Why teams connect Insightly and Shipwire

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

Insightly 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 Contacts, Organizations, Leads, Opportunities in Insightly to Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings 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 Two-way sync of Insightly contacts and organizations with a marketing automation platform
  • 02 Replicate opportunities into Postgres or a warehouse so RevOps can report on pipeline with SQL
  • 03 Two-way sync Orders between a storefront or ERP database and Shipwire so new orders create fulfillment requests and Stacksync writes Trackings and status (processed, submitted, delivered) back.
  • 04 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.

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 Insightly, 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 Insightly, 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.

What you can sync between Insightly and Shipwire

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.

Insightly objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Products Product catalog entries support line-item syncing on opportunities and quotes. Products Catalog SKUs including kits, virtual kits, and marketplace products; created and edited via API, commonly mastered in a PIM or ERP and pushed into Shipwire with dimensions and pricing. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Events Calendar items sync for a complete activity timeline. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Events is specific to Insightly and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Free-text context attaches to synced records for downstream visibility. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Notes is specific to Insightly and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Per-object custom fields carry enrichment and billing data written from external systems. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Custom Fields is specific to Insightly and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Person records sync with marketing and support tools to keep one contact list. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Contacts is specific to Insightly and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations Company records map to accounts in ERPs and other CRMs. Orders B2C fulfillment orders (create, update, cancel, get) with item, hold, routing, and tracking subresources; typically written from a storefront or ERP and synced back with status and trackings. Organizations is specific to Insightly and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Insightly 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.

Insightly Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Insightly for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record updated-date fields.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Insightly: Daily API request caps vary by Insightly plan.
  • 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.
