Why teams connect Close and Shipwire

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

Close holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Shipwire 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 Users, Smart Views, Leads, Contacts in Close to Trackings, Rates, Orders, Products in Shipwire 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 Close contacts aligned with a marketing automation platform so outreach lists stay current.
  • 02 Push call, SMS, and email activity data into a warehouse for rep performance and outreach-cadence analysis.
  • 03 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 04 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Shipwire records orders: purchase history on the account

Orders and their status from Shipwire appear on the matching contact or account in Close, so reps see what a customer has bought and what is in flight before the next conversation.

New buyers become CRM records

A customer created in Shipwire creates or updates the matching contact or account in Close, 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.

How changes propagate between Close and Shipwire

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.

Close Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionClose notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook subscriptions for record events, with polling on date_updated fields for backfills.

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

Shipwire Close Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Close: Subject to per-endpoint rate limits communicated in response headers.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
