Overview

What this migration involves

STEL Order is a field service management and ERP platform built around quotes, jobs (work notes), invoices, product catalogs, team management, and accounting integrations — primarily serving freelancers, SMEs, and home-service businesses across Spain and Latin America. HighLevel is an all-in-one CRM and marketing automation platform centered on Contacts, Companies, Opportunities (pipelines), Tasks, Workflows, and a flat-rate contact-pricing model designed for agencies and growing service businesses. The migration maps STEL Order's operational records (clients → contacts, quotes → opportunities, jobs → tasks, invoices → files + notes, products → line items) into HighLevel's contact-centric schema. Job scheduling, technician assignments, and location data become custom fields on HighLevel tasks since HighLevel lacks a native job-dispatch model. Invoice PDFs migrate as HighLevel Files; invoice metadata (number, total, status, due date) migrates as custom fields since HighLevel has no native invoice object. STEL Order workflows, automations, accounting connections (Stripe, PayPal), tax consultant logins, and team restrictions do not migrate — we export their definitions as a rebuild reference for your team to reconstruct inside HighLevel's Workflow Builder. We use the STEL Order API (via Make/Integromat connector or direct REST) and HighLevel's Bulk CSV import with API validation to run the migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

STEL Order logo

STEL Order

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited international documentation and primarily Spanish-language support creates friction for non-Spanish speaking teams evaluating the platform for global use.
  • API documentation is not publicly detailed, making custom integrations and automated data pipelines difficult to implement without direct vendor support.
  • Small review sample size (4 verified reviews) makes it difficult to assess long-term reliability and identify systemic issues before committing to the platform.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How STEL Order objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a STEL Order object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

STEL Order

Client

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order clients map directly to HighLevel contacts. The client name splits into firstName and lastName; email, phone, and address fields map field-for-field. VAT/tax registration stored as a custom field on the contact record. STEL Order's client-level notes migrate as HighLevel contact notes.

STEL Order

Quote

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Each STEL Order quote becomes a HighLevel opportunity. The quote number and title concatenate into the opportunity name for traceability; the original quote number is stored as Quote_Number__c custom field. Quote status (sent, accepted, rejected, draft) maps to HighLevel pipeline stage values via value mapping. Line items from quotes migrate as opportunity custom fields since HighLevel opportunities do not support native multi-line-item product bundles.

STEL Order

Job (Work Note)

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order jobs map to HighLevel tasks. Job number becomes task name; job status (scheduled, in progress, completed, cancelled) becomes a custom field (Job_Status__c). Scheduled date maps to task dueDate; technician assignment becomes Assigned_Technician__c custom field; GPS location becomes Location custom field; on-site description becomes task note. Completed job totals and client signatures migrate as custom fields since HighLevel tasks lack these native attributes.

STEL Order

Invoice

maps to

HighLevel

File + Custom Fields

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order invoices have no native HighLevel equivalent. The invoice PDF is uploaded as a HighLevel File attached to the relevant contact. Invoice number, total amount, status (paid/unpaid/overdue), and due date migrate as custom fields on the contact (Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Total__c, Invoice_Status__c, Invoice_Due_Date__c). Stripe and PayPal payment records from STEL Order's accounting module are preserved as notes for reference.

STEL Order

Product / Catalog Item

maps to

HighLevel

Line Item / Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order products and catalog items with pricing and SKU map directly to HighLevel line items or opportunity custom fields. Product name maps to name; SKU maps to sku; unit price maps to unitPrice. Tax rates on products require a custom field on the line item since HighLevel line items lack a native tax_rate attribute.

STEL Order

Team Member / Staff

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order team members map to HighLevel users. Name and email map directly. Role (technician, admin, manager) migrates as User_Role__c custom field since HighLevel roles are platform-level permissions rather than contact-type labels. Team restrictions defined in STEL Order do not transfer — access rules must be rebuilt in HighLevel's User Roles settings.

STEL Order

Company / Supplier

maps to

HighLevel

Company

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order supplier records and company data extracted from client address organizations map to HighLevel companies. Company name, address, industry, and number of employees migrate as Company fields. Suppliers and clients share one HighLevel company record if they are the same entity; separate records are created if supplier and client roles are distinct.

