How to Connect BigCommerce to Your Shopping Cart

Spark Shipping connects your vendors to your ecommerce store in four quick steps.
1
Get your integration credentials from BigCommerce
To allow Spark Shipping to sync with BigCommerce, you first need to obtain their specific API or data feed credentials.
  • Log in to your vendor’s dealer portal and look for a section labeled API, Integrations, or Data Feeds. If unavailable, contact your vendor representative to request their API keys or FTP credentials.
2
Create or log in to your Spark Shipping account
If you haven’t already, create a Spark Shipping account or log in to your existing dashboard to begin the setup.
3
Add the vendor in Spark Shipping and paste your credentials
  • In your Spark Shipping dashboard, go to Vendors.
  • Click Add Vendor, then select BigCommerce from the list of integrations.
  • Enter the credentials you retrieved in Step 1 (such as API Keys, FTP details, or Client IDs) into the corresponding fields.
4
Test the connection and start syncing products and orders
  • Click the Test Connection button to confirm that Spark Shipping can communicate with BigCommerce’s system.
  • Once validated, the connection is live. Spark Shipping will begin downloading the product catalog (the initial sync time varies by vendor).
  • You can now configure your automation rules to automatically sync inventory, pricing, and route orders.
