Why teams connect BigQuery and Shopify

Sync Shopify into BigQuery continuously and push warehouse results back onto CRM records, one two-way connection instead of two pipelines.

The CRM feeds the warehouse and the warehouse should feed the CRM: relationship data flows one way, and computed scores, segments, and customer context flow back. Most teams build the first half as a batch pipeline and never quite get to the second.

Stacksync does both with one connection. ProductVariants, Orders, Customers, Abandoned Checkouts from Shopify land in BigQuery as live tables, updated within seconds, and columns computed in BigQuery write back to fields in Shopify. There is no separate ETL and reverse-ETL stack to stitch together and no jobs to babysit.

Common use cases

  • Write inventory levels from a WMS or ERP into Shopify locations to keep availability accurate.
  • Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • Feed ML feature tables in BigQuery from operational systems on a continuous schedule
  • Land CRM and ERP records in BigQuery continuously so dashboards reflect business systems without nightly batch jobs

Cleanup that sticks

Deduplication and normalization done in BigQuery can be written back, so warehouse-side cleanup actually fixes the CRM.

CRM analytics on live data

Accounts, contacts, and activity from Shopify are queryable in BigQuery moments after they change, so dashboards stop lagging the reality they describe.

Scores and segments back on the record

Lead scores, churn risk, or usage segments computed in BigQuery appear as fields in Shopify, where the people working accounts actually see them.

What you can sync between BigQuery 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.

BigQuery objects Shopify objects
Projects Connection scope: the service account grants access per project. ProductVariants Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Tables The syncable unit: only tables can be synced per the Stacksync docs. Orders Purchase transactions; pushed to ERPs for fulfillment and billing, and read into databases for reporting.
Partitioned tables Synced like regular tables; partition columns map to target fields. Customers Buyer records; matched to CRM contacts for marketing and lifetime-value analysis.
Clustered tables Supported; clustering is transparent to the sync. Abandoned Checkouts Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs.
Datasets Organizational container — you pick which dataset’s tables to sync. Products Catalog entries; often mastered in a PIM or ERP and written into Shopify.

BigQuery

Integration surface
GoogleSQL via the BigQuery REST API, client libraries, JDBC/ODBC drivers, and the Storage Read/Write APIs
Authentication
Google Cloud service account: create a dedicated service account, grant roles (BigQuery Data Editor, BigQuery Job User, Cloud Functions Service Agent, Cloud Run Developer, Eventarc Event Receiver
Change detection
Real-time notification service deployed into your Google Cloud project: Eventarc ("a notification service that enables real-time updates to happen") with a Cloud Run "secure portal for real-time notification service in

Rate limits
Subject to Google Cloud quotas on queries, DML, and streaming; DML is supported but the platform favors append-heavy batch and streaming loads over row-at-a-time writes

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

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