Why teams connect Apache Cassandra and Shopify

Treat Shopify like part of your database: its records live in Apache Cassandra as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Apache Cassandra, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors ProductMedias, ProductVariants, Orders, Customers from Shopify into Collections, Counters, Keyspaces, Tables in Apache Cassandra with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Shopify with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Keep customer records aligned between Shopify and a CRM for segmentation and lifetime-value analysis.
  • Write inventory levels from a WMS or ERP into Shopify locations to keep availability accurate.
  • Sync customer profile data between Cassandra and a CRM so operational apps and sales tools agree.
  • Write attributes computed elsewhere (scores, preferences) back into Cassandra tables serving low-latency reads.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Shopify arrive as row changes in Apache Cassandra, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Shopify become tables in Apache Cassandra you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Apache Cassandra sync onto the matching records in Shopify, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between Apache Cassandra and Shopify

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.

Apache Cassandra objects Shopify objects
User-Defined Types Composite column types that syncs must flatten or map to structured fields. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis.
Collections List, set, and map columns handled with type-aware field mapping. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Counters Increment-only counter columns, usually read-only in syncs. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify.
Keyspaces Top-level namespaces with replication settings that scope a sync connection. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables Wide-column tables addressed by partition key, the unit of row-level sync. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Partitions and Rows Records located by partition and clustering keys during reads and upserts. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting.

How the Apache Cassandra and Shopify connectors work

Apache Cassandra

Integration surface
CQL over the Cassandra native binary protocol
Authentication
Database credentials (password authenticator); TLS and role-based grants where configured
Change detection
Commit-log based CDC on tables with CDC enabled, or polling using writetime metadata and timestamp columns
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API quotas; throughput is governed by cluster capacity and consistency-level choices

Shopify

Integration surface
GraphQL Admin API (primary) and REST Admin API (legacy)
Authentication
OAuth via a custom Shopify app: admin creates an app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, enables required API scopes, sets the Stacksync redirect URL, then supplies shop name + Client ID and Client Secret to Stacksync
Change detection
Webhook topics per resource, with polling on updated_at as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.
