Why teams connect Channelengine and Google Cloud Platform

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

Google Cloud Platform 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 BigQuery datasets, BigQuery tables, Cloud SQL databases, Cloud Storage objects in Google Cloud Platform with Backorders, Order documents, Orders, Products (product content) 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 Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.
  • 02 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.

Common sync patterns

One product catalog

Where both systems hold product or catalog data, cleaned and enriched attributes stay aligned so the store and the warehouse describe the same items.

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between Google Cloud Platform 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.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform objects How this pairing syncs
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. Pub/Sub topics Event streams used to move change events between systems in near real time. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Pub/Sub topics to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Firestore documents to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Spanner tables to Google Cloud Platform — 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. BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and BigQuery datasets to Google Cloud Platform — 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. BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and BigQuery tables to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Returns Marketplace- and merchant-initiated returns; read via GET /v2/returns and created with POST /v2/returns. Synced two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile with the ERP. Cloud SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Returns is specific to Channelengine and Cloud SQL databases to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google Cloud Platform Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Cloud Platform pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery.

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.
  • Google Cloud Platform: Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own limits.

How the Channelengine and Google Cloud Platform 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
read · write · webhooks
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.

Google Cloud Platform

Integration surface
Per-service REST and gRPC APIs; BigQuery speaks SQL and Cloud SQL exposes standard database wire protocols
Authentication
IAM service accounts with OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery tables
