Why teams connect Amazon Lightsail and Bigcommerce

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Amazon Lightsail: 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 Price Lists, Shipments, Products, Variants and SKUs from Bigcommerce into Amazon Lightsail 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 Amazon Lightsail, 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 Migrate data continuously from a Lightsail database to a larger managed database as an application outgrows the VPS tier.
  • 02 Sync a Lightsail-hosted application database with a CRM so customer records match what the app stores.
  • 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

React to store changes

Updates in Bigcommerce arrive as row changes in Amazon Lightsail, so jobs and triggers can respond the moment an order, price, or stock level changes.

Keep catalog and inventory current

Prices, stock levels, or product details maintained in Amazon Lightsail 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 Amazon Lightsail for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Amazon Lightsail 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.

Amazon Lightsail objects Bigcommerce objects How this pairing syncs
Views Query-backed read-only sources. Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Views is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Orders to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users and Grants Database accounts used to give the sync connection scoped access. Customers V3 customer accounts, customer groups, and addresses; synced two-way with a CRM so storefront and GTM records match. Users and Grants is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Customers to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Managed Databases Lightsail-hosted MySQL or PostgreSQL instances that a sync connects to as standard databases. Categories Catalog V3 category tree; mapped for merchandising and kept aligned with a product master or PIM. Managed Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Categories to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Logical databases on the instance that scope a connection. Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Databases is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Brands to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Namespaces used when selecting tables to sync. Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Schemas is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Inventory to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Relational tables read from and written to at row level. Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Tables is specific to Amazon Lightsail and Price Lists to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon Lightsail 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.

Amazon Lightsail Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Amazon Lightsail for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp or key columns.

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

Bigcommerce Amazon Lightsail 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 applied to Amazon Lightsail as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon Lightsail: No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle.
  • 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.

Amazon Lightsail

Integration surface
MySQL or PostgreSQL wire protocol (SQL) to the managed database endpoint
Authentication
Database credentials; public endpoint access must be enabled or a tunnel used
Change detection
Polling on timestamp or key columns; log-based CDC depends on engine parameter access, which is more limited than on full RDS
Capabilities

Rate limits
No API-style rate limits; capacity is fixed by the chosen Lightsail bundle

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
