Why teams connect Nimble and Shipwire

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

Nimble 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 Activities, Notes, Tags, Custom fields in Nimble to Stock, Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders 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 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.
  • 03 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.
  • 04 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.

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 Nimble, 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 Nimble, 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 Nimble 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.

Nimble objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Contacts Person records with multi-value fields for email, phone, and social profiles; the primary sync entity Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Contacts is specific to Nimble and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Stored as contact records with a company record type, so they sync through the same contacts resource Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Companies is specific to Nimble and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deals Pipeline records linked to contacts, synced to keep revenue systems aligned with sales activity Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Deals is specific to Nimble and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks To-do items tied to contacts, mirrored into work-management tools or reporting tables 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. Tasks is specific to Nimble and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble 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. Activities is specific to Nimble and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Notes Free-text records attached to contacts, replicated for a complete account timeline 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. Notes is specific to Nimble and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Nimble 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.

Nimble Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
  • 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.
