Why teams connect Bigcommerce and Workday

Turn every Bigcommerce order into clean revenue: Workday and Bigcommerce keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.

Bigcommerce runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Workday records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.

Stacksync syncs Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation in Workday with Categories, Brands, Inventory, Price Lists in Bigcommerce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Bigcommerce, its paid-or-overdue state from Workday — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 02 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • 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

Where Bigcommerce originates orders: sales flow into the books

A new or updated order in Bigcommerce creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Workday, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

Where Workday is the money system of record: payment status on the order

Paid, overdue, and refunded state from Workday lands on the order or account in Bigcommerce, so the store and support see what has actually been collected.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer or buyer records, an edit in either propagates to the other, ending duplicate accounts and mismatched contact details.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and Workday

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 Workday 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. Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. Brands is specific to Bigcommerce and Compensation to Workday — 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. Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Time Off and Absence to Workday — 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. Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Payroll Results to Workday — 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. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Suppliers to Workday — 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. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and Customers and Invoices to Workday — 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. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and Workday

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

Workday Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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.
