Ecosystem Expanded: BigCommerce
Storyblok is the first headless CMS that works for developers & marketers alike.
As a result of our dedication to our partners, we launched the Storyblok Ecosystem where we, together with our technology partners, help organizations accelerate and unlock their full potential for implementing successful digital projects. More than that, we help clients select the right options from our tech partners, integrate them into their projects, and offer numerous interfaces to the most relevant providers on the market.
One of our amazing technology partners is BigCommerce, an eCommerce platform for a new era. Storyblok users can take advantage of our BigCommerce-Storyblok integration, available as a plug-in in their Enterprise and Enterprise Plus spaces.

The Storyblok x BigCommerce integration
Storyblok’s partnership with BigCommerce offers stability, security, flexibility, scalability, and, above all, a seamless integration for your online shops. The integration, available in your Enterprise and Enterprise Plus Spaces, helps you connect your Storyblok-managed website with your BigCommerce platform with ease. It helps your team save time on developing an integration from scratch, testing it, and most importantly, maintaining it. Having the integration saves your marketing team time since the connector (API) helps transfer all the product information from BigCommerce to your website.
If you are interested in learning how to set up your integration plugins, follow the BigCommerce guide on how to retrieve your endpoint credentials and then the integration plugin guide on how to set up the field-type plugin. Once your integration field-type plugin is working, you should be able to select some products or categories on your Storyblok components like in the image below.
