Connect BigCartel and SAP

Connecting BigCartel and SAP for a company that uses both could enable the automated transfer of sales data, inventory updates, and customer information between the two platforms. Such a connection could support more accurate financial reporting, streamlined order fulfillment, and improved visibility into business operations across sales and enterprise resource planning functions.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between BigCartel and SAP around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect BigCartel and SAP?

A company operating both BigCartel and SAP could benefit from connecting these systems to ensure that data flows efficiently between their ecommerce and enterprise resource planning platforms. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter orders, customer details, and inventory updates manually in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. This manual process can result in records diverging between the two systems, leading to situations where business decisions are made based on outdated or inconsistent information. For example, inventory levels in BigCartel might not reflect recent shipments or adjustments recorded in SAP, and financial data in SAP could lag behind actual sales activity on BigCartel. If a connection were established, the types of data exchanged could include sales orders, customer records, product details, inventory quantities, and possibly payment or fulfillment statuses, depending on what each system manages. Ultimately, what can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what BigCartel and SAP make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
