Why teams connect MariaDB and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in MariaDB: 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 Order Transactions, Sales Channels, Media, Products from Shopware into MariaDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shopware holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in MariaDB, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shopware 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 Replicate ERP or billing master data into MariaDB databases that power customer-facing applications
  • 02 Feed a warehouse continuously from MariaDB using binlog-based capture instead of scheduled dumps
  • 03 Write tracking numbers and delivery state onto `order_delivery` from a 3PL or WMS so storefront order status reflects fulfillment.
  • 04 Consolidate orders and customers from multiple `sales_channel` storefronts into one Postgres database for cross-channel analysis.

Common sync patterns

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in MariaDB for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MariaDB back into Shopware, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shopware, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in MariaDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between MariaDB and Shopware

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.

MariaDB objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
JSON Columns Semi-structured payloads validated with JSON functions. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. JSON Columns is specific to MariaDB and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Stored Procedures is specific to MariaDB and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases (Schemas) Top-level namespaces that scope a sync's reads and writes. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Databases (Schemas) is specific to MariaDB and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Tables is specific to MariaDB and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Views is specific to MariaDB and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Products The product catalog (`product`), including parent/child variants, per-currency nested price arrays, and stock; synced two-way with ERP, PIM, or a database. Columns is specific to MariaDB and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MariaDB 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.

MariaDB Shopware Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MariaDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing.

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

Shopware MariaDB 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 applied to MariaDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • MariaDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
  • 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.
