Why teams connect Cin7 and MySQL

Give your engineers Cin7's data in MySQL: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Purchase orders, Contacts, Branches / locations, Stock adjustments and transfers from Cin7 into MySQL and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Cin7 is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in MySQL sync back into Cin7 with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
  • 02 Feed a warehouse from MySQL continuously using binlog-based capture instead of nightly dumps
  • 03 Consolidate stock movements from multiple branches into one reporting database.
  • 04 Publish Cin7 inventory levels to storefronts, marketplaces, and a CRM so every channel quotes real availability.

Common sync patterns

Where Cin7 is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in MySQL for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MySQL back into Cin7, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Cin7 live in MySQL as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Cin7 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.

Cin7 objects MySQL objects How this pairing syncs
Products SKU records with options and pricing, synced with storefront and marketplace catalogs. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Products is specific to Cin7 and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory levels Stock on hand by branch or location, published outward for availability. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. Inventory levels is specific to Cin7 and JSON Columns to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Orders captured from all channels; the main object for fulfillment and revenue syncs. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Sales orders is specific to Cin7 and Stored Procedures to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supplier orders synced with procurement and accounting workflows. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Purchase orders is specific to Cin7 and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Customers and suppliers, matched to CRM records to keep account data consistent. Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Contacts is specific to Cin7 and Databases (Schemas) to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Branches / locations Warehouse entities that scope every stock movement and order allocation. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Branches / locations is specific to Cin7 and Tables to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Cin7 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.

Cin7 MySQL Sub-second propagation

DetectionCin7 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on modified-date filters.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MySQL Cin7 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 Cin7 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Cin7: Subject to per-account API rate limits that differ between Cin7 Omni and Cin7 Core.
  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
