One of the things I appreciate most about BigCommerce is that it doesn’t try to be all things to all people. It’s not pretending to be your ERP, CRM, email platform, and PIM — and that’s a good thing.
Instead, BigCommerce focuses on doing the e-commerce part really well, while giving you the flexibility to connect the tools you actually use to run your business.
In this post, I’m walking through some of the most useful integrations BigCommerce supports — from shipping and accounting to advanced search and analytics. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading your tech stack, BigCommerce makes it easier to build the backend that fits your business.
And if you’re wondering whether your tools will play nice with BigCommerce, I offer a free platform evaluation to help you figure out what fits — and what might need a smarter solution.
Why Integrations Matter
Let’s be real: most merchants outgrow the “everything in one place” model pretty quickly. Your business isn’t generic, and your workflows shouldn’t be either.
Integrations allow you to:
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Sync data between departments
- Improve customer experience
- Save time (and mistakes) on manual processes
BigCommerce’s open architecture means you’re not forced to use their tools or locked into a single vendor. You get to build a stack that works for you.
Key Integration Categories (With Popular Tools)
Here’s where BigCommerce really shines — in the flexibility to connect with best-in-class tools across every area of your business.
Accounting & ERP
- QuickBooks Online

These integrations sync orders, inventory, and customer data between your store and your back office. No more manual exports or reconciliation nightmares.

Payments & Checkout Enhancements

BigCommerce doesn’t charge transaction fees, and you’re free to choose the payment gateways and checkout tools that work best for your customers.
Site Search & Personalization

Improve product discovery with smarter on-site search, personalized recommendations, and better filtering. A must-have if you have a large or complex catalog.
POS & Retail Sync

- Vend
- Heartland Retail
Keep your in-store and online inventory in sync. These integrations connect your POS system with BigCommerce to create a unified customer and product database.
What About Custom Integrations?
If you’re using a legacy system or something industry-specific, BigCommerce has a powerful REST and GraphQL API with high limits — which means you can build custom integrations without hitting rate caps.
Whether it’s syncing to a homegrown ERP, pushing data to a BI tool, or building a fully headless frontend, BigCommerce gives your developers the freedom to build what you need.
What I Tell My Clients
You don’t need a platform that tries to do everything. You need one that connects well with the right tools — and lets you control your tech stack without compromise.
BigCommerce makes this possible by staying open, flexible, and partner-friendly. You’re not forced into one way of doing things, and you’re not penalized for choosing tools that fit your business.
That’s one of the biggest reasons I recommend it to scaling brands and enterprise merchants.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re looking to automate shipping, upgrade your analytics, or tie everything together with an ERP — BigCommerce makes it possible without getting in your way.
If you’re wondering whether it can support your systems, or you’re planning a tech stack upgrade, I’d be happy to help you map it out.
