Connect BigCommerce and PostNL

Connecting BigCommerce and PostNL for a company could enable the transfer of order and shipping data between the e-commerce platform and the logistics provider. This could support more efficient order fulfillment, tracking, and shipping label generation, helping to reduce manual data entry and improve the accuracy of delivery information exchanged between the two systems.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and PostNL?

A company operating both BigCommerce and PostNL could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate workflows. If the systems were not connected, staff would need to manually transfer order and shipping data between BigCommerce, which handles online sales, and PostNL, which provides parcel delivery services. This manual process could result in duplicated data entry, increased risk of errors, and inconsistencies between sales and shipping records. Over time, orders in BigCommerce and shipping statuses in PostNL could drift apart, leading to confusion in customer service and operational delays. Decisions based on outdated or mismatched information could negatively impact customer satisfaction and business performance. The types of data that could be exchanged between these systems include order details, customer shipping addresses, tracking numbers, and shipping status updates. 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 PostNL 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.
