I think you answered my question. By syncing I meant that, for instance, when a customer makes a purchase, a whole chain of events unfolds (databases are updated, keys are sent out, analytics packages are updated).

Yeah, I originally did all of that via ejunkie and now it is all custom except for e-junkie wrapping the underlying API call. Back when HTML in notepad was the extent of my programming skill, having ejunkie keep stats and then hand updating a spreadsheet every month made sense. Now that I'm comfortable in Rails it is really easy to automate bookkeeping tasks like that.
