Why teams connect Azure SQL Database and Shopify

Treat Shopify like part of your database: its records live in Azure SQL Database 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 Azure SQL Database, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants, Orders from Shopify into Change tracking / CDC tables, Tables, Views, Schemas in Azure SQL Database 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

  • Keep customer records aligned between Shopify and a CRM for segmentation and lifetime-value analysis.
  • Write inventory levels from a WMS or ERP into Shopify locations to keep availability accurate.
  • Replicate Azure SQL tables to a warehouse without building custom CDC pipelines.
  • Consolidate data from several line-of-business apps into one Azure SQL database as an integration hub.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Shopify arrive as row changes in Azure SQL Database, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

Query the CRM like a database

Accounts, contacts, and custom objects from Shopify become tables in Azure SQL Database you can join with application data directly.

Product events onto CRM records

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

What you can sync between Azure SQL Database 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.

Azure SQL Database objects Shopify objects
Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify.
Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables. ProductMedias Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting.
Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis.

How the Azure SQL Database and Shopify connectors work

Azure SQL Database

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS), the same protocol as SQL Server; T-SQL over standard drivers
Authentication
SQL authentication (database credentials) or Microsoft Entra ID authentication
Change detection
Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC

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