Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Snowflake

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

Snowflake 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 Virtual Warehouses, Databases, Schemas, Tables in Snowflake with Categories, Brands, Inventory, Price Lists 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 Feed finance reconciliation models from ERP data landed in Snowflake on a continuous basis
  • 02 Land CRM and ERP records in Snowflake continuously so BI reflects business systems without nightly batch ETL
  • 03 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.
  • 04 Push Price Lists from an ERP into BigCommerce to drive customer-group and B2B pricing without manual catalog edits.

Common sync patterns

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Bigcommerce land in Snowflake as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

Where Bigcommerce accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in Snowflake 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.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Snowflake

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 Snowflake objects How this pairing syncs
Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Stages File staging areas used for bulk loads into synced tables. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Stages to Snowflake — 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. Tasks Scheduled SQL used to transform synced data after it lands. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Tasks to Snowflake — 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. VARIANT Columns Semi-structured JSON payloads stored alongside relational columns. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and VARIANT Columns to Snowflake — 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. Virtual Warehouses The compute a sync's queries run on, sized independently of storage. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Virtual Warehouses to Snowflake — 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. Databases Top-level containers that scope which data a sync can touch. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to Snowflake — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Schemas to Snowflake — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Snowflake

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

Snowflake Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Snowflake are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. The setup script grants "create stream" on synced schemas (Snowflake streams), but the docs do not name the change-capture mechanism.

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.
  • Snowflake: No conventional API rate limits; cost and throughput are governed by virtual warehouse size and running time.

How the Bigcommerce and Snowflake connectors work

Bigcommerce

Integration surface
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
