Why teams connect Elasticsearch and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in Elasticsearch: 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 Sales Channels, Media, Products, Categories from Shopware into Elasticsearch 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 Elasticsearch, 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 Feed enriched customer records into an index used for vector or hybrid search in AI applications.
  • 02 Sync CRM accounts and contacts into an Elasticsearch index to power internal search across customer records.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Sync `customer` records two-way with a CRM so support and marketing see order history while reps write updates back onto the account.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

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

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shopware, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Elasticsearch 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.

What you can sync between Elasticsearch 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.

Elasticsearch objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Aliases Stable read/write names that let a sync cut over between index versions without downtime. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Aliases is specific to Elasticsearch and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data streams Append-only targets for time-series or event data pushed from source systems. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Data streams is specific to Elasticsearch and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side transforms applied to documents as a sync writes them. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Ingest pipelines is specific to Elasticsearch and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Reusable settings and mappings applied automatically to new indices a sync creates. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Index templates is specific to Elasticsearch and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indices Target containers for synced records; each holds a table-like collection of JSON documents. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Indices is specific to Elasticsearch and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents The unit of sync; JSON records created, updated, and deleted by _id. 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. Documents is specific to Elasticsearch and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Elasticsearch 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.

Elasticsearch Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Elasticsearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or sequence fields.

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

Shopware Elasticsearch 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 written to Elasticsearch through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Elasticsearch: No fixed request quota; throughput is bounded by cluster sizing, thread pools, and bulk queue capacity.
  • 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.
