BigCommerce integration setup for Marketplacer sellers

This article explains how to set up the BigCommerce integration in Marketplacer. It covers how to create API credentials in BigCommerce and connect your store through MConnect so products and orders can sync automatically between both platforms.

Configure connection settings in BigCommerce

To connect BigCommerce and Marketplacer, follow these steps in your BigCommerce Admin:

1. In the BigCommerce menu, go to Settings › Store-level API Tokens.
2. Click + Create API Account.
3. Under Token Type, choose Create V2/V3 API Token.
4. Enter a Name for the API account. Example: www.marketplacer.com (for your reference only.
5. Configure the OAuth Scopes as follows:
   

   API Resource	Access Level
   Content	Read-Only
   Checkout Content	Modify
   Customers	Modify
   Customers Login	Login
   Information & Settings	Read-Only
   Marketing	None
   Orders	Modify
   Order Transactions	None
   Create Payments	Create
   Get Payment Methods	Read-Only
   Stored Payment Instruments	Modify
   Products	Read-Only
   Themes	Read-Only
   Carts	Modify
   Checkouts	Modify
   Sites & Routes	Modify
   Channel Settings	Modify
   Channel Listings	Modify
   Storefront API Tokens	Manage
   Storefront API Customer Impersonation Tokens	None

   Note: If you want orders to create or be assigned to existing customers in BigCommerce, you must set the Customers scope to Modify as well. Otherwise, all orders are created as guest orders.

6. Make a note of the API Path displayed. You will need this for your Marketplacer integration setup.

7. Click Save.
8. When you click Save, a .txt file automatically downloads to your computer (example: BigCommerceAPI-credentials-xxxx.txt). This file contains all the necessary information required to enter into Marketplacer. Your BigCommerce setup is now complete.

Configure connection settings in Marketplacer

1. Sign in to the Seller portal.

2. Go to Extensions > MConnect.

3. Select the BigCommerce tile from the list of e-commerce platforms to open the connection setup.

4. Enter your Store hash, Client ID, and Access token. You can copy and paste these from the .txt file generated by BigCommerce. For example, if your API path is:

   https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/yjurnor2yh/v3/

   then your Store hash is yjurnor2yh.

5. Review your details, then click Submit to save the connection.
   Note: Pre-order products in BigCommerce will not sync to Marketplacer until they are available for purchase and delivery.
