Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Firebase

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Firebase: 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 Brands, Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments from Bigcommerce into Firebase 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 Firebase, 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 Sync Firestore user and account documents into a CRM so go-to-market teams see live product data.
  • 02 Mirror Firestore collections into Postgres or a warehouse to run SQL analytics on app data.
  • 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

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

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Firebase

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 Firebase objects How this pairing syncs
Customers V3 customer accounts, customer groups, and addresses; synced two-way with a CRM so storefront and GTM records match. Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Firestore Documents to Firebase — 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. Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Subcollections to Firebase — 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. Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Realtime Database Nodes to Firebase — 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. Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Authentication Users to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Cloud Storage Objects to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Order shipments with tracking numbers; created in BigCommerce from a 3PL or fulfillment system as packages ship. Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Cloud Functions Triggers to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Firebase

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 Firebase 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 Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Firebase Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

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.
  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.

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
