Why teams connect Couchbase and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware'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 Categories, Customers, Orders, Order Line Items from Shopware into Couchbase and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shopware 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 Shopware 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 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 02 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.
  • 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

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shopware, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Couchbase 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 Shopware API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

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

What you can sync between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Global Secondary Indexes is specific to Couchbase and Order Line Items to Shopware — 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. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. XDCR replications is specific to Couchbase and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Full-text search indexes is specific to Couchbase and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Buckets is specific to Couchbase and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Scopes Namespaces inside a bucket used to group collections, similar to schemas. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Scopes is specific to Couchbase and Media to Shopware — 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. 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. Collections is specific to Couchbase and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Couchbase 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.

Couchbase Shopware 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 Shopware through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Shopware Couchbase 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 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.
  • 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.
