This guide will show you how to connect your BigCommerce store to API2Cart in just a few steps.

Step 1: Log into Your BigCommerce Store

To begin, access your BigCommerce admin panel. After that, navigate to Advanced Settings and select API Accounts.

Step 2: Generate API Credentials

Once you reach the API Accounts section, follow these steps:

  1. Click "Create API Account".
  2. Enter a custom username (e.g., API2Cart_Integration).
  3. In the API Path box, locate the value between api.bigcommerce.com and /v3/ – copy this segment.

Step 3: Set API Permissions

At this stage, it is essential to configure the API access correctly.

  • Assign Modify Content
  • Checkout Content
  • Customers & Customers Login
  • Orders & Order Transactions
  • Products, Themes, Carts, Marketing & Information Settings

Consequently, these permissions will allow API2Cart to retrieve and manage data efficiently. Once completed, click "Save", and a window will display your Client ID and Access Token.

Step 4: Add BigCommerce to API2Cart

Now that the API credentials are ready, it’s time to add your store to API2Cart.

  1. Log in to your API2Cart account.
  2. Select "Add New Store" and choose BigCommerce.
  3. Enter the store URL, API Path, Client ID, and Access Token obtained in the previous steps.
  4. Click "Connect", and API2Cart will validate your credentials.

As a result, you will gain access to BigCommerce store data through API2Cart, enabling seamless data synchronization.
