Why teams connect Render Postgres and Shipwire

Give your engineers Shipwire's products, orders, and customers in Render Postgres: 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 Render Postgres 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 Render Postgres, 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 Two-way sync CRM or ERP objects into Render Postgres tables so product and ops teams query business data with plain SQL.
  • 02 Capture row-level changes via logical replication and propagate them to a warehouse or another database in near real time.
  • 03 Push Products, kits, and their dimensions and pricing from a PIM or ERP into the Shipwire catalog and keep SKUs aligned.
  • 04 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.

Common sync patterns

Order data where your code can use it

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

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Render Postgres back into Shipwire, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Shipwire, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Render Postgres as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between Render Postgres 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.

Render Postgres objects Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Indexes and Constraints Primary keys, unique constraints, and foreign keys; unique keys drive idempotent upserts and conflict resolution during sync. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Indexes and Constraints is specific to Render Postgres and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables with full column typing; synced two-way with CRMs, ERPs, and SaaS apps so application data is queryable as plain Postgres rows. 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. Tables is specific to Render Postgres and Orders to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Saved queries exposed as read-only relations; read out to BI tools or downstream syncs without duplicating transformation logic. 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. Views is specific to Render Postgres and Products to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized Views Precomputed query results refreshed on demand; read for fast reporting tables that downstream systems can consume. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Materialized Views is specific to Render Postgres and Stock to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables per app or environment; sync targets are scoped per schema to keep synced data isolated and tidy. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Schemas is specific to Render Postgres and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns and Types Full Postgres type system including JSONB and arrays; field mappings preserve native types instead of flattening to strings. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Columns and Types is specific to Render Postgres and Returns to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Render Postgres 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.

Render Postgres Shipwire Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Render Postgres are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication via WAL and replication slots for change data capture when enabled on the instance, with timestamp or cursor-based polling as the.

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

Shipwire Render Postgres 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 applied to Render Postgres as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Render Postgres: No API rate limits — throughput is bounded by the instance's plan (CPU, RAM, connection limit); connection pooling is recommended since managed plans cap concurrent connections.
  • 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.
