate from product content so fast-changing stock can be pushed often, and supports bulk updates across stock locations. Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Manufacturing Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Fulfillment records; write with POST /v2/shipments to mark an order shipped with tracking, read with GET /v2/shipments. Pushed back from a warehouse or ERP so marketplaces update the buyer. Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Inventory Balances to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. Returns is specific to Channelengine and Invoices to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Warehouses to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Price Lists to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Infor M3

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.

Channelengine Infor M3 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 Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor M3 Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.

How the Channelengine and Infor M3 connectors work

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
