Overview

The Backend part of the solution consists of Shopware 6, which is used as a headless API, and a MariaDB relational database.

Master data (categories, products…) is stored in StoreManager and is synchronized with Shopware via ERP connector. The main responsibility of the ERP connector is to keep the data in sync between the two systems. It will receive data updates (like products) and will send new orders back to StoreManager.
