Why teams connect Salesforce and Shipwire

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

Salesforce 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 Cases, Campaigns, Tasks and Events, Products and Price Books in Salesforce to Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates 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 Trigger provisioning or billing changes in an operational database when an Opportunity moves to closed-won.
  • 02 Consolidate multiple Salesforce orgs into a single database for cross-org reporting after an acquisition.
  • 03 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 04 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.

Common sync patterns

One customer identity across sales and store

A person who exists as a contact in Salesforce and a buyer in Shipwire is kept as a single, deduplicated record, so both teams work from the same customer instead of two partial copies.

Where Shipwire records orders: purchase history on the account

Orders and their status from Shipwire appear on the matching contact or account in Salesforce, 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 Salesforce, so first-time and repeat buyers land in the relationship system without a manual import.

What you can sync between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Accounts Company records that anchor most syncs; typically mapped to customer tables in a database or ERP. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Accounts is specific to Salesforce and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts People linked to Accounts; synced two-way with marketing, support, and warehouse person records. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Contacts is specific to Salesforce and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Leads Unqualified prospects; often written into Salesforce from enrichment or product-signup pipelines. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Leads is specific to Salesforce and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Opportunities Deal records with stage and amount; synced to databases for pipeline reporting and to ERPs at close. 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. Opportunities is specific to Salesforce and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cases Support records; synced with help desk tools or internal databases for escalation workflows. 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. Cases is specific to Salesforce and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Campaigns Marketing membership data; read out for attribution analysis in the warehouse. 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. Campaigns is specific to Salesforce and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Salesforce 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.

Salesforce Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Salesforce are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Apex triggers are used whenever possible (Salesforce actively notifies Stacksync via an Apex trigger + callout class + remote site setting).

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Salesforce: Daily API request allocations vary by edition and license count.
  • 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.
