Why teams connect Gatekeeper and Linnworks

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Gatekeeper and Linnworks.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Gatekeeper is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Users, Categories, Contracts, Vendors (Suppliers) in Gatekeeper with Stock Items, Stock Levels, Locations, Purchase Orders in Linnworks bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Vendors (Suppliers) with a CRM or ERP so counterparty, compliance, contact, and spend records match across the VCLM and the systems of record.
  • 02 Push generated documents into Gatekeeper Files, or pull executed contract PDFs and compliance evidence out into a document store or archive.
  • 03 Sync orders from Linnworks into an ERP or accounting system as they are processed, without CSV exports
  • 04 Keep stock levels consistent between Linnworks and external systems so multichannel listings stay aligned with sellable stock

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Gatekeeper faces customers and Linnworks carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Linnworks appears alongside the customer in Gatekeeper, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where Gatekeeper collects payments: transactions post through

Payment events sync into Linnworks as they occur, keeping the enterprise records current without manual entry.

What you can sync between Gatekeeper and Linnworks

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.

Gatekeeper objects Linnworks objects How this pairing syncs
Vendors (Suppliers) Company records for counterparties and suppliers with onboarding status, compliance, risk, contacts, and spend; read and written to keep vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Channel Listings Marketplace and webstore listing mappings tie channel products to internal SKUs. Vendors (Suppliers) is specific to Gatekeeper and Channel Listings to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files Document files attached to contracts and vendors - executed PDFs, certificates, and compliance evidence; read to pull signed files and evidence out, or written to push generated documents in. Returns & Refunds Post-sale records flow to finance and support systems. Files is specific to Gatekeeper and Returns & Refunds to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow form data The structured data captured on Gatekeeper workflow forms (intake requests, vendor onboarding, risk assessments); exposed by the API since 2025 so form results sync into an operational database, not only contract and vendor records. Shipping Services Carrier and service definitions support label and tracking data in order syncs. Workflow form data is specific to Gatekeeper and Shipping Services to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom data groups Customer-configured custom fields and data groups; because the JSON:API and its docs are dynamic, any custom data added in Configuration exposes the same read/write endpoints as the standard objects and syncs the same way. Open Orders Unshipped orders aggregated from sales channels sync into ERPs and fulfillment systems. Custom data groups is specific to Gatekeeper and Open Orders to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Gatekeeper user and team records governed by role-based access; read to map contract and vendor owners, approvers, and internal contacts to CRM or HR records. Processed Orders Completed orders feed accounting and warehouse-based margin reporting. Users is specific to Gatekeeper and Processed Orders to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The classification taxonomy applied to contracts and vendors (type, department, business unit); synced so categorization stays consistent between Gatekeeper and downstream reporting or ERP dimensions. Stock Items SKU records keep product data aligned with ERPs and PIMs. Categories is specific to Gatekeeper and Stock Items to Linnworks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Gatekeeper and Linnworks

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.

Gatekeeper Linnworks Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Gatekeeper for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log.

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

Linnworks Gatekeeper Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Linnworks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on order and stock endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper publishes no fixed public per-minute request quota; throughput is governed per key by its endpoint permissions, and every call is recorded (parameters, payload, response) under API Logs for monitoring. Pace bulk writes and use JSON:API pagination on list endpoints.
  • Linnworks: Per-endpoint rate limits apply on the Linnworks API.

How the Gatekeeper and Linnworks connectors work

Gatekeeper

Integration surface
RESTful API following the JSON:API specification, tenant-scoped with interactive docs at {tenant}.gatekeeperhq.com/api_docs and a published Postman collection. The API is dynamic: it exposes the standard Contract and Vendor objects plus any custom data groups and workflow-form data configured in the tenant.
Authentication
API keys created and managed under Configuration > API Keys and passed as a token; each key carries granular per-endpoint permissions set to read-only or write, so access is scoped per object. Multiple keys can be issued and revoked independently.
Change detection
No native developer webhook subscription API and no database change-data-capture log; detect changes by polling the JSON:API list endpoints filtered and sorted on updated-at timestamps. Gatekeeper's own event automation - Workflow Engine phase transitions and Interconnect process orchestration - runs inside the platform rather than as a subscribable webhook stream.
