Why teams connect Lever and Shopify

Keep the people who own accounts in Shopify in step with the workforce records in Lever, so ownership, roles, and org structure stay current in both systems, in real time and in both directions.

Shopify runs on people as much as on accounts: every contact, deal, and account has an owner, and those owners are employees whose roles, teams, and status are held in Lever. Lever is the system of record for the workforce, from new hires to promotions to departures, and often for the candidates the business is still deciding on. When the two systems are connected only by re-keying or an overnight export, they drift apart, and the CRM ends up assigning accounts to people who have left, holding territories that no longer match the org chart, and waiting days to give a new rep access.

Stacksync syncs Customers, Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias in Shopify with Postings, Requisitions, Offers, Users in Lever field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Lever stays authoritative on roles and org structure while Shopify keeps ownership and territory current, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

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 Consolidate Feedback, Interviews, and Notes into a warehouse for interviewer scorecard and time-to-fill reporting.
  • 04 Write enriched Sources, Tags, and Contact data back onto Opportunities from an outbound sourcing pipeline.

Common sync patterns

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Lever records a new hire, a matching user or owner is created in Shopify, so a new rep can start working accounts without waiting on a manual setup ticket.

Ownership and territory follow the org chart

When a person changes team, manager, or region in Lever, their accounts and territory assignments in Shopify update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

Deactivate access when someone leaves

When Lever marks a worker as departed, the matching user in Shopify is flagged or deactivated, so former employees do not keep CRM access after their last day.

What you can sync between Lever 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.

Lever objects Shopify objects How this pairing syncs
Requisitions Headcount/requisition records with custom requisition fields, tied to Postings; read via GET /requisitions and synced to an HRIS to reconcile approved headcount against open roles. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Requisitions is specific to Lever and ProductMedias to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers Offer records attached to an Opportunity with status and offer-form fields; exposed read-only through GET /opportunities/:id/offers, so they sync outbound to an HRIS or onboarding system when a candidate reaches the offer stage. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Offers is specific to Lever and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Lever team members (recruiters, hiring managers) with configurable roles; can be created via POST /users, deactivated, and reactivated through the API. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. Users is specific to Lever and Orders to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stages Pipeline stage definitions that Opportunities move through; read to model funnel state and stage transitions in a database. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. Stages is specific to Lever and Customers to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Feedback is specific to Lever and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interviews Scheduled interview panel events with times and interviewers; read for scheduling reporting and time-to-hire metrics, and creatable via the panels endpoint.

How changes propagate between Lever 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.

Lever Shopify Sub-second propagation

DetectionLever notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for candidate and application lifecycle events (applicationCreated, candidateStageChange, candidateArchiveStateChange, candidateHired,.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Lever: 10 requests/second per API key with a token-bucket burst to ~20/s; POSTs that create candidates/applications are throttled to roughly 2/second. Sustained overage returns 429 with Retry-After. List endpoints are cursor-paginated at up to 100 records per page.
  • Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.
