Choose the synchronization moment
Define whether the external record is created at checkout, payment, a specific status or manual approval.
Prevent duplicates
Use stable identifiers and decide how retries or historical imports behave.
Protect credentials and personal data
Keep secrets server-side and avoid unnecessary personal information in logs.
Create support visibility
Store the external reference, last response and available retry action where administrators can find them.
