Why teams connect MarkLogic and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in MarkLogic: 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 Line Items, Order Deliveries, Order Transactions, Sales Channels from Shopware into MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic, 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 Sync curated master data from a MarkLogic data hub into operational CRMs and ERPs.
  • 02 Land document data in relational warehouses by reading TDE views as SQL rows.
  • 03 Two-way sync of the `product` catalog — titles, nested price arrays, and stock — between Shopware and an ERP or PIM so pricing and inventory stay aligned.
  • 04 Stream new `order` records with their `order_line_item`, `order_delivery`, and `order_transaction` rows into a warehouse or accounting system for revenue and fulfillment reporting.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from MarkLogic 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 MarkLogic 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 Shopware API, rate limits, and retries.

What you can sync between MarkLogic 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.

MarkLogic objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Documents JSON and XML documents, the primary records read from and written to the database. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Documents is specific to MarkLogic and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collections Named groupings used to scope which documents a sync reads or updates. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Collections is specific to MarkLogic and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Semantic Triples RDF data stored alongside documents, queryable with SPARQL for linked-data syncs. 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. Semantic Triples is specific to MarkLogic and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
TDE Views Relational projections of documents that let syncs read document data as SQL rows. Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. TDE Views is specific to MarkLogic and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Document Metadata & Properties Permissions, quality, and property fragments carried with each document. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Document Metadata & Properties is specific to MarkLogic and Customers to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases & Forests Storage units that define the scope and placement of synced content. Orders Order headers (`order`) with totals, state, and sales-channel reference; read out to accounting and written back for status updates. Databases & Forests is specific to MarkLogic and Orders to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MarkLogic 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.

MarkLogic Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MarkLogic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction log.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
