Why teams connect QAD ERP and Shopware

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shopware and QAD ERP share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shopware runs the storefront and takes the orders; QAD ERP owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Order Transactions, Sales Channels, Media, Products in Shopware with Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions in QAD ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from QAD ERP, order and customer detail from Shopware — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate orders and customers from multiple `sales_channel` storefronts into one Postgres database for cross-channel analysis.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.
  • 04 Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where QAD ERP is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from QAD ERP publish to Shopware, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Shopware creates the matching record in QAD ERP with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

What you can sync between QAD ERP 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.

QAD ERP objects Shopware objects How this pairing syncs
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Customers Storefront customer accounts (`customer`) with addresses and group; synced two-way with a CRM or support tool. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility 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. Inventory balances is specific to QAD ERP and Products to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting Categories The navigation and catalogue tree (`category`); mapped to product taxonomy in a warehouse or written from a PIM. General ledger transactions is specific to QAD ERP and Categories to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Orders Order headers (`order`) with totals, state, and sales-channel reference; read out to accounting and written back for status updates. Items is specific to QAD ERP and Orders to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Order Line Items Per-order product rows (`order_line_item`); read alongside the order for revenue and fulfillment reporting. Suppliers is specific to QAD ERP and Order Line Items to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Order Deliveries Shipping records (`order_delivery`) carrying delivery state and tracking codes; written back from a 3PL or WMS. Sales orders is specific to QAD ERP and Order Deliveries to Shopware — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP 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.

QAD ERP Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

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

Shopware QAD ERP 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 written to QAD ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API 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.
