As shopping online has become the new normal, we no longer need to explain the importance of adopting an e-commerce order management system for your business. As a general rule, no two businesses are alike; that’s why the market offers plenty of platforms to choose from.
The major e-commerce apps around the globe are Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento, but these platforms may not cover certain functionality preferences of some enterprises. Considering the differences in companies’ sizes, the type of commodities they sell, and their general requirements, it may be that you have decided to go with BigCommerce – a great and highly desired app by big-sized companies. So, we have decided to show you how to connect our software with it for a top-notch e-commerce order management system.
You shouldn’t worry because our cloud-based inventory management solution doesn’t natively integrate with BigCommerce. Zapier – a 3rd party application that serves to extend Megaventory’s API essentially, is there to take care of it! Through this automation site, you can connect the BigCommerce app with the Megaventory platform in a matter of minutes—without any technical knowledge. And it is way easier than you might think!
How BigCommerce stands out from other e-commerce order management system apps:
Certainly, BigCommerce is one of the most important e-commerce order management systems in the industry. It’s a valuable tool for operating large and fast-growing businesses online, as well as enhancing its shoppers’ buying experience. Here are 3 reasons why you may have chosen to go with BigCommerce compared to anything else:
- Built-in marketing tools and analytics: With BigCommerce you don’t need to integrate a third-party app for analyzing actionable information and stimulating customers’ interest. You can easily launch promotional campaigns, offer discounts, and create coupons or other gift vouchers, as BigCommerce already has this as a built-in feature.
- Most up-to-date SEO practices: The platform enriches itself with SEO-friendly features like auto-optimized titles, sitemaps, and customizable, search-friendly URLs. Moreover, BigCommerce suggests effective keywords for SEO optimization.
- Next-level selling: Thanks to an astronomical amount of built-in sales features, it becomes very simple and convenient to stimulate online purchases. In addition to this, you are able to sell on numerous websites, particularly the trendiest ones like Facebook, Amazon, and eBay.
For all its merits, you can improve BigCommerce considering inventory management, stock tracking and replenishment, reporting, user permissions, etc. This is where Megaventory comes in, together with Zapier integration. All you need to take advantage of superior order and inventory management is to adopt a basic logic in Zapier that connects both Bigcommerce and Megaventory Orders.
Connecting BigCommerce and Megaventory using Zapier
Currently, Zapier enables certain combinations of connectivity between Megaventory and BigCommerce.
First, you want your BigCommerce customers to display instantly in Megaventory without manual transfer. So, you may arrange a Zap to build a Megaventory client when a BigCommerce client joins up.
Similarly, when an order is placed on your BigCommerce platform, Zapier will create the same order in Megaventory. Set ‘New Order’ for BigCommerce and ‘Insert a Sales Order’ for Megaventory as Zap’s trigger and action, respectively.
Note that you can’t create a product from BigCommerce to Megaventory. This means that products should be uploaded to both apps before any connection takes place.
Benefits of BigCommerce order management system using Megaventory
To level up your e-commerce order management, take a look at some of the benefits of connecting the two apps:
- Convenience: Opening an e-commerce channel for your business should be reason enough. Doing this with BigCommerce, an approach that minimizes complexity and overheads in setting things up, is an additional reason. Furthermore, bringing Megaventory into the stack allows you to manage orders from your current channels alongside this new channel seamlessly.
- Performance measurement: After connecting the systems and getting orders from BigCommerce and other channels, you may compare their performance. That way, you will be able to understand which channel performs best. Also, you will find out the most favorable product category or period to sell your items. Without exception, these insights can prove to be critical in growing your business.
- Business simplification: Megaventory will assist you in replenishing your stock with its Purchase and Production module. Even while Zapier doesn’t allow Megaventory-BigCommerce stock synchronization (it must be done through spreadsheet imports), these modules will help streamline your operation.
Summary
As you see, it’s very easy to connect two apps without any technical knowledge—just a bit of work. Also, the benefits are clear and substantial. What’s not to like about two Zaps handling clients and orders across platforms?
