Why teams connect Channelengine and Supabase

Give your engineers Channelengine's products, orders, and customers in Supabase: 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 Supabase 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 Supabase, 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 Sync application tables in Supabase with the CRM two-way so new signups appear as contacts and sales edits flow back to the app
  • 02 Mirror billing and subscription records into Supabase tables the application can join directly
  • 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 Supabase 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 Supabase 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 Supabase

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 Supabase 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. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Returns is specific to Channelengine and Schemas to Supabase — 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. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Cancellations is specific to Channelengine and auth.users to Supabase — 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. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. Backorders is specific to Channelengine and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Order documents is specific to Channelengine and JSONB Columns to Supabase — 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. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Orders is specific to Channelengine and Database Functions to Supabase — 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. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. Products (product content) is specific to Channelengine and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Channelengine and Supabase

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

Supabase Channelengine Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.

How the Channelengine and Supabase 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.

Supabase

Integration surface
Direct PostgreSQL wire protocol connection, plus an auto-generated REST API (PostgREST)
Authentication
Database credentials (connection string) for SQL access; API keys (anon / service role) for the REST layer
Change detection
Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime; database webhooks can also fire on row changes
Capabilities
