BigCommerce + Odoo Integration: Scaling Your Online Store with ERP

BigCommerce is the eCommerce platform of choice for mid-market brands that need enterprise features without enterprise complexity. With native multi-storefront support, headless commerce capabilities, and strong B2B features, BigCommerce serves businesses that have outgrown Shopify but do not need Magento's complexity.

Integrating BigCommerce with Odoo creates a system where BigCommerce handles the customer experience while Odoo manages the operational backbone.

Why BigCommerce Sellers Need Odoo

BigCommerce excels at frontend commerce but lacks backend depth:

• No warehouse management — BigCommerce tracks inventory at a single level with no bin locations, multi-warehouse logic, or wave picking
• No manufacturing — If you produce or assemble products, BigCommerce cannot manage production workflows
• Limited purchasing — No purchase order management, vendor management, or automated reorder points
• Basic financials — BigCommerce provides sales reports but not full double-entry accounting

Odoo fills all these gaps while BigCommerce continues to serve customers.

Integration Architecture

The integration uses BigCommerce's REST API (V3) and webhooks:

Products (Odoo → BigCommerce):

• Product name, description, pricing, images, and variants
• Category and brand assignments
• Custom fields for product specifications
• Multi-storefront product visibility rules

Orders (BigCommerce → Odoo):

• Order data with line items, customer information, and shipping details
• Payment status from BigCommerce payment gateway
• Multi-shipping address orders (ship to multiple addresses)
• Digital product orders with download entitlements

Inventory (Odoo → BigCommerce):

• Real-time stock level updates per variant
• Multi-location inventory (BigCommerce V3 supports multi-location)
• Backorder and preorder status management

Multi-Storefront Support

BigCommerce's native multi-storefront feature allows running multiple branded stores from one BigCommerce account. The Odoo integration supports:

• Each storefront mapped to an Odoo sales team or company
• Per-storefront pricing through Odoo pricelists
• Shared or segmented inventory per storefront
• Consolidated order management across all storefronts

BigCommerce B2B Edition

For businesses using BigCommerce's B2B capabilities:

• Company accounts — B2B customer companies synced to Odoo partner records
• Quote management — Quote requests flow between BigCommerce and Odoo
• Payment terms — Net-30/60/90 terms managed in Odoo, enforced in BigCommerce
• Customer-specific pricing — Odoo pricelists drive per-customer pricing in BigCommerce
• Purchase order payments — B2B payment methods tracked in Odoo Accounting

Headless Commerce Integration

For BigCommerce stores using headless architecture (Next.js, Gatsby, or custom frontend):

• The integration works identically regardless of frontend technology
• API-first approach means the Odoo connection operates at the BigCommerce backend level
• Custom storefronts benefit from the same real-time inventory and order sync

Setup Process

1. Install the BigCommerce Store Management module
2. Generate BigCommerce API credentials (V3 tokens)
3. Configure the connection with store hash and API tokens
4. Map BigCommerce categories to Odoo product categories
5. Enable product, inventory, and order sync
6. Configure multi-storefront rules (if applicable)
7. Set up accounting mappings for payment methods

Performance Metrics

The module handles high-volume operations efficiently:

• 1,000+ SKU inventory updates per minute
• Order import latency under 3 minutes
• Webhook-driven real-time updates for critical events
• Automatic retry with exponential backoff for transient failures
