Connect BigCommerce and SolidWorks

Connecting BigCommerce and SolidWorks for a company could enable the transfer of product data and design specifications between e-commerce and engineering platforms. This connection could help ensure that product listings reflect the most current technical information, reducing manual entry and supporting more accurate order fulfillment and production planning.

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

Why connect BigCommerce and SolidWorks?

A company that uses both BigCommerce and SolidWorks could benefit from enabling data exchange between the two systems. Without a connection, employees may have to manually enter product or design data into both platforms, which increases the risk of errors, duplications, and inconsistencies. Over time, records in each system could drift apart, leading to situations where decisions are based on outdated or mismatched information. This can hinder operational efficiency and affect customer satisfaction if product details or inventory levels do not match across the business. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of product specifications, inventory data, and design files between BigCommerce and SolidWorks. For example, updates to product designs in SolidWorks could be reflected in the product details available in BigCommerce, supporting accurate listings and reducing the need for repeated manual updates. Conversely, sales or inventory data from BigCommerce could inform design or production planning in SolidWorks. The specific types of data that can be exchanged depend on what each system exposes through its API, and this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 SolidWorks 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.
