Why teams connect Shipwire and Workday

Turn every Shipwire order into clean revenue: Workday 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. Workday 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 Positions, Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results in Workday with Rates, Orders, Products, Stock 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 Workday — 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 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 02 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.

Common sync patterns

Catalog and pricing stay aligned

Products, SKUs, and prices maintained on one side propagate to the other, so what the store sells and what the ledger books stay in step.

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 Workday, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

What you can sync between Shipwire and Workday

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.

Shipwire objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Receivings is specific to Shipwire and Payroll Results to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Returns is specific to Shipwire and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Purchase Orders is specific to Shipwire and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Trackings is specific to Shipwire and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Rates is specific to Shipwire and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Orders is specific to Shipwire and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Shipwire and Workday

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.

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

Workday Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Shipwire 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.
