Why teams connect Affinity and DEAR Inventory
Close the gap between front office and back office: Affinity and DEAR Inventory share customers and status in real time, in both directions.
Affinity holds the customer relationship; DEAR Inventory runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.
Stacksync syncs Notes, Interactions, Reminders, Lists in Affinity with Stock adjustments and transfers, Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products in DEAR Inventory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.
Common use cases
- Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
- Keep introductions and relationship data from Affinity aligned with outreach tools used by the team.
- Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
- Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
One customer master
Where both systems keep customer or organization records, corrections in either propagate to the other, ending dual maintenance.
Where DEAR Inventory manages people and org data: keep Affinity aligned
Owners, territories, and org structure informed by DEAR Inventory stay current in Affinity.
Where DEAR Inventory handles order-to-cash: closed-won flows through
A deal won in Affinity creates or updates the customer in DEAR Inventory with clean data, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

FAQ
Affinity and DEAR Inventory integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Affinity and DEAR Inventory: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Affinity's Notes and Interactions), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Affinity: The data model centers on lists: a person, organization, or opportunity gains list-specific field values only through its list entry, so syncs must address both the entity and the entry. DEAR Inventory: DEAR Systems was acquired by Cin7 and the product now operates as Cin7 Core; the API and data model carried over from DEAR. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Affinity and DEAR Inventory without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Affinity and DEAR Inventory records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Affinity and DEAR Inventory connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Affinity–DEAR Inventory integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Affinity and DEAR Inventory. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Affinity: Webhook subscriptions for record events, supplemented by polling. On DEAR Inventory: Polling with modified-since filters; webhook notifications for sale and purchase events are available on subscriptions that include the Automation module. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
