Why teams connect Bigcommerce and MongoDB

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in MongoDB: 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 MongoDB 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 MongoDB, 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 MongoDB collections with a CRM so customer documents written by the application appear as CRM records, and CRM edits flow back as document updates.
  • 02 Replicate operational MongoDB data into a relational database, flattening nested documents into normalized tables for SQL reporting.
  • 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

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

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and MongoDB

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 MongoDB 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. GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and GridFS files to MongoDB — 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. Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to MongoDB — 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. Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Collections to MongoDB — 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. Documents BSON records created, updated, and deleted during syncs, keyed by _id. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Documents to MongoDB — 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. Embedded documents and arrays Nested structures that syncs flatten or map to related records in relational targets. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Embedded documents and arrays to MongoDB — 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. Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Indexes to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and MongoDB

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

MongoDB Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).

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.

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
