Why teams connect Channelengine and Salesforce

Keep the customers and orders that Salesforce and Channelengine share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Salesforce holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Channelengine runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.

Stacksync links Opportunities, Cases, Campaigns, Tasks and Events in Salesforce to Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents, Orders in Channelengine with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.

The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities bi-directionally with Postgres so engineering teams read and write CRM data with plain SQL.
  • 02 Write product usage metrics computed in a warehouse onto Account and Contact fields so reps see adoption signals on the record.
  • 03 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.
  • 04 Stream stock and price to the Offers endpoint (PUT /v2/offer/stock) whenever inventory changes so marketplaces reflect availability and overselling is avoided.

Common sync patterns

Where Salesforce segments customers: status travels to the store record

Lifecycle stage, tier, or account owner set in Salesforce syncs onto the customer record in Channelengine, so the buying side can act on how the relationship is classified.

Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned

Where Salesforce tracks products or line items and Channelengine holds the catalog, shared items are matched on SKU so quotes, deals, and orders reference the same products.

One customer identity across sales and store

A person who exists as a contact in Salesforce and a buyer in Channelengine is kept as a single, deduplicated record, so both teams work from the same customer instead of two partial copies.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Salesforce

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 Salesforce objects How this pairing syncs
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. Custom Objects Org-specific tables with the __c suffix; discoverable via describe metadata so field mappings can be generated. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Custom Objects to Salesforce — 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. Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP. Returns is specific to Channelengine and Accounts to Salesforce — 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. Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Contacts to Salesforce — 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. Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Leads to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Opportunities to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Cases to Salesforce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Salesforce

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 Salesforce 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 Salesforce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Salesforce Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Salesforce are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting).

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.
  • Salesforce: Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.

How the Channelengine and Salesforce 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
Capabilities

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.

Salesforce

Integration surface
REST, SOAP, and Bulk APIs
Authentication
OAuth login via a Salesforce user (browser-based authorization flow); requires "API Enabled" permission for polling mode, plus "Author Apex" and "Customize Application" OR "Modify All Data" for trigger mode
Change detection
Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting)
