Why teams connect SAP S/4HANA and Shipwire

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shipwire and SAP S/4HANA share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; SAP S/4HANA 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 Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates, Orders in Shipwire with Purchase Orders, Products / Materials, Billing Documents (Invoices), Deliveries in SAP S/4HANA field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from SAP S/4HANA, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Two-way sync Orders between a storefront or ERP database and Shipwire so new orders create fulfillment requests and Stacksync writes Trackings and status (processed, submitted, delivered) back.
  • 02 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.
  • 03 Push closed-won CRM opportunities into S/4HANA as sales orders without manual re-keying.
  • 04 Surface invoice and payment status from S/4HANA inside the CRM so account teams see open balances.

Common sync patterns

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in SAP S/4HANA, 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.

Where SAP S/4HANA is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from SAP S/4HANA publish to Shipwire, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

What you can sync between SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools. 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.
Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs. 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. Products / Materials is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility. 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. Billing Documents (Invoices) is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deliveries Outbound delivery status synced to customer-facing systems for order tracking. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Deliveries is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Journal Entries is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Customer / Supplier Roles is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP S/4HANA for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on change timestamps exposed by the OData services.

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

Shipwire SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP S/4HANA: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition and communication arrangement.
  • 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.
