Why teams connect Recurly and Shipwire

Turn every Shipwire order into clean revenue: Recurly and Shipwire keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.

Shipwire runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Recurly records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.

Stacksync syncs Billing Info, Measured Units and Usage, Accounts, Subscriptions in Recurly with Orders, Products, Stock, Receivings in Shipwire field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Shipwire, its paid-or-overdue state from Recurly — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 02 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 03 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.
  • 04 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.

Common sync patterns

Refunds and credits reconcile

Refunds, cancellations, and credit notes raised in either system update the corresponding record in the other, keeping balances honest on both sides.

Where Shipwire originates orders: sales flow into the books

A new or updated order in Shipwire creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Recurly, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

Where Recurly is the money system of record: payment status on the order

Paid, overdue, and refunded state from Recurly lands on the order or account in Shipwire, so the store and support see what has actually been collected.

What you can sync between Recurly 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.

Recurly objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Measured Units and Usage is specific to Recurly and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Accounts is specific to Recurly and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Subscriptions is specific to Recurly and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Plans is specific to Recurly and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Invoices is specific to Recurly and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. 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. Transactions is specific to Recurly and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Recurly 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.

Recurly Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
  • 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.
