Connect BigCommerce and Microsoft Power BI

Connecting BigCommerce and Microsoft Power BI for a company could enable the transfer of sales and product data from the e-commerce platform into the business intelligence tool. This would support the creation of custom reports and dashboards, helping decision makers analyze performance, track trends, and inform business strategies using up-to-date information from online sales operations.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and Microsoft Power BI?

A company that operates both BigCommerce and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data to flow automatically between their e-commerce platform and their business analytics environment. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually export data from BigCommerce and then import it into Power BI for reporting and analysis. This manual process can lead to duplicated effort, errors in data entry, and inconsistencies between the two systems. Over time, records may become outdated or diverge, making it harder for decision makers to trust the accuracy of their reports and act on current information. If a connection were established, it could allow for the exchange of data such as sales transactions, customer details, product information, and inventory levels from BigCommerce to be visualized and analyzed in Power BI. This could support more timely and informed business decisions by ensuring that reports and dashboards reflect the latest available figures. 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 BigCommerce and Microsoft Power BI 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.
