Why teams connect OpenSearch and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in OpenSearch: 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 Returns, Purchase Orders, Trackings, Rates from Shipwire into OpenSearch and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Shipwire holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in OpenSearch, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Shipwire 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 Index support tickets and activity logs from SaaS tools for operational dashboards.
  • 02 Backfill or rebuild indexes from a database after mapping changes without hand-written ETL.
  • 03 Pull Returns and tracking.delivered events into a support or analytics database for reverse-logistics and delivery-SLA reporting.
  • 04 Two-way sync Orders between a storefront or ERP database and Shipwire so new orders create fulfillment requests and Stacksync writes Trackings and status (processed, submitted, delivered) back.

Common sync patterns

React to store changes

Updates in Shipwire arrive as row changes in OpenSearch, 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 OpenSearch sync back onto Shipwire, 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 OpenSearch for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between OpenSearch and Shipwire

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.

OpenSearch objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Orders B2C fulfillment orders (create, update, cancel, get) with item, hold, routing, and tracking subresources; typically written from a storefront or ERP and synced back with status and trackings. Index aliases is specific to OpenSearch and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Products Catalog SKUs including kits, virtual kits, and marketplace products; created and edited via API, commonly mastered in a PIM or ERP and pushed into Shipwire with dimensions and pricing. Index templates is specific to OpenSearch and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Ingest pipelines is specific to OpenSearch and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Data streams is specific to OpenSearch and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Snapshots is specific to OpenSearch and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Indexes is specific to OpenSearch and Purchase Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between OpenSearch and Shipwire

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.

OpenSearch Shipwire Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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

Shipwire OpenSearch Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
