Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in IBM Db2: 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 IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2, 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 Keep reference and master data aligned between Db2 and newer cloud databases during modernization projects.
  • 02 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • 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 IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2 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.

IBM Db2 objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. 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. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tablespaces Physical storage layout that operators consider when adding synced tables. 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. Tablespaces is specific to IBM Db2 and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases The connection target; each database holds the schemas a sync addresses. 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. Databases is specific to IBM Db2 and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Schemas is specific to IBM Db2 and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Tables is specific to IBM Db2 and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Views is specific to IBM Db2 and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 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.

IBM Db2 Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

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

Shipwire IBM Db2 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 IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • 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.
