Connect BigCommerce and PostgreSQL

Connecting BigCommerce and PostgreSQL for a company could enable the direct transfer of e-commerce data, such as orders, products, and customer information, into a structured database environment. This could support advanced reporting, analytics, and custom business process automation by leveraging the capabilities of PostgreSQL to organize and query data collected from BigCommerce.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and PostgreSQL?

A company that operates both BigCommerce and PostgreSQL could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may have to manually enter or update data in both platforms, increasing the risk of errors, duplicated effort, and inconsistent records. For example, customer or order information could diverge between the two systems if updates are not made in both places, leading to situations where decisions are made based on outdated or incomplete data. This can affect customer service, inventory management, and financial reporting. Data that could be exchanged between an e-commerce platform like BigCommerce and a database system such as PostgreSQL includes product catalogs, order details, inventory levels, customer records, and sales transactions. Automating the flow of this information could help ensure that both systems reflect the most current business activity and reduce the administrative burden on staff. The specific data that can be exchanged, and the way it is exchanged, depends on what each system allows through its API and must be defined for each individual case.

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 PostgreSQL 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.
