Connect BigCommerce and Microsoft SQL Server

Connecting BigCommerce and Microsoft SQL Server for a company could allow for automated transfer of ecommerce data, such as orders, products, or customer information, into a central database. This could support consolidated reporting, data analysis, and integration with other business systems that rely on SQL Server as a data source.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and Microsoft SQL Server?

A company that uses both BigCommerce and Microsoft SQL Server could benefit from connecting these systems to enable data exchange between their e-commerce platform and their central database. Such a connection could help reduce manual data entry, which often leads to errors and consumes significant staff time. Without this connection, there is a risk that information such as orders, inventory levels, or customer records would need to be entered into both systems separately. This can result in records drifting apart, making it difficult to maintain consistency and accuracy. Decisions could then be made based on outdated or incomplete data, which can affect customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. The types of data that could be exchanged between an e-commerce platform and a database system include sales orders, product details, stock quantities, customer information, and financial transactions. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and is determined for each 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 SQL Server 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.
