Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in Azure Cosmos DB: 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 Order Line Items, Order Deliveries, Order Transactions, Sales Channels from Shopware into Azure Cosmos DB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shopware holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Azure Cosmos DB, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shopware 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 Sync CRM or ERP records into a Cosmos DB container that backs a customer-facing application.
  • 02 Mirror Cosmos DB items into Postgres so teams can query operational data with standard SQL.
  • 03 Two-way sync of the `product` catalog — titles, nested price arrays, and stock — between Shopware and an ERP or PIM so pricing and inventory stay aligned.
  • 04 Stream new `order` records with their `order_line_item`, `order_delivery`, and `order_transaction` rows into a warehouse or accounting system for revenue and fulfillment reporting.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Azure Cosmos DB back into Shopware, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shopware, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Azure Cosmos DB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

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

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB and Shopware

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 Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Customers to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Orders Order headers (`order`) with totals, state, and sales-channel reference; read out to accounting and written back for status updates. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Orders to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB and Shopware

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.

Azure Cosmos DB Shopware Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.

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

Shopware Azure Cosmos DB Sub-second propagation

DetectionShopware notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. App-system webhooks on entity events (product.written, order.written, customer.written) deliver the changed record's primaryKey and updated field.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Shopware: No general throttle on Admin API entity endpoints; Shopware's RateLimiter guards only specific routes (login, oauth, password reset, guest order/contact) and is configurable on self-hosted stores.
