Why teams connect Linnworks and Shopware

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shopware and Linnworks share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shopware runs the storefront and takes the orders; Linnworks owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Order Deliveries, Order Transactions, Sales Channels, Media in Shopware with Locations, Purchase Orders, Suppliers, Channel Listings in Linnworks field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Linnworks, order and customer detail from Shopware — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync `customer` records two-way with a CRM so support and marketing see order history while reps write updates back onto the account.
  • 02 Write tracking numbers and delivery state onto `order_delivery` from a 3PL or WMS so storefront order status reflects fulfillment.
  • 03 Sync product and listing data with a PIM so channel listings stay aligned with the catalog
  • 04 Push customer and order data to a CRM or marketing platform for post-purchase campaigns

Common sync patterns

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Linnworks, tracking and status flow back to Shopware so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

How changes propagate between Linnworks 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.

Linnworks Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Linnworks for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on order and stock endpoints.

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

Shopware Linnworks 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 Linnworks through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Linnworks: Per-endpoint rate limits apply on the Linnworks API.
  • 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.
