Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Google Cloud SQL

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in Google Cloud SQL: 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 Orders, Customers, Categories, Brands from Bigcommerce into Google Cloud SQL 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 Google Cloud SQL, 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 Keep an internal admin application backed by Cloud SQL consistent with an ERP or billing system.
  • 02 Migrate from a self-managed database by syncing Cloud SQL and the legacy system during cutover.
  • 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

React to store changes

Updates in Bigcommerce arrive as row changes in Google Cloud SQL, 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 Google Cloud SQL sync back onto Bigcommerce, so the storefront shows what your systems treat as true.

Order data where your code can use it

Orders and their status become rows in Google Cloud SQL for routing, fulfillment, and reporting, without polling the platform.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Google Cloud SQL

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 SQL objects How this pairing syncs
Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Databases Scope the tables included in a sync configuration. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to Google Cloud SQL — 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. Schemas Namespace tables in PostgreSQL and SQL Server instances. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Schemas to Google Cloud SQL — 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. Tables Mapped directly to sync targets; schema changes can be propagated. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and Tables to Google Cloud SQL — 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. Rows Read and written by primary key during each sync cycle. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Rows to Google Cloud SQL — 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. Views Read-only sources for shaping data before syncing it out. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Views to Google Cloud SQL — 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. Transaction logs MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL WAL, the source for log-based change capture. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Transaction logs to Google Cloud SQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Google Cloud SQL

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

Google Cloud SQL Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Google Cloud SQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-dependent log-based CDC: MySQL binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server change tracking.

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 SQL: Constrained by instance size and connection limits rather than API quotas.
