Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and Shopware

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

Shopware runs the storefront and takes the orders; SAP Business ByDesign 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 Orders, Order Line Items, Order Deliveries, Order Transactions in Shopware with Employees, Business Partners (Accounts), Contacts, Sales Orders in SAP Business ByDesign field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from SAP Business ByDesign, order and customer detail from Shopware — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 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.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • 04 Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.

Common sync patterns

Where SAP Business ByDesign is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from SAP Business ByDesign 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 SAP Business ByDesign with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

How changes propagate between SAP Business ByDesign 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.

SAP Business ByDesign Shopware Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP Business ByDesign for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-changed timestamps.

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

Shopware SAP Business ByDesign 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 SAP Business ByDesign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

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.
