Why teams connect Bigcommerce and ClickHouse

Make ClickHouse the analytics and enrichment layer behind Bigcommerce: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

ClickHouse is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Bigcommerce runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Stacksync syncs Materialized views, Distributed tables, Dictionaries, Tables (MergeTree family) in ClickHouse with Price Lists, Shipments, Products, Variants and SKUs in Bigcommerce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync aggregated ClickHouse query results back into operational tools, such as account-level usage metrics into a CRM.
  • 02 Consolidate logs and business records from multiple sources into MergeTree tables for retention and reporting.
  • 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

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Bigcommerce land in ClickHouse as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

Where Bigcommerce accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in ClickHouse write onto the matching records in Bigcommerce, so merchandising and messaging act on warehouse logic.

One product catalog

Where both systems hold product or catalog data, cleaned and enriched attributes stay aligned so the store and the warehouse describe the same items.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and ClickHouse

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.

Bigcommerce objects ClickHouse objects How this pairing syncs
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. Materialized views Insert-time transformations that reshape incoming synced rows into aggregates. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Materialized views to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Distributed tables Query-routing tables over cluster shards in self-managed deployments. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Distributed tables to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers V3 customer accounts, customer groups, and addresses; synced two-way with a CRM so storefront and GTM records match. Dictionaries In-memory lookup structures refreshed from external sources, sometimes fed by syncs. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Dictionaries to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories Catalog V3 category tree; mapped for merchandising and kept aligned with a product master or PIM. Tables (MergeTree family) Columnar, append-optimized tables that serve as the destination for high-volume sync loads. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Tables (MergeTree family) to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Databases Namespaces that group tables and scope permissions for sync users. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Views Saved queries used as curated, read-only sync sources. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Views to ClickHouse — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and ClickHouse

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.

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

ClickHouse Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls ClickHouse for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No log-based CDC for consumers.

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

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.

How the Bigcommerce and ClickHouse connectors work

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
