Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Nimble

Keep the customers and orders that Nimble and Bigcommerce share aligned in real time, so sales works from live purchase history and the store works from current account details.

Nimble holds the customer relationship: the contacts, accounts, and deals a go-to-market team works. Bigcommerce runs the buying side: who placed which order, what they bought, and where it ships. The two describe the same people and companies, and when they are connected only by exports, sales answers questions without recent orders in front of them while the store works from account details that changed weeks ago.

Stacksync links Tags, Custom fields, Contacts, Companies in Nimble to Products, Variants and SKUs, Orders, Customers in Bigcommerce with bi-directional, real-time sync. New customers, order activity, and corrected contact details move in whichever direction you configure, field by field, with conflicts resolved by rules you set. A record created or changed on either side shows up on the other within seconds, with no CSV exports and no nightly job.

The shared entity is the customer, matched on email or an external ID, so both systems agree on who the buyer is and the order history sits next to the relationship instead of in a separate tab.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed Nimble activity and task data into reporting dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 02 Sync Nimble contacts and companies into Postgres so ops teams can query socially enriched profile data with SQL.
  • 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

One customer identity across sales and store

A person who exists as a contact in Nimble and a buyer in Bigcommerce is kept as a single, deduplicated record, so both teams work from the same customer instead of two partial copies.

Where Bigcommerce records orders: purchase history on the account

Orders and their status from Bigcommerce appear on the matching contact or account in Nimble, so reps see what a customer has bought and what is in flight before the next conversation.

New buyers become CRM records

A customer created in Bigcommerce creates or updates the matching contact or account in Nimble, so first-time and repeat buyers land in the relationship system without a manual import.

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.

Activities Calls, events, and interaction history used for engagement reporting outside Nimble Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Activities to Nimble — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Nimble

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

Nimble Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Nimble for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on record modification timestamps.

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.
  • Nimble: Subject to per-account API request quotas.
