Why teams connect Airtable and Bigcommerce

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Airtable: read them with normal queries, write inventory and prices back through the sync, and skip the storefront API.

E-commerce data sits behind an API built for the storefront, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for order routing, inventory logic, reporting, or back-office tools, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it through every catalog change and platform upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments, Products from Bigcommerce into Airtable and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Bigcommerce holds, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Airtable, such as new prices, stock levels, or fulfillment status, sync back into Bigcommerce with its validations respected.

Merchandising and operations keep working in the storefront, engineers keep working in the database, and neither side has to reconcile against a nightly export.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • 02 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Products and Variants between BigCommerce and a PIM or ERP so catalog content, SKUs, and pricing stay aligned across systems.
  • 04 Write Inventory levels from a WMS or ERP onto BigCommerce Variants and SKUs so storefront availability reflects warehouse on-hand counts.

Common sync patterns

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Airtable sync back onto Bigcommerce, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Airtable for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Airtable back into Bigcommerce, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

What you can sync between Airtable and Bigcommerce

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Airtable objects Bigcommerce objects How this pairing syncs
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. Products Catalog V3 records with custom fields and images; mastered in a PIM or ERP and written to BigCommerce, or read out to a warehouse. Tables is specific to Airtable and Products to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Variants and SKUs Per-variant pricing and inventory; synced to keep stock and SKU data aligned with an ERP or WMS at the option level. Records is specific to Airtable and Variants and SKUs to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Fields is specific to Airtable and Orders to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Filtered subsets of a table that can scope which records a sync reads. Customers V3 customer accounts, customer groups, and addresses; synced two-way with a CRM so storefront and GTM records match. Views is specific to Airtable and Customers to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables. Categories Catalog V3 category tree; mapped for merchandising and kept aligned with a product master or PIM. Linked records is specific to Airtable and Categories to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Brands to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Bigcommerce

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Airtable Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Bigcommerce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Bigcommerce Airtable Sub-second propagation

DetectionBigcommerce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks push near-real-time events (store/order/*, store/product/*, store/customer/* and more).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Airtable through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Bigcommerce: OAuth quota refreshes every 30 seconds and varies by plan (about 20,000 requests/hour on Standard and Plus, 60,000 on Pro, higher on Enterprise); the X-Rate-Limit-Requests-Left header reports remaining calls.

How the Airtable and Bigcommerce connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities

Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.

Bigcommerce

Integration surface
REST Management API (V2 and V3), plus GraphQL Storefront and Admin APIs
Authentication
OAuth API account credentials — a store-generated client ID and permanent access token sent in the X-Auth-Token header, limited to the OAuth scopes granted when the account is created (e.g. store_v2_orders, store_v2_products)
Change detection
Webhooks push near-real-time events (store/order/*, store/product/*, store/customer/* and more); polling uses date_modified:min/max filters on Products, Orders, and Customers
