BigCommerce Integration

Zynk's BigCommerce integration connects your BigCommerce store to the accounting, ERP and shipping systems that fulfil and account for its orders. Orders and customers export to Sage, Xero or Business Central, while products, inventory levels, shipments and order statuses are updated in BigCommerce from the back office. It suits retailers and wholesalers selling through BigCommerce.

Benefits

Why businesses connect BigCommerce

Orders reach the accounts

Every BigCommerce order exports to your accounting or ERP system with its customer, lines, tax and shipping, ready to post as an invoice or sales order. Finance stops working from order emails and CSV downloads.

Inventory follows the back office

Inventory levels update in BigCommerce from the system that holds your stock. When products sell through other channels or arrive from suppliers, the store picks up the change on the next run instead of overselling.

Shipments recorded in the store

Shipments import into BigCommerce once orders leave your warehouse, ERP or shipping platform, and order statuses update with them, so customers can see tracking and your team stops editing orders one at a time.

Catalogue maintained once

Products import into BigCommerce from your ERP or product system, and categories and products export for mapping, so prices, descriptions and new lines are maintained in one place rather than two.

Customer records aligned

Customers export from BigCommerce to your ledger or CRM, and trade accounts opened in the back office import into the store, so account details match wherever your team looks them up.

The problem

Why integrate BigCommerce?

BigCommerce handles the storefront and checkout well. After the order, the work moves to other systems: the accounts, the warehouse and the carrier. Without integration, orders are rekeyed, stock is adjusted by hand and someone updates every shipped order in the BigCommerce control panel. The effort grows with each extra order and channel.

Without integration

  • Orders copied from the BigCommerce control panel into the accounts
  • Stock levels in the store lagging behind the warehouse
  • Orders marked as shipped by hand, often late
  • Product changes made twice, in the ERP and again in the store

With Zynk

  • Orders export to your accounting or ERP system automatically
  • Inventory updates keep BigCommerce in line with your stock system
  • Shipments and order statuses import once goods are despatched
  • Products import into BigCommerce from the system that owns them

How it works

How the BigCommerce integration works

  1. Step 1: Connect store and back office

    Zynk connects to your BigCommerce store through an API account created in the store's control panel, and to the accounting, ERP or shipping platform that will exchange data with it.

  2. Step 2: Map products and tax

    Map SKUs, variants, tax classes, shipping methods and customer groups to the codes your back office uses, and decide whether orders post as invoices or as sales orders.

  3. Step 3: Check with test orders

    Process a range of test orders, including discounts, mixed product types and different shipping options, and compare totals in both systems before the integration goes live.

  4. Step 4: Run on a schedule

    Orders and inventory run as often as every few minutes, products and customers on the schedule you prefer. Alerts highlight any order that could not post, so it is fixed while the details are fresh.

BigCommerce integration FAQs

Can BigCommerce orders post into Sage?
Yes. A BigCommerce store can feed Sage 50 UK, Sage 50 US, Sage 200 or Sage Intacct through Zynk. Orders and customers post into Sage as invoices or sales orders, and stock levels and shipment details return to the store.
Does Zynk update BigCommerce inventory levels?
Yes. Zynk updates inventory in BigCommerce from the system that holds your stock, such as Sage, Business Central or a warehouse platform. Runs can be scheduled every few minutes, keeping availability in the store close to what is really on the shelf.
Can shipments and tracking be sent back to BigCommerce?
Yes. Once an order is despatched in your ERP, warehouse or shipping platform, Zynk imports the shipment into BigCommerce and can update the order status, so the order history and the customer's tracking stay accurate.
Does BigCommerce provide an API for integrations?
Yes. BigCommerce provides REST APIs for its catalogue, customers and orders, which is what makes automated integration possible. Zynk handles the connection for you, so there is no app for your team to build, host or keep updated.
Is BigCommerce available in Zynk Autopilot?
Yes. BigCommerce is supported in Zynk Autopilot, the no-code option for common scenarios, and in Zynk Workflow, the low-code platform for tailored integrations. We recommend the right fit once we understand your systems and processes.
Can BigCommerce sales go to Xero or QuickBooks instead?
Yes. BigCommerce orders and customers can post to Xero as invoices and contacts, or to QuickBooks as invoices or sales receipts with matching customers. Products can also be maintained from your accounting system where it holds the item list.
How long before a BigCommerce integration is running?
Template-based BigCommerce projects can go live in days. More involved builds, such as several warehouses or custom posting rules, need extra mapping and testing, so we set the timeline together during scoping.
