Why teams connect Channelengine and Shopify
Keep the customers and orders that Shopify and Channelengine share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.
Shopify 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 Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants in Shopify to Returns, Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents 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 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 Pull new marketplace orders with GET /v2/orders/new into an ERP or OMS and acknowledge them so fulfillment runs from the system of record.
- 04 Write Shipments with tracking back to ChannelEngine when the warehouse or ERP marks an order shipped, so each marketplace notifies the buyer.
Common sync patterns
New buyers become CRM records
A customer created in Channelengine creates or updates the matching contact or account in Shopify, so first-time and repeat buyers land in the relationship system without a manual import.
Contact and address details stay consistent
An email, phone, or shipping and billing address corrected in either system updates the other, so the next order and the next outreach both use current information.
Where Shopify segments customers: status travels to the store record
Lifecycle stage, tier, or account owner set in Shopify syncs onto the customer record in Channelengine, so the buying side can act on how the relationship is classified.
What you can sync between Channelengine 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.
| Channelengine objects | Shopify objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| 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. | ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Backorders is specific to Channelengine and ProductMedias to Shopify — 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. | ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Order documents is specific to Channelengine and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. | Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Customers to Shopify — 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. | Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. | Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — 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. | Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify. | Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Products to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Channelengine 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.
Channelengine Shopify 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 Shopify 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.
- Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.

How the Channelengine and Shopify 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.
Shopify
- Integration surface
- GraphQL Admin API (primary) and REST Admin API (legacy)
- Authentication
- OAuth via a custom Shopify app: admin creates an app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, enables required API scopes, sets the Stacksync redirect URL, then supplies shop name + Client ID and Client Secret to Stacksync

-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Channelengine and Shopify connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Channelengine–Shopify integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Channelengine and Shopify. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Channelengine: 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. On Shopify: Webhook topics per resource, with polling on updated_at as a fallback. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Shopify side: Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants, plus custom fields where Shopify exposes them. On the Channelengine side: Returns, Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
