Why teams connect Azure Cosmos DB and Bigcommerce

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Azure Cosmos DB: 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 Variants and SKUs, Orders, Customers, Categories from Bigcommerce into Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB, 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 Mirror Cosmos DB items into Postgres so teams can query operational data with standard SQL.
  • 02 Two-way sync between a Cosmos DB-backed product catalog and a PIM or commerce platform.
  • 03 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.
  • 04 Push Price Lists from an ERP into BigCommerce to drive customer-group and B2B pricing without manual catalog edits.

Common sync patterns

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Bigcommerce, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in Azure Cosmos DB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Bigcommerce API, rate limits, and retries.

React to store changes

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

What you can sync between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB objects Bigcommerce objects How this pairing syncs
Partition keys Determine data distribution and must be included on writes for the sync to route items correctly. Categories Catalog V3 category tree; mapped for merchandising and kept aligned with a product master or PIM. Partition keys is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Categories to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Change feed entries Ordered record of inserts and updates per partition, consumed for incremental sync. Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Change feed entries is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Brands to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored procedures and triggers Server-side logic scoped to a partition; relevant when writes must respect existing validation. Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Stored procedures and triggers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Inventory to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Databases Top-level namespaces that scope containers and throughput provisioning. Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Databases is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Price Lists to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Containers The unit of partitioning and throughput; each container maps to a synced collection. Shipments Order shipments with tracking numbers; created in BigCommerce from a 3PL or fulfillment system as packages ship. Containers is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Shipments to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items (JSON documents) Schema-flexible JSON records read and written during sync; nested structures are flattened or mapped as needed. 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. Items (JSON documents) is specific to Azure Cosmos DB and Products to Bigcommerce — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Cosmos DB 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.

Azure Cosmos DB Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Azure Cosmos DB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Built-in change feed exposing inserts and updates in order within each partition key range.

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

Bigcommerce Azure Cosmos DB 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 Azure Cosmos DB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
