      Article summary

      You can integrate your BigCommerce store so you can create, fulfill, and track your creators’ orders from within GRIN. This is ideal for managing large numbers of orders and scaling up your creator program.

      Note
      This is a premium feature in GRIN, meaning it is only available with a paid subscription to GRIN. By default, the integration will have a Request button in GRIN, which notifies our support team that you’d like the integration enabled. After you click to request the integration, a representative from GRIN will reach out to you.

      What You'll Need

      • A BigCommerce store.
      • A BigCommerce user with store owner permissions.
      • A Brand set up in GRIN. See Creating your Brand for more information.

      How to Do It

      There are two parts to integrating with BigCommerce:

      1. Generating an API token
      2. Connecting with GRIN

      You must complete both parts below to integrate.

      Generating an API Token

      You need to generate an API token for your BigCommerce store before connecting it to GRIN. You also need to enable certain permissions so GRIN can import and sync your products.

      1. Follow the steps in the Creating an API Account section in BigCommerce’s help article, Store API Accounts, while following the specifications below.
      2. When selecting a Token Type, choose the V2/V3 API token option.
      3. When setting up OAuth scopes, set the following permissions for these API resources:
        • Content: Modify
        • Checkout content: Modify
        • Customers: Read-only
        • Information & Settings: Read-only
        • Marketing: Modify
        • Orders: Modify
        • Order Transactions: Read-only
        • Products: Read-only
        • Carts: Read-only
        • Checkout: Read-only
        • Store Inventory: Read-only
      4. Copy the Access token that appears after you save your API account. You’ll use this to integrate your BigCommerce store with GRIN.

      Connecting with GRIN

      Now that you've generated an API token with BigCommerce, you're ready to complete the connection process in GRIN.

      1. In GRIN, navigate to Account > App Marketplace.
      2. Select Connect on BigCommerce.
      Note

      If you don’t see BigCommerce in your Marketplace, you can also search for it or filter results by the Ecommerce app category.

      1. Enter the following information:
        • Brand: The Brand you want to connect your BigCommerce store to.
        • BigCommerce Store URL: Be sure to include the full URL that appears when logging in to your BigCommerce Control Panel, like https://store-123abc.mybigcommerce.com/.
        • Store Hash: This is the pattern that appears after the hyphen in your store URL. For example, from the above, the hash would be 123abc.
        • Access Token: This is the same access token you copied from Generating an API Token section above.
      2. Select Connect.

      GRIN will then check if your credentials are correct. If they are, then you’ll be connected with your BigCommerce store, and you'll be able to import and sync your products to GRIN.
