Why teams connect Couchbase and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in Couchbase: 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 Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates, Orders from Shipwire into Couchbase and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shipwire holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Couchbase, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shipwire 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 Consolidate documents from multiple Couchbase clusters into a single analytical store.
  • 02 Write cleaned or enriched records from operational databases back into Couchbase collections that applications read.
  • 03 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.
  • 04 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.

Common sync patterns

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Couchbase for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Couchbase back into Shipwire, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shipwire, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Couchbase as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Couchbase and Shipwire

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.

Couchbase objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. JSON Documents is specific to Couchbase and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Orders B2C fulfillment orders (create, update, cancel, get) with item, hold, routing, and tracking subresources; typically written from a storefront or ERP and synced back with status and trackings. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase and Shipwire

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.

Couchbase Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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

Shipwire Couchbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
