Set up a connection to BigCommerce

BigCommerce is a cloud-based eCommerce platform that enables businesses to create, run, and scale online stores. It is designed for both small businesses and large enterprises, offering a variety of features to build websites, manage products, and handle customer interactions.

Important

Basic authentication will be deprecated soon. Hence, it is recommended to use OAuth or Token authentication instead.

Set up a connection

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings:

Setting Instructions
Name your connection * 

Enter a clear and distinguishable name.

Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.

Auth type * Select your BigCommerce account authentication type (OAuth 2.0, Token or Basic).
Auth type: OAuth 2.0 
OAuth 2.0 client * 

Select the OAuth 2.0 client that stores the client ID and client secret. For detailed information on retrieving the client credentials, see Create app.

To add an OAuth 2.0 client and configure your credentials, click the plus (+) button. Click the edit ( ) button to modify a selected OAuth 2.0 client. For more information, see Create an OAuth 2.0 iClient resource

Scopes *  

Scopes are OAuth 2.0 permissions that BigCommerce defines to limit access to your account.

Store hash *  Enter your BigCommerce account store hash. For example, if your account URL is https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/123456/, then 123456 is your store hash.
Auth type: Token 
Access token *

Enter your BigCommerce account access token.

Multiple layers of protection are in place, including AES 256 encryption, to keep your connection’s access token safe. When editing this form later, you must enter this token again; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text.
