Why teams connect MotherDuck and Shopware

Make MotherDuck the analytics and enrichment layer behind Shopware: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

MotherDuck is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Shopware runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Stacksync syncs Views, Database Shares, Attached Local DuckDB Databases, Databases in MotherDuck with Sales Channels, Media, Products, Categories in Shopware field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync modeled MotherDuck tables outward to operational tools for activation
  • 02 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 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

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Shopware land in MotherDuck as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

Where Shopware accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in MotherDuck write onto the matching records in Shopware, so merchandising and messaging act on warehouse logic.

One product catalog

Where both systems hold product or catalog data, cleaned and enriched attributes stay aligned so the store and the warehouse describe the same items.

What you can sync between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Attached Local DuckDB Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. 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. Databases is specific to MotherDuck and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. Schemas is specific to MotherDuck and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Tables is specific to MotherDuck and Customers to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Orders Order headers (`order`) with totals, state, and sales-channel reference; read out to accounting and written back for status updates. Views is specific to MotherDuck and Orders to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Database Shares is specific to MotherDuck and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between MotherDuck 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.

MotherDuck Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
  • 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.
