Why teams connect Channelengine and Neo4j

Give your engineers Channelengine's products, orders, and customers in Neo4j: 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 Returns, Cancellations, Backorders, Order documents from Channelengine into Neo4j 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 Neo4j, 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 Feed identity and access data into a graph for entitlement and blast-radius analysis.
  • 02 Write computed relationship scores (fraud, influence, similarity) back to operational systems.
  • 03 Push product content from a PIM, ERP, or database into ChannelEngine's Products endpoint so listings stay current across every connected marketplace.
  • 04 Stream stock and price to the Offers endpoint (PUT /v2/offer/stock) whenever inventory changes so marketplaces reflect availability and overselling is avoided.

Common sync patterns

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Channelengine, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Neo4j 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.

React to store changes

Updates in Channelengine arrive as row changes in Neo4j, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

What you can sync between Channelengine and Neo4j

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 Neo4j objects How this pairing syncs
Cancellations Order cancellations; create with POST /v2/cancellations and read with GET /v2/cancellations. Written when stock is unavailable and read back for reconciliation. Relationships Typed, directed edges that carry the connections syncs exist to model. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and Relationships to Neo4j — 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. Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Properties to Neo4j — 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. Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and Labels to Neo4j — 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. Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Indexes & Constraints to Neo4j — 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. Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Databases to Neo4j — 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. Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Offers (price and stock) is specific to Channelengine and Users & Roles to Neo4j — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Neo4j

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 Neo4j 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 written to Neo4j through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Neo4j Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph 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.

How the Channelengine and Neo4j 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.

Neo4j

Integration surface
Bolt binary protocol with Cypher via official drivers, plus an HTTP query API
Authentication
Username/password (basic auth); enterprise deployments add SSO options
Change detection
Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes; otherwise Cypher polling on timestamp properties
