Why teams connect Google Cloud Spanner and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in Google Cloud Spanner: 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 Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates from Shipwire into Google Cloud Spanner 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 Google Cloud Spanner, 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 Run a two-way sync between Spanner and a SaaS tool so edits made by ops teams land back in the application database.
  • 02 Consolidate data from a globally distributed Spanner deployment into regional business systems.
  • 03 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 04 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.

Common sync patterns

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shipwire, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Google Cloud Spanner 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.

React to store changes

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

What you can sync between Google Cloud Spanner 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.

Google Cloud Spanner objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Rows The unit of read and write in each sync cycle, keyed by primary key. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Rows is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Interleaved tables Child rows physically co-located with parents; synced as related records. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Interleaved tables is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Trackings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Secondary indexes Used to make incremental read queries efficient on non-key columns. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Secondary indexes is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change streams Capture inserts, updates, and deletes for log-style change data capture. 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. Change streams is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections useful for shaping data before it leaves Spanner. 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. Views is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level containers that scope schema and sync configuration. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Databases is specific to Google Cloud Spanner and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Google Cloud Spanner 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.

Google Cloud Spanner Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud Spanner are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Change streams (log-style CDC), or timestamp-based polling queries.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Google Cloud Spanner: Throughput is bounded by the instance's provisioned compute capacity rather than a fixed API quota.
  • 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.
