Why teams connect Magento and Shopify

Keep the customers and orders that Shopify and Magento share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Shopify holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Magento runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.

Stacksync links ProductMedias, ProductVariants, Orders, Customers in Shopify to Products, Configurable / variant products, Categories, Orders in Magento with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.

The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • 02 Sync orders, customers, and inventory into Postgres for operational reporting across stores.
  • 03 Read new Orders to trigger provisioning, accounting, or 3PL fulfillment in an operational database as they are placed.
  • 04 Sync Orders, invoices, and shipments from Magento into Postgres or a warehouse for revenue, margin, and fulfillment-SLA reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Magento records orders: purchase history on the account

Orders and their status from Magento appear on the matching contact or account in Shopify, so reps see what a customer has bought and what is in flight before the next conversation.

New buyers become CRM records

A customer created in Magento creates or updates the matching contact or account in Shopify, so first-time and repeat buyers land in the relationship system without a manual import.

Contact and address details stay consistent

An email, phone, or shipping and billing address corrected in either system updates the other, so the next order and the next outreach both use current information.

What you can sync between Magento and Shopify

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.

Magento objects Shopify objects How this pairing syncs
Products Catalog items keyed by SKU; carry created_at/updated_at for incremental polling and are written two-way from a PIM or ERP into the storefront. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Orders Sales orders with line items, totals, and status; typically read out of Magento into a warehouse or ERP for fulfillment and revenue reporting. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Customers Customer accounts and address book; synced two-way with a CRM so order history and contact records stay consistent. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Configurable / variant products Parent configurable products link to simple product variants by attribute; synced so size/color SKUs and their prices stay aligned with source systems. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Configurable / variant products is specific to Magento and ProductMedias to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories Catalog tree and product-to-category assignments; written into Magento to control merchandising and read out for taxonomy reporting. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Categories is specific to Magento and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory source items (MSI) Per-source stock quantities under Multi-Source Inventory; written from a WMS/ERP so storefront stock matches the warehouse. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Inventory source items (MSI) is specific to Magento and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Magento and Shopify

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.

Magento Shopify Sub-second propagation

DetectionMagento notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with searchCriteria filters on updated_at (catalog, sales, and customer entities carry created_at/updated_at).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Magento: No fixed request-per-minute cap on PaaS/on-prem; responses page via searchCriteria pageSize/currentPage under a default maximum page size of 300 (Web API Input Limits), with /async/bulk endpoints for large writes.
  • Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.

REST and GraphQL Web APIs (SOAP also available)
Authentication
Token-based OAuth: an integration's access token (consumer key/secret + access token/secret) or a Bearer admin token (default 4-hour expiry); Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service authenticates via Adobe IMS (OAuth 2)
Change detection
Polling with searchCriteria filters on updated_at (catalog, sales, and customer entities carry created_at/updated_at); optional near-real-time via the Adobe Commerce Webhooks / Adobe I/O Events modules (order/created, product/updated, customer/created)
