How to install BigCommerce integration on TradeGecko
For merchants who already have access to BigCommerce's Integration, we’re going to take you through the step-by-step process for selling on BigCommerce with TradeGecko. There are 3 steps we're going to cover:
Step 1: Prepare API information & products before adding BigCommerce on TradeGecko
Step 2: Import products to TradeGecko with the same SKUs used in BigCommerce stores
Step 3: Add the BigCommerce Store to your TradeGecko account
Step 4: Review your settings
Let's get started.
Step 1: Before adding BigCommerce on TradeGecko
1.1 Before you can start adding BigCommerce on TradeGecko, you need to login to BigCommerce.com, go to the Advanced Settings -> API Accounts and create an API key for TradeGecko
1.2: Create an API account with BigCommerce
- Reminder: You’ll need to be the store owner to be able to create an API account with BigCommerce.
1.3: Save the store hash from API path
1.4: Select the Modify option for Orders, Order Transactions & Products in OAuth Scopes
This will give our app permission to access this information. You can customize how you want our app to modify your store product and orders further during the settings.
1.5: Save the Client ID & Access Token for your API account
Step 2: Import products to TradeGecko with the same SKUs used in BigCommerce stores
If you haven’t set up your products in TradeGecko yet, make sure all of the products in your BigCommerce store have been uploaded to TradeGecko with the same SKUs.
- You can use our CSV import tool or import products automatically from other sales channel such as Shopify.
- We recommend using unique SKUs system for your products so we can update the right product inventory, prices and orders to your BigCommerce store
- If you sell products in bundles, please use unique SKUs for your bundles. For example, if you have 3 variants and create a bundle from the 3 variants, you'll need 4 different SKUs for the variants and the bundle.
- We will map Product Type in TradeGecko to BigCommerce's Product Category. If you have a complicated list of Categories, we recommend skipping Category Sync from TradeGecko. You can manage product categories in BigCommerce instead.
Step 3: Add the BigCommerce Sales Channel to Your TradeGecko Store
Once you have saved the API information from BigCommerce, it's time to add the BigCommerce Sales Channel to your TradeGecko store.
3.1: From TradeGecko, click here to start adding BigCommerce
3.2: Fill in your store information. The location selected will be your fulfilment location in TradeGecko for BigCommerce’s orders.
