Article summary

Once you connect your BigCommerce store, you can access its Connection Settings from Brands > Connection Settings. From here, you can manage how products between GRIN and your BigCommerce store are synced, how orders and shipping are handled, how to handle conversion tracking, and enable affiliate attribution settings. All of these settings, along with GRIN's recommended settings, are defined in this article.

These settings only appear if you've connected BigCommerce to your Brand. For more information on connecting to BigCommerce, see our help article Integrating with BigCommerce.

When you first integrate with BigCommerce, some settings will be enabled by default. In addition to these defaults, we recommend reviewing a few key settings in the Orders and Shipping section to ensure your integration with BigCommerce is seamless. You don't need to enable all of these, but be sure to check if you need them for your products and shipping.

  • Zero Product Price for Orders: Determines how your creator gifting orders impact your BigCommerce reporting.
