Why teams connect Neo4j and Shopware

Give your engineers Shopware's products, orders, and customers in Neo4j: 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 Orders, Order Line Items, Order Deliveries, Order Transactions from Shopware into Neo4j 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 Neo4j, 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 product catalog and order history into Neo4j to power recommendation queries.
  • 02 Feed identity and access data into a graph for entitlement and blast-radius analysis.
  • 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

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.

React to store changes

Updates in Shopware arrive as row changes in Neo4j, 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 Neo4j sync back onto Shopware, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between Neo4j 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.

Neo4j objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Properties Key-value attributes on both nodes and relationships, mapped from source fields. Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Properties is specific to Neo4j and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels Node type markers used to map source tables or objects onto the graph. Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Labels is specific to Neo4j and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes & Constraints Uniqueness constraints and indexes that make MERGE-based upserts reliable and fast. Order Transactions Payment records (`order_transaction`) holding payment method and state; read to reconcile against a billing or finance system. Indexes & Constraints is specific to Neo4j and Order Transactions to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Named databases in a single instance that scope multi-tenant or multi-domain syncs. Sales Channels Per-storefront configuration (`sales_channel`); used to scope and consolidate orders and customers across multiple storefronts. Databases is specific to Neo4j and Sales Channels to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users & Roles Security principals controlling what an integration credential can query or modify. Media Media assets (`media`) such as product images; referenced by id so file URLs and metadata sync into downstream catalogs. Users & Roles is specific to Neo4j and Media to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Nodes Entity records (customers, products, accounts) written from source systems as labeled nodes. 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. Nodes is specific to Neo4j and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Neo4j 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.

Neo4j Shopware Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Neo4j are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Neo4j Change Data Capture on Enterprise and Aura streams graph changes.

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

Shopware Neo4j 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.

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.
