Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Couchbase

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Couchbase: 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 Customers, Categories, Brands, Inventory from Bigcommerce into Couchbase 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 Couchbase, 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 Stream document mutations via DCP into downstream systems so caches, search indexes, or warehouses stay current.
  • 02 Two-way sync between Couchbase (serving application data) and a CRM so support and sales teams see live application state.
  • 03 Push Price Lists from an ERP into BigCommerce to drive customer-group and B2B pricing without manual catalog edits.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Products and Variants between BigCommerce and a PIM or ERP so catalog content, SKUs, and pricing stay aligned across systems.

Common sync patterns

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 Couchbase, 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 Couchbase sync back onto Bigcommerce, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Couchbase

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 Couchbase objects How this pairing syncs
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. Collections Table-like groupings of documents that syncs typically map one-to-one to destination tables. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and Collections to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. JSON Documents The core records; schemaless JSON keyed by document id, flattened or mapped to relational rows in syncs. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and JSON Documents to Couchbase — 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. Global Secondary Indexes Indexes that make SQL++ query-based extraction efficient. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Global Secondary Indexes to Couchbase — 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. XDCR replications Cluster-to-cluster replication streams, useful context when choosing a sync source cluster. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and XDCR replications to Couchbase — 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. Full-text search indexes Search indexes over documents, relevant when syncing searchable content. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Full-text search indexes to Couchbase — 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. Buckets Top-level data containers, roughly analogous to a database, that scope replication and memory quotas. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Buckets to Couchbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Couchbase

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

Couchbase Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Couchbase are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database Change Protocol (DCP) streams document mutations.

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.
  • Couchbase: Throughput is bounded by cluster sizing rather than API rate limits.
