Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and Shipwire

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

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; SAP Business ByDesign 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 Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates in Shipwire with Contacts, Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products in SAP Business ByDesign field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from SAP Business ByDesign, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.
  • 02 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 03 Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.
  • 04 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.

Common sync patterns

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 SAP Business ByDesign, tracking and status flow back to Shipwire so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between SAP Business ByDesign 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.

SAP Business ByDesign objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier 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.
Opportunities Built-in CRM records synced with external sales tools when both are in use. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Opportunities is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Project structures and tasks read for time and billing integrations. 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. Projects is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees Worker records referenced by time, expense, and project data. 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. Employees is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business Partners (Accounts) Customer and supplier master data synced with CRMs and procurement tools. 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. Business Partners (Accounts) is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Person records linked to accounts, aligned with CRM contact objects. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Contacts is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP Business ByDesign 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.

SAP Business ByDesign Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP Business ByDesign for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-changed timestamps.

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

Shipwire SAP Business ByDesign 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 SAP Business ByDesign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
