Why teams connect Channelengine and InfluxDB

Give your engineers Channelengine's products, orders, and customers in InfluxDB: 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 Shipments, Returns, Cancellations, Backorders from Channelengine into InfluxDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Channelengine holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in InfluxDB, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Channelengine 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 Push metered usage aggregates into billing systems to drive usage-based pricing.
  • 02 Write events from operational databases or applications into InfluxDB as time-stamped points for monitoring.
  • 03 Write Shipments with tracking back to ChannelEngine when the warehouse or ERP marks an order shipped, so each marketplace notifies the buyer.
  • 04 Sync Returns and Cancellations two-way so customer-service and finance systems reconcile marketplace returns and cancellations with the ERP.

Common sync patterns

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in InfluxDB sync back onto Channelengine, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in InfluxDB for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from InfluxDB back into Channelengine, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

What you can sync between Channelengine and InfluxDB

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 InfluxDB 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. Fields The unindexed numeric or string values carried by each point. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Fields to InfluxDB — 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. Retention policies Automatic expiry rules that determine how long synced history remains queryable. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Retention policies to InfluxDB — 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. Organizations Tenancy scope for tokens and buckets in multi-tenant deployments. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Organizations to InfluxDB — 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. Buckets / databases Named containers with retention settings that scope reads and writes. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Buckets / databases to InfluxDB — 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. Measurements The table-like grouping for points, typically mapped to a synced dataset. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Measurements to InfluxDB — 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. Points Individual time-stamped records, the unit of write via line protocol. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Points to InfluxDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and InfluxDB

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 InfluxDB 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 InfluxDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

InfluxDB Channelengine Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls InfluxDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with time-range queries.

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.
  • InfluxDB: Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.

How the Channelengine and InfluxDB 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.

InfluxDB

Integration surface
REST API with line-protocol writes; queries via InfluxQL, Flux, or SQL depending on version
Authentication
API token
Change detection
Polling with time-range queries; data is timestamped, so incremental reads use time cursors
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits on cloud plans; self-hosted deployments are bounded by hardware.
