Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Materialize

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

Materialize 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 Connections & Secrets, Schemas & Databases, Tables, Sources in Materialize with Customers, Categories, Brands, Inventory 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 Read computed view results back into a CRM or application database as derived fields.
  • 02 Drive alerting and operational tooling from SUBSCRIBE change streams instead of scheduled queries.
  • 03 Write Inventory levels from a WMS or ERP onto BigCommerce Variants and SKUs so storefront availability reflects warehouse on-hand counts.
  • 04 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.

Common sync patterns

Where Bigcommerce accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in Materialize 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.

Inventory and order status reconciled

Stock levels and order or fulfillment status move between Materialize and Bigcommerce so counts and states agree across reporting and operations.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Materialize

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 Materialize 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. Connections & Secrets Stored credentials and endpoints used by sources and sinks. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Connections & Secrets to Materialize — 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. Schemas & Databases Namespaces that organize objects a sync targets. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Schemas & Databases to Materialize — 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. Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Tables to Materialize — 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. Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Sources to Materialize — 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. Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Materialized Views to Materialize — 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. Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Sinks to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Materialize

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

Materialize Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.

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.
