Why teams connect Linnworks and Shipwire

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shipwire and Linnworks share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; Linnworks owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates in Shipwire with Returns & Refunds, Shipping Services, Open Orders, Processed Orders in Linnworks field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Linnworks, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Mirror processed orders, refunds, and returns into a warehouse for margin reporting across channels
  • 04 Sync product and listing data with a PIM so channel listings stay aligned with the catalog

Common sync patterns

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where Linnworks is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from Linnworks publish to Shipwire, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Shipwire creates the matching record in Linnworks with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

What you can sync between Linnworks 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.

Linnworks objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Replenishment POs sync with suppliers and accounting systems. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Stock Items SKU records keep product data aligned with ERPs and PIMs. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Stock Items is specific to Linnworks and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock Levels Per-location quantities sync outward so channels and planning tools reflect current availability. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Stock Levels is specific to Linnworks and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouse and fulfillment location records scope stock data during mapping. 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. Locations is specific to Linnworks and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records keep procurement data consistent across tools. 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. Suppliers is specific to Linnworks and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channel Listings Marketplace and webstore listing mappings tie channel products to internal SKUs. 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. Channel Listings is specific to Linnworks and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Linnworks 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.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Linnworks: Per-endpoint rate limits apply on the Linnworks API.
  • 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.
