- 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
