Big Commerce - FAQ

Raising support cases regarding Big Commerce

When raising support cases regarding issues with Big Commerce (Specifically order issues) retrieving the order JSON of the affected order(s) can be helpful for the Mintsoft Support Team, the Order JSON can be obtained from Big Commerce Support.

V2 / V3 API path

BigCommerce does not currently have a V3 Orders API, a V3 API is available for Products but not for Orders. To ensure orders can flow into Mintsoft we advise changing the API Path to /v2/ instead of /v3/.

Recommended order statuses

We recommend using the following statuses when setting up/ configuring Big Commerce connections:

  • Picking Status ID: 9.

  • Ready Status ID: 11.

  • Despatched Status ID: 2.

Tracking carrier values

Big Commerce will only accept specific values for their carrier tracking links to work, accepted couriers are listed here: Big Commerce Accepted Couriers.

Note: Please follow our External CourierService Names article to add the values.

Alt codes

Big Commerce does not support alternative SKU codes when synchronising stock.

If you have product variation setup on BigCommerce, you will need to enable the below toggle in Mintsoft against your BigCommerce connection.

Use V3 Stock Sync (Requires V3 Product API Access)
