Why teams connect Akeneo and Sage X3

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and Sage X3 share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; Sage X3 owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products in Akeneo with Deliveries, Business Partners (Customers and Suppliers), Products, Sales Orders in Sage X3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Sage X3, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 03 Publish per-site stock levels to storefronts and a WMS on a schedule.
  • 04 Replicate GL journals and sales history to a warehouse for multi-company, multi-legislation reporting.

Common sync patterns

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Akeneo creates the matching record in Sage X3 with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Sage X3, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Sage X3

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects Sage X3 objects How this pairing syncs
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Products Item master with units, costing, and site data, synced to commerce and PLM tools. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Business Partners (Customers and Suppliers) Shared partner master synced with CRMs and procurement systems. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Business Partners (Customers and Suppliers) to Sage X3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for fulfillment status. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Sales Orders to Sage X3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier-facing systems. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Purchase Orders to Sage X3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Work Orders Production orders read by MES and scheduling integrations. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Work Orders to Sage X3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Stock / Inventory by site On-hand and allocated quantities per site, synced to storefronts and WMS. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Stock / Inventory by site to Sage X3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Sage X3

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Akeneo Sage X3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Sage X3 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Sage X3 Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Sage X3 for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Scheduled polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

How the Akeneo and Sage X3 connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities

Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

Sage X3

Integration surface
SOAP and REST web services published from X3 business objects; direct SQL access to the underlying database on-prem
Authentication
Dedicated web-service user credentials (Basic auth) against configured connection pools
Change detection
Scheduled polling; no general webhook surface on the classic web services layer
