You can use the BigCommerce connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from BigCommerce and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the BigCommerce Connector

To enable Sync to use data from BigCommerce, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the BigCommerce row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the BigCommerce connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to BigCommerce

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

• Store Id - Enter your BigCommerce store identifier (Id). To locate your store Id, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your BigCommerce account.

  2. From the BigCommerce home page, select Advanced Settings > API Accounts.

  3. Select Click Create API Account > Create V2/V3 API Token. This selection displayes the API Path text field, which contains a URL with your store Id: https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/StoreId}/v3. Copy your store Id and enter it in the Store Id field on the BigCommerce connection page in CData Sync.

     After you copy your store Id in BigCommerce, you can continue to create an API account (if you need one) or you can click Cancel to exit your BigCommerce account.

CData Sync supports authenticating to BigCommerce in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

• OAuth (default)
• PersonalAccessToken

OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

• Auth Scheme – Select OAuth.

• OAuth Client Id - Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

• OAuth Client Secret - Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Personal Access Token

To connect with a personal access token, specify the following properties:

• Auth Scheme - Select PersonalAccessToken.

• OAuth Access Token - Enter the access token that you use to connect when you use OAuth.

To obtain a personal access token, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your BigCommerce account.

2. From the BigCommerce home page, select Advanced Settings > API Accounts.

3. Select Create API Account > Create V2/V3 API Token.

4. Enter the name of your account in the Name text field.

5. Choose the OAuth scopes for the API account that you are creating. The scope for each item cannot be None or read-only because Sync cannot access data that is marked None and it cannot modify data that is marked read-only.

6. Click Save. After you save these settings, a text box opens that saves as a TXT file. This TXT file contains your access token.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

2. If you authenticate with OAuth, click Connect to BigCommerce to connect to your BigCommerce account.

3. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
