Why teams connect Plex ERP and Shipwire

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

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; Plex ERP 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 Stock, Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders in Shipwire with Parts, Inventory, Production jobs, Sales orders in Plex ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Plex ERP, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 02 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.
  • 03 Keep customers, parts, and pricing aligned between Plex and the CRM the sales team uses.
  • 04 Push sales orders captured in e-commerce or EDI systems into Plex for scheduling and fulfillment.

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

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

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Plex ERP, tracking and status flow back to Shipwire so buyers see accurate updates.

What you can sync between Plex ERP 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.

Plex ERP objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning 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.
Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Inventory is specific to Plex ERP and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production jobs Shop-floor work records combining ERP and MES data for output reporting Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Production jobs is specific to Plex ERP and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand records written in from e-commerce or EDI channels and read out for fulfillment status Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Sales orders is specific to Plex ERP and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM 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. Customers is specific to Plex ERP and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP 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 Plex ERP and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Plex ERP 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.

Plex ERP Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
  • 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.
