Why teams connect Bigcommerce and TiDB

Give your engineers Bigcommerce's products, orders, and customers in TiDB: 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 Price Lists, Shipments, Products, Variants and SKUs from Bigcommerce into TiDB 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 TiDB, 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 Serve mixed transactional and analytical workloads on synced data using TiFlash columnar replicas
  • 02 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 03 Two-way sync of Products and Variants between BigCommerce and a PIM or ERP so catalog content, SKUs, and pricing stay aligned across systems.
  • 04 Write Inventory levels from a WMS or ERP onto BigCommerce Variants and SKUs so storefront availability reflects warehouse on-hand counts.

Common sync patterns

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from TiDB back into Bigcommerce, keeping the store authoritative on what it owns.

Read the store's data with a query

Records from Bigcommerce, whether products, orders, customers, or inventory, live in TiDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

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.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and TiDB

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 TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Shipments Order shipments with tracking numbers; created in BigCommerce from a 3PL or fulfillment system as packages ship. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Tables to TiDB — 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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and Views to TiDB — 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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Columns to TiDB — 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. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Indexes to TiDB — 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. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Customers is specific to Bigcommerce and Sequences to TiDB — 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. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. Categories is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and TiDB

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

TiDB Bigcommerce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Bigcommerce and TiDB 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