STEL Order

Custom Fields

maps to

HighLevel

Contact Custom Field / Opportunity Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order custom fields on clients, quotes, jobs, and products must be recreated in HighLevel as either contact custom fields or opportunity custom fields. HighLevel enforces a critical constraint: a field is created as contact-type or opportunity-type and cannot be switched after creation. We audit every STEL Order custom field and assign it to the correct HighLevel field type before migration runs.

STEL Order

Tags / Segmentations

maps to

HighLevel

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order segmentation labels and tags on clients migrate as HighLevel tags on the contact record. Tags are preserved verbatim with source attribution stored in the tag name (e.g., priority-client) so workflows in HighLevel can reference them immediately. Duplicate tag structures are consolidated during mapping.

STEL Order

Documents (Estimates, Delivery Notes, Invoices)

maps to

HighLevel

File

1:1
Fully supported

STEL Order documents — PDFs of estimates, work notes, delivery notes, and invoices — are downloaded and re-uploaded as HighLevel Files attached to the relevant contact or opportunity record. File size limits of HighLevel's storage are checked before bulk upload; documents exceeding limits are stored as downloadable links in contact notes.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Job scheduling model has no direct HighLevel equivalent — technician assignment and GPS location require custom fields

    STEL Order organizes work around jobs: technician assignment, scheduled date and time, GPS location, on-site photos, and client signature. HighLevel has no native job-dispatch or field-service model — it uses Tasks with due dates. During migration, FlitStack AI maps job technician to Assigned_Technician__c custom field (email-matched to a HighLevel user), GPS location to the task location field, and on-site description to the task note. Job status (scheduled, in_progress, completed, cancelled) becomes Job_Status__c custom pick-list. On-site photos and client signature images are stored as note attachments. HighLevel Tasks cannot display a map view of job locations natively; this requires a custom report or a third-party map integration post-migration.

  • STEL Order invoice lifecycle does not exist in HighLevel — invoice records become files with custom-field metadata

    STEL Order manages the complete invoice lifecycle: PDF generation, payment tracking, Stripe and PayPal integration, and tax consultant login for accounting compliance. HighLevel has no native invoice object. FlitStack AI handles this gap by uploading every STEL Order invoice PDF as a HighLevel File attached to the relevant contact, and by storing invoice number (Invoice_Number__c), total (Invoice_Total__c), payment status (Invoice_Status__c), and due date (Invoice_Due_Date__c) as contact custom fields. Any Stripe or PayPal payment records linked to invoices in STEL Order are preserved as notes on the contact record. HighLevel Payments integration must be reconnected after migration if you use Stripe or PayPal to collect invoices — the existing connection credentials will not transfer.

  • STEL Order's Make/Integromat automations do not migrate — workflow definitions must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow Builder

    STEL Order uses Make (formerly Integromat) for automation — the STEL Order Make integration exposes triggers for new clients, orders, products, invoices, and delivery notes. HighLevel has its own Workflow Builder with a fundamentally different trigger-action model. FlitStack AI migrates data only; Make scenarios and STEL Order automations cannot be exported in a format compatible with HighLevel's Workflow Builder. We export every STEL Order workflow definition as a written reference document so your team can rebuild equivalent automations in HighLevel's Workflow Builder. The HighLevel Workflow Builder supports triggers on contact creation, pipeline stage changes, form submissions, calendar bookings, and custom field updates — your team maps STEL Order's automation logic to these triggers during rebuild.

  • HighLevel API 2.0 rate limits cap bulk migrations at 200,000 requests per day — large STEL Order datasets require staged batching

    HighLevel API 2.0 enforces a limit of 200,000 API requests per day and 100 requests per 10 seconds per sub-account. STEL Order datasets with tens of thousands of records (clients + quotes + jobs + invoices + line items) can exceed this during a full migration run. FlitStack AI batches all write operations into staggered calls with automatic retry on 429 responses, and switches to HighLevel's Bulk CSV import path for contacts when API throughput is insufficient. We run a pre-migration API benchmark against your specific sub-account before the full migration to calibrate the batch window. If your STEL Order dataset exceeds 50,000 records, we schedule the migration in two passes: contacts and companies first, then opportunities and tasks in a second pass.

