Connect BigCommerce and Rest API

Connecting BigCommerce and a REST API for a company could enable the transfer of data such as orders, products, or inventory between the e-commerce platform and other business systems. This could support automation of business processes, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual entry by allowing information to flow between the two environments.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and Rest API?

A company operating both BigCommerce and a system accessible via a REST API could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same information into both systems, which can result in duplicated effort, increased risk of errors, and wasted time. Over time, records could diverge, with customer, product, or order information becoming inconsistent between platforms. This misalignment could lead to decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data, affecting customer service, inventory management, and financial reporting. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of data such as orders, customer details, inventory levels, and product information. For example, new orders placed in BigCommerce could be sent automatically to another business system, or inventory updates from a warehouse management tool could update stock levels in BigCommerce. The exact nature of what can 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 Rest API 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.
