API Plans
  • ¿Does the connector offer different features according to the account type of the client in SL? The answer is no.
  • Besides the API rate limits ¿Does the connector offer different features according to the account type of the client in BC? The answer is no.
  • Error reporting. The reports of each synchronization include up to 500 error messages. After that amount, further messages are discarded.

Performance

  • The connector DOES retrieve items from the SL API in a paginated manner.
  • When Multi-storefront feature is activated in the BigCommerce, it is not recommended to synchronize more than 25K items.
  • The connector discards items for synchronization based on the comparison of data hashes (alphanumeric codes that identify items).

Functional limitations

  • It’s not possible to schedule connector synchronization.
  • The connector works in one-way. Information is synchronized from SL to BigCommerce. The reverse data synchronization is not supported.
  • The connector exports information in one language as BigCommerce only allows for one language.
  • The connector does not support sending metafields.
  • The connector does not ensure support for mapping fields created by third parties. Currently, we are collaborating with shipperHQ.
  • Error reporting. Each synchronization report includes up to 500 error messages. Beyond that number, additional messages are discarded.
  • BigCommerce has a limit of 600 variants per product.
  • It’s not possible to order custom fields

Multistore - Channel types
