Why teams connect Akeneo and Supabase

Give your engineers Akeneo's products, orders, and customers in Supabase: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Assets, Channels and locales, Media files, Products from Akeneo into Supabase and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Akeneo holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Supabase, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Akeneo with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push product events captured in Supabase Postgres to marketing tools for lifecycle campaigns
  • 02 Consolidate Supabase project data into a warehouse for analytics while keeping the app database as the system of record
  • 03 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.

Common sync patterns

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Akeneo API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

Updates in Akeneo arrive as row changes in Supabase, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Supabase sync back onto Akeneo, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Supabase

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 Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and JSONB Columns to Supabase — 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. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Database Functions to Supabase — 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. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Tables to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Views to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Schemas to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Supabase

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 Supabase 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 Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.

How the Akeneo and Supabase 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
read · write · webhooks
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.

Supabase

Integration surface
Direct PostgreSQL wire protocol connection, plus an auto-generated REST API (PostgREST)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string) for SQL access; API keys (anon / service role) for the REST layer
Change detection
Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime; database webhooks can also fire on row changes
Capabilities

Rate limits
SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits
