How to Connect BigCommerce with Shopify Using CloudQix

Running both BigCommerce and Shopify side by side can create operational headaches. How do you keep product catalogs in sync? How do you avoid duplicate data entry?

With CloudQix, you can automate the connection between BigCommerce and Shopify. The integration keeps products aligned by updating existing items or creating new ones, all without manual work.

Step 1: Select the Connector

1. In the Connector Hub, choose the BigCommerce → Shopify connector.
2. Authenticate both apps:
3. Sign in to BigCommerce and allow CloudQix to access product data.
4. Sign in to Shopify and grant CloudQix permission to manage products.

Step 2: Understand the Workflow

The workflow is designed to handle both updates and new products automatically:

1. Source: BigCommerce
   1. CloudQix pulls all products from your BigCommerce store.
2. Loop: Iterate Products
   1. Each product is checked one by one.
3. Search in Shopify
   1. For every BigCommerce product, CloudQix searches Shopify to see if it already exists.
4. Condition: Does the product exist?
   1. Yes (True) → Update the product in Shopify with the latest data from BigCommerce.
   1. No (False) → Create a new product in Shopify with BigCommerce details.
5. End
   1. Workflow completes after all products are processed.
      
      

Step 3: Customize What Syncs

You can configure which product fields get synced, such as:

• Name and description
• Price and currency
• SKU and inventory levels
• Product images

This ensures your Shopify storefront reflects the most up-to-date information from BigCommerce.

Step 4: Activate the Workflow

1. Save the connector.
2. Run a test to confirm products are syncing correctly.
3. Switch the status to Active so CloudQix continuously keeps Shopify aligned with BigCommerce.

Example Use Cases

• Catalog Sync: Keep Shopify updated when new products are added in BigCommerce.
• Price Updates: Ensure Shopify reflects the latest pricing changes from BigCommerce.
• Inventory Management: Prevent overselling by syncing stock counts across platforms.

Wrapping Up

Instead of manually re-entering products or worrying about mismatches, CloudQix automates the sync between BigCommerce and Shopify. Products are updated if they already exist or created if they don’t.

This keeps your catalogs consistent, saves time, and ensures customers always see accurate information, no matter which storefront they’re shopping.
