BigCommerce + DEAR Inventory Integration FAQ

Yes. All data is transferred over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL). We follow least-privilege API access, using OAuth 2.0 authentication with scoped permissions, never store credentials in plain text, and log all sync activity for audit purposes. For Australian businesses with compliance requirements, we can implement additional safeguards.

Absolutely. Custom field mapping is a core part of every integration we build. Whether it is custom properties in BigCommerce or user-defined fields in DEAR Inventory, we map them precisely to your requirements. We can also transform data formats, apply business rules, and handle conditional mappings.

Yes. We routinely build conditional logic, field transformations, data enrichment, and approval workflows into integrations. For example, only sync products that meet certain criteria, or transform data formats before writing to DEAR Inventory. Your business rules drive the integration design.

Yes, we handle one-time historical data migrations alongside ongoing sync. We map your existing products, validate data quality, and run test migrations before the final cutover. Most migrations complete within 4-8 weeks depending on volume.

Absolutely. We design integrations with growth in mind, whether you are syncing 100 records or 100,000. Our architecture handles rate limiting (BigCommerce's API allows 150 requests per 30 seconds on standard plans), pagination, and queuing to ensure reliable performance at any scale.

By default, we configure BigCommerce to DEAR Inventory as a one-way sync, but bi-directional sync is possible if your workflow requires it. We will assess the best approach during the discovery session.

We follow a structured testing process: unit tests for individual data mappings, end-to-end tests with sample data, and a staging period where we run the integration in parallel with your existing process. You review and approve the results before we switch to live. This approach minimises risk and ensures accuracy.
