Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Seismic

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

Seismic 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 Teamsites, LiveSend Links, Digital Sales Rooms, Reporting Activities in Seismic to Brands, Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments 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 Sync Library Content metadata and Custom Property Schemas with a DAM or PIM so one taxonomy governs assets across systems.
  • 02 React to ContentManager and DSR webhook events to update a database when documents are published, versioned, or expired.
  • 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

Where both keep product records: catalog and CRM products aligned

Where Seismic tracks products or line items and Bigcommerce holds the catalog, shared items are matched on SKU so quotes, deals, and orders reference the same products.

One customer identity across sales and store

A person who exists as a contact in Seismic 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 Seismic, so reps see what a customer has bought and what is in flight before the next conversation.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Seismic

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 Seismic objects How this pairing syncs
Brands Catalog V3 brand records linked to products; kept aligned with a product master or PIM so brand names and pages stay consistent. Content Versions Version history for a library item; new versions upload via API and old ones expire, with events firing on ContentManager webhooks. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Content Versions to Seismic — 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. Users User records managed through SCIM 2.0 and legacy user endpoints; created, updated, and deactivated for provisioning sync. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Users to Seismic — 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. User Groups Group definitions and membership that govern content access; synced from an IdP or HRIS to keep permissions current. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and User Groups to Seismic — 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. Teamsites Tenant-scoped workspace partitions organizing Library content, permissions, and config; scoped by teamSiteId on most content calls. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Teamsites to Seismic — 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. LiveSend Links Trackable content-share links created via the engagement API; their open and view engagement is read back through Reporting. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and LiveSend Links to Seismic — 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. Digital Sales Rooms Buyer-facing microsites (DSRs); lifecycle and content-change events surface via webhooks, currently marked Early Access. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Digital Sales Rooms to Seismic — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Seismic

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

Seismic Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionSeismic notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks for content, version, user, group, workflow, DSR, and LiveSend events.

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.
  • Seismic: Tiered per-endpoint limits over a rolling 60-second window; exceeding returns HTTP 429, with X-Seismic-Remaining-Calls and X-Seismic-Total-Calls headers.
