Why teams connect DuckDB and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in DuckDB: 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 Products, Stock, Receivings, Returns from Shipwire into DuckDB 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 DuckDB, 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 Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.
  • 02 Sync SaaS data to Parquet on object storage and query it with DuckDB without standing up a warehouse.
  • 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

React to store changes

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

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in DuckDB sync back onto Shipwire, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

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

What you can sync between DuckDB 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.

DuckDB objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. 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. External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) is specific to DuckDB and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Products Catalog SKUs including kits, virtual kits, and marketplace products; created and edited via API, commonly mastered in a PIM or ERP and pushed into Shipwire with dimensions and pricing. Attached databases is specific to DuckDB and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Database files is specific to DuckDB and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Schemas is specific to DuckDB and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Tables is specific to DuckDB and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Views is specific to DuckDB and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between DuckDB 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.

DuckDB Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls DuckDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling or full re-reads.

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

Shipwire DuckDB 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 DuckDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • DuckDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by local compute and I/O.
  • 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.