  • STEL Order team restrictions and role-based permissions do not map to HighLevel's permission model

    STEL Order Lite plan includes team management with team restrictions — per-user seat limits and role-based access controls that govern what each team member can see and edit. HighLevel's permission model uses agency-level roles (Admin, Member, Starter) and sub-account access rules, which operate on a different logic than STEL Order's per-seat restrictions. Team restrictions defined in STEL Order do not transfer automatically. FlitStack AI surfaces the full list of STEL Order team roles and their assigned permissions before migration. Your HighLevel admin must recreate access rules in HighLevel's User Roles settings post-migration. We provide a role-mapping worksheet that lists every STEL Order role alongside its nearest HighLevel permission equivalent.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful STEL Order to HighLevel data migration

  1. Audit STEL Order data inventory and define HighLevel custom field schema

    FlitStack AI reads your STEL Order data via the Make integration endpoints and direct API: clients, quotes, jobs, invoices, products, team members, tags, and attachments. We produce a data inventory count per object type and audit every custom field in use. Then we design the HighLevel custom field schema: job status becomes Job_Status__c pick-list, technician becomes Assigned_Technician__c, invoice metadata fields are created on the Contact object, and product tax rates become Line_Item_Tax_Rate__c. We also identify which STEL Order automations and accounting integrations will need manual rebuild and prepare the workflow definition export.

  2. Configure HighLevel pipeline stages and assign value mappings

    Before data lands, your HighLevel admin (or our team) creates the pipeline and stage structure. STEL Order quote statuses (sent, accepted, rejected, draft) map to HighLevel pipeline stage values; we deliver a stage-mapping worksheet that shows every source status alongside its destination stage. Invoice metadata fields (Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Total__c, Invoice_Status__c, Invoice_Due_Date__c) are pre-created on the Contact object. Job-related custom fields are pre-created on the Task object. User accounts in HighLevel are matched by email against STEL Order team members so owner assignment resolves correctly during migration.

  3. Resolve owners and run sample migration with field-level diff

    STEL Order team members are matched by email to HighLevel users for owner assignment. Unmatched team members are flagged before migration — your team either creates their HighLevel account or assigns their records to a fallback owner. We run a sample migration first: typically 50–200 records spanning clients, quotes, jobs, and invoices. The sample produces a field-level diff report showing every mapped field, its source value, and its destination value. You verify job-to-task conversion, invoice file attachment integrity, technician assignment, and pipeline stage mapping before the full run commits.

  4. Execute full migration with invoice-file bulk upload and delta pickup window

    The full migration runs in staged passes: contacts and companies first (via Bulk CSV), then quotes → opportunities, jobs → tasks, and invoice PDFs → HighLevel Files with metadata custom fields. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the main run captures any STEL Order records modified during cutover so HighLevel reflects the final state at go-live. Audit log captures every operation. Invoice PDFs are uploaded as HighLevel Files attached to the relevant contact; payment status from STEL Order's accounting integration is preserved as a note for your team's reference. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies unexpected gaps.

  5. Validate record counts, attachment integrity, and workflow rebuild handoff

    Post-migration, FlitStack AI runs a reconciliation check: total contact count vs. STEL Order client count, opportunity count vs. STEL Order quote count, task count vs. STEL Order job count, and file count vs. STEL Order document count. We verify that every invoice PDF is attached to the correct contact and that all custom fields contain values. Your team receives the exported STEL Order workflow definitions as a rebuild reference, the role-mapping worksheet, and the invoice-metadata custom field guide. A final 30-minute call walks your admin through the HighLevel pipeline stage configuration and confirms the rebuild plan for accounting integrations.

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.

Most STEL Order to HighLevel migrations complete in 3–7 days of clock time for under 10,000 records. Larger datasets with 10,000+ records, extensive custom field schemas, or high invoice-file volumes extend to 2–4 weeks. The longest planning step is designing the HighLevel custom field schema — job status, technician assignment, and invoice metadata fields must be pre-created before data lands. We run a pre-migration API benchmark to calibrate batch sizing and confirm timeline before work begins.
