Why teams connect Front and Shopify

Sync what happens in Front with the customer records in Shopify, in real time and in both directions.

The CRM is supposed to be the record of every customer relationship, but customer-relevant information also accumulates in the other tools a team runs. Whatever Front holds or produces that touches a customer, whether conversations, payments, replies, enriched data, or notes, the CRM only benefits if it arrives without someone copying it over.

Stacksync connects Conversations, Messages, Comments, Contacts in Front to Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants in Shopify with bi-directional, real-time sync. Activity and record changes in Front update the matching contact or account in Shopify, and CRM data flows the other way wherever Front can store and use it.

Common use cases

  • Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • Sync orders, customers, and inventory into Postgres for operational reporting across stores.

Where Front can store CRM context: fields kept current

Owner, lifecycle stage, or account details from Shopify sync into Front, so people working there have the context without switching tools.

Where Front handles support or shared inboxes

Tickets and conversations attach to the right contact and account in Shopify, so sales sees open issues before the next call.

Where Front supplies contact or company data

Enriched fields land directly on records in Shopify, and refreshes keep them from going stale.

What you can sync between Front and Shopify

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.
