Prepare your technical review
Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.
Implementation reference
Record identity and field ownership
Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

Customer identityContacts / Subscribers Customers
Before linking Salesforce Marketing Cloud Contacts / Subscribers to Shopware Customers, check whether the customer is an individual or a company. Match the correct record type in each system.
- Salesforce Marketing Cloud
- Object support to establish
- Shopware
- Object support to establish
Record identity
Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient.
Field ownership
Separate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.
Fields to include
- Source customer ID
- Person/company classification
- Legal entity or business unit
- Destination identity reference
Architecture decision
Choose how to connect your systems
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Contacts / Subscribers / Customers to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
Stacksync managed sync
- Best fit
- Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
- Operating responsibility
- Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
- Before you choose
- Check record matching: Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
- Best fit
- A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Shopware record types.
- Operating responsibility
- Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
- Before you choose
- First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Contacts / Subscribers / Customers, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
- Best fit
- Consider when Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Shopware need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
- Operating responsibility
- Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
- Before you choose
- Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.
File or scheduled snapshot
- Best fit
- Consider for a one-time Salesforce Marketing Cloud / Shopware migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
- Operating responsibility
- Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
- Before you choose
- Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow reference
From a business event to the right update
Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.
Customer sync test
Starting event: A change to the selected Contacts / Subscribers or Customers record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Salesforce Marketing Cloud Contacts / Subscribers and Shopware Customers. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
Coordinate Shopware commerce data with Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Starting event: A catalog, order, or fulfillment change in Shopware matters to Contacts / Subscribers or Tracking Events.
- Choose the commerce entity from Products or Customers; separate products, variants, orders, and fulfillments.
- Preserve order and line references through the Salesforce Marketing Cloud process. Define many-to-one or one-to-many relationships explicitly.
- Assign separate ownership for commercial approval, inventory, and fulfillment, including partial cancellations or returns.
Expected result: A split fulfillment and repeated request preserve line quantities without duplicate orders or shipments.
If it fails: Look up existing downstream records before retrying creation; reconcile current order and fulfillment states.
Production readiness
Test the behavior your business depends on
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Contacts / Subscribers / Customers
Test case
Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
Expected result
The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Direction and permissions
Test case
Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.
Expected result
Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.
Freshness and reconciliation
Test case
Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.
Expected result
The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.
Failure recovery
Find the cause. Restore the data flow.
Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.
Rejected or repeated customer change
Investigate
Inspect Salesforce Marketing Cloud Contacts / Subscribers and Shopware Customers, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
A record type or update is unavailable
Investigate
Check the Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Shopware connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.
Next action
Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.
Source and destination disagree after a retry
Investigate
Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.
Next action
Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.
Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

-
No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
-
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
-
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
-
Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.
-
