The BigCommerce API enables merchants to seamlessly manage their e-commerce operations by automating tasks, syncing data, and integrating with a plethora of other services. With Pipedream, you can tap into the BigCommerce API to create custom workflows that handle everything from order processing to customer relationship management. The result is a more efficient, personalized shopping experience for customers and less manual work for store owners.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
bigcommerce: {
type: "app",
app: "bigcommerce",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/${this.bigcommerce.$auth.store_hash}/v3/catalog/summary`,
headers: {
"X-Auth-Token": `${this.bigcommerce.$auth.access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Order Processing: When a new order is placed in BigCommerce, trigger a workflow in Pipedream that captures the order details, then generates a packing slip, and emails it to your fulfillment center. Connect to a shipping service API, like Shippo or EasyPost, to automatically create shipping labels and track the order until delivery.
Inventory Management: Set up a Pipedream workflow that monitors changes in inventory levels on BigCommerce. When stock for a popular item runs low, the workflow can trigger reordering from suppliers, update inventory quantities across multiple sales channels, or send restock notifications to relevant team members via Slack or email.
Customer Retention Campaigns: Use Pipedream to listen for events such as completed orders or customer anniversaries. Trigger a sequence that integrates BigCommerce with an email marketing service like Mailchimp or SendGrid to send personalized promotions, gather customer feedback with surveys, or offer loyalty discounts to encourage repeat business.
BigCommerce uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your BigCommerce account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to BigCommerce APIs in both code and no-code steps.
