How do headless integrations sync orders to CRM?

Real World Scenario

After online checkout, sales reps need the Order in Sales Cloud. You outline a simple sync pattern.

Expected Answer

• Order confirmation events trigger integration—API call, platform event, or middleware flow • Map commerce order fields to Salesforce Order or custom objects • Include customer key for matching Contact or Account records • Handle failures with retry queues and alerting—do not lose paid orders silently • Idempotency prevents duplicate CRM orders on webhook retries

Architect Perspective

Order sync interviews always want idempotency + error handling—mention both unprompted.
