Connect Edifact and BigCommerce

Connecting Edifact and BigCommerce for a company could enable the automated exchange of business documents, such as orders or invoices, between the two platforms. This could help streamline order processing and data entry, reduce manual handling, and support more efficient communication between the company’s online storefront and its trading partners.

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

Why connect Edifact and BigCommerce?

A company operating both Edifact and BigCommerce could benefit from connecting these systems to allow critical business data to flow between them. Without such a connection, teams may have to enter the same information in both platforms, which can lead to errors, wasted time, and inconsistencies. As a result, records could diverge, and staff may end up making decisions based on outdated or incomplete data, impacting customer service, inventory management, and financial reporting. For companies using these systems, the types of data that could be exchanged might include order details, product information, inventory levels, and customer records. Synchronizing this data could help ensure that both systems reflect the same information, supporting more accurate reporting and reducing manual effort. What data can actually be exchanged would depend on the specific capabilities and APIs available from each system, and must be determined 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 Edifact and BigCommerce 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.
