Why teams connect Channelengine and MySQL
Give your engineers Channelengine's products, orders, and customers in MySQL: 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 Offers (price and stock), Shipments, Returns, Cancellations from Channelengine into MySQL 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 MySQL, 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 Replicate ERP master data (customers, items, pricing) into the MySQL databases behind storefronts and portals
- 02 Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
- 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
Controlled write-back
Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MySQL 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 MySQL 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 Channelengine API, rate limits, and retries.
What you can sync between Channelengine and MySQL
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 | MySQL objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. | Returns is specific to Channelengine and Stored Procedures to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. | Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. | Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. | Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Databases (Schemas) to MySQL — 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. | Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. | Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Tables to MySQL — 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-side projections used as outbound sync sources. | Orders is specific to Channelengine and Views to MySQL — 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. | Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. | Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Channelengine and MySQL
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 MySQL 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 MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
MySQL Channelengine Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.
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.
- MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.

How the Channelengine and MySQL 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.
MySQL
- Integration surface
- SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol)
- Authentication
- Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host)
- Change detection
- Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when binary logging is enabled)

FAQ
Channelengine and MySQL integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Channelengine and MySQL: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Channelengine's Returns and Cancellations), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Common patterns for Channelengine and MySQL: Controlled write-back; Read the store's data with a query; Internal tools and automations without API code. Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MySQL back into Channelengine, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.
-
Channelengine: 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. MySQL: SQL wire protocol (MySQL client/server protocol). Authentication: Database credentials entered as a connection string or parameters, with optional SSL root certificate upload and optional SSH tunnel (SSH user + SSH host). Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
MySQL: INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE provides native upsert semantics for idempotent inbound writes. Channelengine: Products use a parent/child model where the parent is a non-purchasable blueprint and only children are sold; nesting is limited to a single level. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Channelengine and MySQL without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Channelengine and MySQL records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Channelengine and MySQL connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Channelengine–MySQL integration in-house.
