Why teams connect Firebase and Shipwire
Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in Firebase: 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 Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings from Shipwire into Firebase 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 Firebase, 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 Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.
- 02 Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.
- 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
Controlled write-back
Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Firebase 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 Firebase 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 Shipwire API, rate limits, and retries.
What you can sync between Firebase 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.
| Firebase objects | Shipwire objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. | 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. | Subcollections is specific to Firebase and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. | Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. | Realtime Database Nodes is specific to Firebase and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. | Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. | Authentication Users is specific to Firebase and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. | Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. | Cloud Storage Objects is specific to Firebase and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. | Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. | Cloud Functions Triggers is specific to Firebase and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. | Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. | Firestore Collections is specific to Firebase and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Firebase 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.
Firebase Shipwire Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Shipwire through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Shipwire Firebase 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 written to Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput 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.

FAQ
Firebase and Shipwire integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Firebase and Shipwire: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Firebase's Subcollections and Realtime Database Nodes), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Firebase and Shipwire connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Firebase–Shipwire integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Firebase and Shipwire. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Firebase: Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes. On Shipwire: Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics; polling the list endpoints as a fallback (no CDC/log stream). Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Firebase side: Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects, Cloud Functions Triggers, plus custom fields where Firebase exposes them. On the Shipwire side: Receivings, Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
