Why teams connect Channelengine and MongoDB

Give your engineers Channelengine's products, orders, and customers in MongoDB: 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 Orders, Products (product content), Offers (price and stock), Shipments from Channelengine into MongoDB 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 MongoDB, 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 Consolidate documents from multiple clusters or tenants into a single warehouse-facing store.
  • 02 Sync MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.
  • 03 Load Orders and Returns into Postgres or a warehouse for marketplace sales, fulfillment, and margin reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 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

Order data where your code can use it

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

Controlled write-back

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

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Channelengine, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in MongoDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Channelengine and MongoDB

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 MongoDB 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. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — 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. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Indexes to MongoDB — 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. Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Views to MongoDB — 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. Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Change streams to MongoDB — 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. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and GridFS files to MongoDB — 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. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. Shipments is specific to Channelengine and Databases to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and MongoDB

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

MongoDB Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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.

How the Channelengine and MongoDB 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.

MongoDB

Integration surface
MongoDB wire protocol via official drivers; Atlas additionally offers an administration REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Database credentials (username/password) or TLS/SSL X.509 certificate (.pem upload), entered individually or via a MongoDB connection string (SRV or standard); Stacksync IP allowlisting required
Change detection
MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node); Stacksync leverages these built-in tools to track changes in real time
