Why teams connect Channelengine and Databricks

Make Databricks the analytics and enrichment layer behind Channelengine: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

Databricks is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Channelengine runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Stacksync syncs Schemas, Delta Tables, Views, Materialized Views in Databricks with Shipments, Returns, Cancellations, Backorders in Channelengine field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • 03 Sync Returns and Cancellations two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile marketplace returns and cancellations with the ERP.
  • 04 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.

Common sync patterns

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between Databricks and Channelengine so counts and states agree across reporting and operations.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, corrections in either propagate to the other so analytics and the storefront share one identity.

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Channelengine land in Databricks as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Databricks

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.

Channelengine objects Databricks objects How this pairing syncs
Backorders Records marking part of an order as temporarily out of stock; create with POST /v2/backorders and read with GET /v2/backorders by merchant reference or since a date. Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Views to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Order documents Invoices and other order documents; retrieved as a paginated, filterable list via GET /v2/orders/documents for finance and archiving systems. Read-only. Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Materialized Views to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders Marketplace and merchant-fulfilled orders; read via GET /v2/orders and GET /v2/orders/new (status NEW), then acknowledged with POST /v2/orders/acknowledge so later shipment, return, and cancellation calls can reference them. Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Volumes to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products (product content) Catalog records created and updated via POST /v2/products and deactivated via DELETE; use a parent/child variant model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint. Written into ChannelEngine from a PIM, ERP, or database. SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and SQL Warehouses to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Offers (price and stock) Price and stock updates via PUT /v2/offer/stock and the offers endpoints; separate from product content so fast-changing stock can be pushed often, and supports bulk updates across stock locations. Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Change Data Feed to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Fulfillment records; write with POST /v2/shipments to mark an order shipped with tracking, read with GET /v2/shipments. Pushed back from a warehouse or ERP so marketplaces update the buyer. Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Catalogs to Databricks — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Databricks

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.

Channelengine Databricks Sub-second propagation

DetectionChannelengine notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes.

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

Databricks Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Databricks are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Channelengine: Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.
  • Databricks: Throughput depends on the SQL warehouse size; API calls are subject to workspace rate limits.

How the Channelengine and Databricks connectors work

Channelengine

Integration surface
REST API (Merchant API v2); per-tenant base URL https://{tenant}.channelengine.net/api
Authentication
API key passed as the 'apikey' parameter; ChannelEngine recommends sending it in a request header rather than the URL because some webservers log full URLs
Change detection
Webhooks fire on order creation and on return and shipment/cancellation changes; product content and offers use change-tracking endpoints (GET /v2/products/data and /v2/products/offers) with an acknowledge pattern that returns only changed records, plus polling GET /v2/orders/new
Capabilities

Rate limits
Rate limits are per endpoint and returned in headers: x-rate-limit-limit (interval length in minutes), x-rate-limit-remaining, and retry-after (seconds to wait); e.g. POST /v2/supportorder allows 3 calls per minute.

Databricks

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC via SQL warehouses, plus a REST API including statement execution
Authentication
Personal access tokens or OAuth machine-to-machine credentials for service principals
Change detection
Delta Lake Change Data Feed for row-level changes; otherwise incremental polling on watermark columns
Capabilities
