Why teams connect Namely and Shopify

Keep the people who own accounts in Shopify in step with the workforce records in Namely, 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 Namely. Namely 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 ProductVariants, Orders, Customers, Abandoned Checkouts in Shopify with Events, Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers in Namely field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so Namely 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 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.
  • 04 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Where Namely tracks people the business also engages: contacts stay in sync

A person recorded in Namely, such as a candidate or applicant, can create or update the matching contact in Shopify, so relationship history and outreach are not rebuilt from scratch when the same individual appears in both.

New team members provisioned when they are hired

When Namely 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 Namely, their accounts and territory assignments in Shopify update to match, so pipeline stays with the right owner.

What you can sync between Namely 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.

Namely objects Shopify objects How this pairing syncs
Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. Job Titles is specific to Namely and Customers to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Job Tiers is specific to Namely and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify. Groups is specific to Namely and Products to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Teams is specific to Namely and ProductMedias to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Reports is specific to Namely and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. Profile Fields is specific to Namely and Orders to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Namely 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.

Namely Shopify Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

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

Shopify Namely Sub-second propagation

DetectionShopify notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topics per resource, with polling on updated_at as a fallback.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
  • Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.

How the Namely and Shopify connectors work

Namely

REST API (JSON over HTTPS)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant, or a personal access token sent as a Bearer token; all calls run over HTTPS against https://{subdomain}.namely.com/api/v1
Change detection
No webhooks; integrations poll GET endpoints and compare the updated_at / created_at timestamps on Profiles and related objects to detect changes

Integration surface
GraphQL Admin API (primary) and REST Admin API (legacy)
Authentication
OAuth via a custom Shopify app: admin creates an app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, enables required API scopes, sets the Stacksync redirect URL, then supplies shop name + Client ID and Client Secret to Stacksync
