Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Shopify

Treat Shopify like part of your database: its records live in Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Orders, Customers, Abandoned Checkouts, Products from Shopify into Containers, Items (JSON documents), Partition keys, Change feed entries in Azure Cosmos DB 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

  • Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • Sync orders, customers, and inventory into Postgres for operational reporting across stores.
  • Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • Consolidate documents from multiple containers into a single reporting store.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Shopify become tables in Azure Cosmos DB you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

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

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Shopify API, limits, and retries.

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Shopify objects
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.

How the Azure Cosmos DB and Shopify connectors work

Azure Cosmos DB

Integration surface
REST API and SDKs over HTTPS (API for NoSQL, formerly the SQL API); also MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table API surfaces
Authentication
Account keys, resource tokens, or Microsoft Entra ID role-based access
Change detection
Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

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.
