Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Plex ERP

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Bigcommerce and Plex ERP share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Bigcommerce runs the storefront and takes the orders; Plex ERP owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Brands, Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments in Bigcommerce with Quality records, Parts, Inventory, Production jobs in Plex ERP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Plex ERP, order and customer detail from Bigcommerce — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.
  • 02 Push Price Lists from an ERP into BigCommerce to drive customer-group and B2B pricing without manual catalog edits.
  • 03 Sync production and inventory data from Plex into a warehouse or Postgres for plant-level analytics.
  • 04 Keep customers, parts, and pricing aligned between Plex and the CRM the sales team uses.

Common sync patterns

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Plex ERP, tracking and status flow back to Bigcommerce so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where Plex ERP is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from Plex ERP publish to Bigcommerce, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Plex ERP

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 Plex ERP 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. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Inventory On-hand balances and locations replicated for visibility outside the plant system Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Shipments Order shipments with tracking numbers; created in BigCommerce from a 3PL or fulfillment system as packages ship. Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Suppliers to Plex ERP — 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. Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Quality records to Plex ERP — 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. Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Parts to Plex ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Plex ERP

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

Plex ERP Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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.
  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate limits.
