BigCommerce API
The BigCommerce API is a RESTful application programming interface that allows developers to programmatically interact with the BigCommerce e-commerce platform. It enables integration with external systems, automation of store operations, and building custom applications by providing access to store data, products, orders, customers, and other e-commerce functionalities. Developers can use it to create headless commerce solutions, sync inventory, manage orders, or develop custom storefronts.
Developers should learn the BigCommerce API when building integrations for e-commerce stores on the BigCommerce platform, such as connecting to third-party services like ERP, CRM, or marketing tools. It's essential for automating repetitive tasks like order processing, inventory updates, or customer management, and for creating custom shopping experiences in headless commerce architectures where the frontend is decoupled from the backend.
