Why Connect BigCommerce to Gorgias?

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Gorgias adds complexity: phone and voice support capabilities are basic compared to Zendesk and Freshdesk, requiring integrations for a full omnichannel experience

Guest booking data in BigCommerce and operations scheduling in Gorgias require manual coordination

Invoice and payment data is re-entered between BigCommerce and Gorgias manually, doubling the work and risking GST errors at month-end

Reporting across BigCommerce and Gorgias requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Online orders in BigCommerce and in-store inventory in Gorgias are never in sync, frustrating customers

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep BigCommerce and Gorgias aligned

Manually copying data between BigCommerce and Gorgias wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

How We Help

Connecting BigCommerce (e-commerce) with Gorgias (customer support) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Retail & E-commerce and Hospitality & Tourism businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and invoices data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, BigCommerce uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and Gorgias authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unified Customers Across Both Platforms

Customers in BigCommerce and customers in Gorgias stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Unlock Gorgias Value

Gorgias stands out because deep Shopify integration shows order details, tracking info, and customer history directly in the support ticket without switching tabs. Integrating it with BigCommerce means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep BigCommerce and Gorgias in sync, even as your business doubles.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses BigCommerce and Gorgias. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.

BigCommerce to Gorgias Use Cases

1

Automated error handling and retry for BigCommerce/Gorgias sync

When a sync between BigCommerce and Gorgias fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.

2

Sync BigCommerce customers to Gorgias customers

When a customer is created or updated in BigCommerce, the corresponding customer record in Gorgias is automatically created or updated. Contact details, company associations, and custom fields are all mapped.

3

Scheduled reconciliation between BigCommerce and Gorgias

A daily or weekly reconciliation job compares records across both platforms, flags discrepancies, and generates a mismatch report. Catches sync gaps before they become accounting headaches.
