Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Google Cloud Platform

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

Google Cloud Platform 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 Pub/Sub topics, Firestore documents, Spanner tables, BigQuery datasets in Google Cloud Platform with Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments, Products 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 Publish change events to Pub/Sub so downstream services react to record updates as they happen.
  • 02 Two-way sync of Products and Variants between BigCommerce and a PIM or ERP so catalog content, SKUs, and pricing stay aligned across systems.
  • 03 Write Inventory levels from a WMS or ERP onto BigCommerce Variants and SKUs so storefront availability reflects warehouse on-hand counts.

Common sync patterns

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Bigcommerce land in Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform objects How this pairing syncs
Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Firestore documents Document data read and written through the Firestore API for app-facing syncs. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Firestore documents to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Spanner tables Strongly consistent relational tables accessed via SQL for transactional workloads. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Spanner tables to Google Cloud Platform — 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. BigQuery datasets Namespaces that group tables; syncs target tables within a dataset. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and BigQuery datasets to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. BigQuery tables The primary analytics destination, written through load jobs or the Storage Write API and queried with SQL. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and BigQuery tables to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Cloud SQL databases Managed Postgres, MySQL, and SQL Server instances synced like ordinary relational databases. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Cloud SQL databases to Google Cloud Platform — 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. Cloud Storage objects Staging area for file-based bulk loads into BigQuery and other services. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Cloud Storage objects to Google Cloud Platform — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Google Cloud Platform

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 Google Cloud Platform 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 Google Cloud Platform as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Google Cloud Platform Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionGoogle Cloud Platform pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Varies by service: log-based CDC on Cloud SQL (logical replication or binlog, also via Datastream), Pub/Sub for event delivery, polling for BigQuery.

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.
  • Google Cloud Platform: Quotas are set per service and per project; BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloud SQL each enforce their own limits.
