Why teams connect DEAR Inventory and Shopware

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shopware and DEAR Inventory share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shopware runs the storefront and takes the orders; DEAR Inventory owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Orders, Order Line Items, Order Deliveries, Order Transactions in Shopware with Locations, Products, Stock levels, Sale orders in DEAR Inventory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from DEAR Inventory, order and customer detail from Shopware — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream new `order` records with their `order_line_item`, `order_delivery`, and `order_transaction` rows into a warehouse or accounting system for revenue and fulfillment reporting.
  • 02 Sync `customer` records two-way with a CRM so support and marketing see order history while reps write updates back onto the account.
  • 03 Sync stock levels and product data to e-commerce storefronts and a CRM so sales quotes reflect real availability.
  • 04 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.

Common sync patterns

Where DEAR Inventory is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from DEAR Inventory publish to Shopware, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Shopware creates the matching record in DEAR Inventory with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

What you can sync between DEAR Inventory 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.

DEAR Inventory objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Products SKU records with pricing, suppliers, and bill-of-material links; the master data most syncs start from. 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. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Customers Buyer records aligned with CRM and accounting counterparts. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Suppliers Vendor records referenced on purchase orders. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Suppliers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stock adjustments and transfers Inventory movement transactions that explain changes in availability. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Stock adjustments and transfers is specific to DEAR Inventory and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. Assemblies / Production is specific to DEAR Inventory and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. Orders Order headers (`order`) with totals, state, and sales-channel reference; read out to accounting and written back for status updates. Locations is specific to DEAR Inventory and Orders to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
