In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md ![Packaged food and snacks systems connected through Stacksync two-way sync: Shopify, NetSuite, Amazon Seller Central, PostgreSQL](https://www.stacksync.com/images/industry-heroes/icp-packaged-food-snacks-800.webp) Connect snack-brand ecommerce orders to the ERP records that explain the purchased packs, customers, and financial outcomes. This is a fit when DTC, wholesale, and operations repeatedly reconcile the same single-unit, multipack, and case identities by hand. Begin with the shared records and add approved fulfillment workflows after the pack relationships are clear. Food-brand teams waste time interpreting which physical goods a storefront bundle represents in the ERP.

When this fits ## Built for this operating problem Packaged-food and snack manufacturers combining DTC, marketplaces, co-packing, and grocery distribution. ### Preserve the purchased pack Keep the original Shopify variant and order line connected to the approved NetSuite representation, including the effective component definition for a mixed box. ### Give teams a common order trail Make customer, order, and accepted ERP references available for support and operations without turning every storefront edit into a financial change. ### Field ownership across Shopify and NetSuite Ecommerce keeps the Shopify variant ID and purchased options. Product operations keeps the component recipe and its effective date. ERP operations keeps the accepted NetSuite line and the totals NetSuite calculates. Set write permissions per object on each side, so a storefront title edit cannot rewrite a posted transaction and an ERP correction reaches the storefront only where you allow it. The process, end to end ## Follow the work across systems A brand sells mixed snack boxes online and full cases to grocery accounts. Commerce wants reliable order visibility, operations needs the correct component quantities, and finance needs one accepted transaction trail. The commercial fit is the recurring cross-system reconciliation across those teams, with approved pack definitions and clear operational owners.

It is especially relevant when ecommerce shares product and operational data with wholesale or manufacturing. The design preserves channel-specific packs and commercial rules while connecting the shared records. ### What happens when merchandising changes a variety pack after orders were placed in Shopify? Each order keeps the recipe that was in force on its purchase date. Product operations versions the component definition with an effective date, and the sync carries the stable Shopify variant ID and purchased options into NetSuite instead of the current display title. Placed orders stay on their original component quantities; the new definition applies to orders after the effective date. Moving an existing order onto the new bundle is a decision an operational owner records, not something a storefront edit triggers. ### Which Stacksync product should a snack brand start with for Shopify and NetSuite? Start with two-way sync for Shopify product variants, orders and customers and the NetSuite items and order lines they map to, with the pack recipe owned by product operations. Once one order of each pack type resolves correctly, add workflows for handoffs that need a decision, such as an unavailable component or a launch that depends on committed retail quantities. Genies come after, assembling shipment and receipt evidence when a grocery account claims a shortage. EDI comes last, when those grocers require purchase orders and ship notices as documents.
