Why teams connect MongoDB and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in MongoDB: 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 Sales Channels, Media, Products, Categories from Shopware into MongoDB 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 MongoDB, 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 Consolidate documents from multiple clusters or tenants into a single warehouse-facing store.
  • 02 Sync MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.
  • 03 Sync `customer` records two-way with a CRM so support and marketing see order history while reps write updates back onto the account.
  • 04 Write tracking numbers and delivery state onto `order_delivery` from a 3PL or WMS so storefront order status reflects fulfillment.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Shopware arrive as row changes in MongoDB, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in MongoDB sync back onto Shopware, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

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

What you can sync between MongoDB 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.

MongoDB objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Collections is specific to MongoDB and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Documents is specific to MongoDB and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Embedded documents and arrays is specific to MongoDB and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. 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. Indexes is specific to MongoDB and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets. Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. Views is specific to MongoDB and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Change streams is specific to MongoDB and Customers to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MongoDB 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.

MongoDB Shopware Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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

Shopware MongoDB 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 MongoDB 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.
