Why teams connect ClickHouse and Shopware

Make ClickHouse the analytics and enrichment layer behind Shopware: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

ClickHouse is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Shopware runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Stacksync syncs Dictionaries, Tables (MergeTree family), Databases, Views in ClickHouse with Products, Categories, Customers, Orders in Shopware field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 02 Land product event data alongside synced CRM accounts so analysts join usage and revenue in one place.
  • 03 Write tracking numbers and delivery state onto `order_delivery` from a 3PL or WMS so storefront order status reflects fulfillment.
  • 04 Consolidate orders and customers from multiple `sales_channel` storefronts into one Postgres database for cross-channel analysis.

Common sync patterns

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between ClickHouse and Shopware so counts and states agree across reporting and operations.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, corrections in either propagate to the other so analytics and the storefront share one identity.

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Shopware land in ClickHouse as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

What you can sync between ClickHouse and Shopware

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.

ClickHouse objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Materialized views is specific to ClickHouse and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Distributed tables is specific to ClickHouse and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Dictionaries is specific to ClickHouse and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Tables (MergeTree family) is specific to ClickHouse and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Databases is specific to ClickHouse and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Products The product catalog (`product`), including parent/child variants, per-currency nested price arrays, and stock; synced two-way with ERP, PIM, or a database. Views is specific to ClickHouse and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between ClickHouse and Shopware

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.

ClickHouse Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Shopware through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Shopware ClickHouse Sub-second propagation

DetectionShopware notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. App-system webhooks on entity events (product.written, order.written, customer.written) deliver the changed record's primaryKey and updated field.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Shopware: No general throttle on Admin API entity endpoints; Shopware's RateLimiter guards only specific routes (login, oauth, password reset, guest order/contact) and is configurable on self-hosted stores.
