A build-to-order BigCommerce solution for teams that need to reconcile transactions and exceptions in b2b commerce, with idempotent processing, visible exceptions, and reconciliation.

The buyer job

Finance operations leads need to reconcile transactions and exceptions without losing ownership when records cross system boundaries. This concept starts with the business decision and evidence required at each stage, then maps that intent to supported BigCommerce surfaces.

Workflow and object design

Receive a b2b commerce signal, validate its source and required fields, resolve company, buyer and quote, apply the financial reconciliation decision rules, write the approved state, then record a correlated audit result. The source event is b2b.reconcile.requested; the resulting audit event is b2b.reconcile.recorded. The mapped business surface is company, buyer and quote.

Technical approach

The scoped design may use REST Management APIs, GraphQL Storefront API, signed webhooks, Stencil theme extensions, Catalyst storefront components. Authentication is based on store-level or app OAuth credentials with least-privilege scopes. The implementation accounts for BigCommerce rate-limit headers and GraphQL complexity budgets.

Failure and reconciliation design

Every request uses the idempotency key bigcommerce-b2b-reconcile:source-id:revision. Retryable transport and throttle responses enter bounded backoff; validation and mapping failures enter a visible exception queue. A reconciliation pass compares source revision, target identifier and recorded state, then permits controlled replay without duplicating the business action.
