Why teams connect Channelengine and Zuora
Turn every Channelengine order into clean revenue: Zuora 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. Zuora 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 Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge, Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog), Invoice, Payment in Zuora with Backorders, Order documents, Orders, Products (product content) 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 Zuora — 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 Stream metered Usage records from a warehouse or metering pipeline into Zuora so consumption-based charges are rated on the correct Rate Plan.
- 02 Two-way sync of Accounts and Subscriptions with an operational Postgres database so product and finance teams read billing state in SQL while changes flow back into Zuora.
- 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
Refunds and credits reconcile
Refunds, cancellations, and credit notes raised in either system update the corresponding record in the other, keeping balances honest on both sides.
Where Channelengine originates orders: sales flow into the books
A new or updated order in Channelengine creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Zuora, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.
Where Zuora is the money system of record: payment status on the order
Paid, overdue, and refunded state from Zuora lands on the order or account in Channelengine, so the store and support see what has actually been collected.
What you can sync between Channelengine and Zuora
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 | Zuora objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. | Usage Metered consumption records; written into Zuora from a metering or warehouse pipeline so consumption-based charges are rated and invoiced. | Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Usage to Zuora — 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. | Order and Amendment Records of subscription create and change actions; written to Zuora to drive quote-to-cash and read for subscription change history. | Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Order and Amendment to Zuora — 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. | Account (Billing Account) The customer billing entity holding contacts, payment methods, and billing settings; synced two-way as the parent record most other Zuora objects hang off. | Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Account (Billing Account) to Zuora — 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. | Subscription Recurring or usage-based subscription tied to an Account; read for revenue state and written when provisioning or changing plans from a CRM or app. | Orders is specific to Channelengine and Subscription to Zuora — 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. | Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge The priced components inside a Subscription; synced so charge amounts, quantities, and effective dates stay aligned with the source system. | Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Rate Plan and Rate Plan Charge to Zuora — 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. | Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) The catalog of sellable products and their pricing; usually mastered elsewhere and written into Zuora, or read to map subscription charges. | Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Product and Product Rate Plan (Product Catalog) to Zuora — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Channelengine and Zuora
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 Zuora 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 Zuora through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Zuora Channelengine Sub-second propagation
DetectionZuora notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental extraction on the indexed UpdatedDate column via ZOQL/AQuA stateful mode (high-water mark), plus Callout Notifications (webhooks) for.
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.
- Zuora: Concurrency limits: 40 concurrent requests by default, 80 for Object Queries, 200 for high-volume operations (doubled for Performance Booster); HTTP 429 on breach with exponential backoff; OAuth token endpoint is not bound by the limit.

How the Channelengine and Zuora 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

- Rate limits

Zuora
- Integration surface
- REST API (v1) with Object Query, Data Query, and AQuA bulk export; legacy SOAP API also available
