Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect BigCommerce to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type BigCommerce into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Select an Auth Scheme and follow the relevant instructions below.

Authentication Methods

OAuth

The Callback URL, or Redirect URL, is the URL you need (https://oauth.cdata.com/oauth/) when setting up your OAuth app. Copy this URL and paste it into your OAuth app.

  1. Enter the following information:

    • OAuth Client Id—the client Id assigned when you registered your BigCommerce account for OAuth.

    • OAuth Client Secret—the client secret assigned when you registered your BigCommerce account for OAuth.

    • Store Id—this is located in the BigCommerce URL when you are logged in to your account. It is formatted as https://store-[StoreId].mybigcommerce.com/.

  2. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add BigCommerce Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
