Orders, Invoices, and Carts can now be integrated directly into HubSpot’s Data Modeling Tools (such as Data Model Overview and Custom Object Builder).

They enable custom objects and properties without code, adapting the CRM to each business reality. The result is cleaner data, clear relationships between entities, and a solid foundation for marketing, sales, and service teams to make more informed, effective decisions.
This advancement enables RevOps and Analytics teams to build more complete data models, connecting revenue information to broader marketing and sales operations.
Key benefits:
