Why teams connect SAP Hana and Shopify

Treat Shopify like part of your database: its records live in SAP Hana as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in SAP Hana, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants from Shopify into Triggers, System-versioned temporal tables, System views (SYS schema), Column store tables in SAP Hana with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Shopify with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write inventory levels from a WMS or ERP into Shopify locations to keep availability accurate.
  • 02 Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • 03 Read SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS system views to auto-discover schema and generate field mappings when new tables are added to the sync.
  • 04 Detect inserts, updates, and deletes on high-write tables via AFTER triggers or a last-modified column and replicate the deltas downstream near-real-time.

Common sync patterns

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Shopify arrive as row changes in SAP Hana, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Shopify become tables in SAP Hana you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to SAP Hana sync onto the matching records in Shopify, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

What you can sync between SAP Hana and Shopify

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.

SAP Hana objects Shopify objects How this pairing syncs
SQL views Standard database views; read-only projections synced outbound when the source data should not be exposed as raw base tables. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. SQL views is specific to SAP Hana and ProductMedias to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces that group tables and views; the connector targets a schema and enumerates its objects from the catalog to build the sync. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Schemas is specific to SAP Hana and ProductVariants to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences Server-generated key values; relevant when writing rows into tables whose identity is assigned HANA-side rather than by the source system. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting. Sequences is specific to SAP Hana and Orders to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Triggers AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers capture changes into a shadow/logging table so updates and deletes are detected near-real-time without full scans. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis. Triggers is specific to SAP Hana and Customers to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System-versioned temporal tables Column store tables with a history table tracking each row's validity period; used to reconstruct update and delete history for change capture. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. System-versioned temporal tables is specific to SAP Hana and Abandoned Checkouts to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System views (SYS schema) Catalog and monitoring views such as SYS.TABLES and TABLE_COLUMNS; read to discover schema and auto-generate field mappings for new tables. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify. System views (SYS schema) is specific to SAP Hana and Products to Shopify — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP Hana and Shopify

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 Hana Shopify Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SAP Hana are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table.

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

Shopify SAP Hana Sub-second propagation

DetectionShopify notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook topics per resource, with polling on updated_at as a fallback.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP Hana as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP Hana: No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.
  • Shopify: GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.

How the SAP Hana and Shopify connectors work

SAP Hana

Integration surface
SQL over the SAP HANA client (JDBC/ODBC drivers); OData/REST via XS for app-layer access
Authentication
Dedicated database user credentials over an encrypted TLS connection (password sent hashed); Kerberos, SAML, JWT, and X.509 certificate authentication are also supported. SAP HANA Cloud enforces TLS and IP allowlisting.
Change detection
Polling on a last-modified timestamp column, or AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers writing to a shadow table; system-versioned temporal tables and SLT/SDI provide trigger- and log-based CDC. No native webhooks.
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No SaaS-style request quota; throughput is bounded by connection limits, statement memory caps, and workload-class admission control (concurrency/memory limits) that share capacity with production queries.

Shopify

Integration surface
GraphQL Admin API (primary) and REST Admin API (legacy)
Authentication
OAuth via a custom Shopify app: admin creates an app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard, enables required API scopes, sets the Stacksync redirect URL, then supplies shop name + Client ID and Client Secret to Stacksync
Change detection
Webhook topics per resource, with polling on updated_at as a fallback
Capabilities

Rate limits
GraphQL uses a calculated query-cost budget; the REST API uses a leaky-bucket model.
