Products automatically flow from Heritage Auctions to BigCommerce.
Which BigCommerce API versions does SyncAuction support?
SyncAuction supports both BigCommerce API V2 and V3. We primarily use V3 for products, categories, and catalog operations as it offers better performance, batch operations, and more features. V2 is used for specific legacy operations and certain webhook types. Your store will work seamlessly regardless of when it was created.
Does the Heritage Auctions integration work with BigCommerce Multi-Storefront?
Yes, SyncAuction fully supports BigCommerce Multi-Storefront (MSF). Sync products to all storefronts from a single API connection, or configure different product sets for different storefronts. Each storefront can have its own category mappings, pricing rules, and visibility settings. MSF requires BigCommerce Enterprise plan.
Does SyncAuction support PCGS and NGC graded coins in BigCommerce?
Yes, SyncAuction fully supports PCGS and NGC graded coins from Heritage Auctions. Certification numbers, grades (MS60-MS70, PR60-PR70), and grading service sync as BigCommerce custom fields. Display grade information on product pages by customizing your theme, and use custom fields for advanced product filtering.
Can SyncAuction handle BigCommerce's hierarchical category structure?
Yes, SyncAuction fully supports BigCommerce's hierarchical category tree with unlimited nesting levels. Map Heritage Auctions categories to any level in your category tree, automatically create new nested categories during sync, or use a flat structure. The mapping is fully configurable in your SyncAuction dashboard.
What happens when a coin sells on BigCommerce?
When a BigCommerce order is placed for a Heritage Auctions item, SyncAuction receives the webhook notification in real-time. The item is immediately marked as sold in your central inventory, removed from HA.com Dealer Direct if you've enabled that option, and you receive order details for fulfillment. This prevents overselling across platforms.
How do I create BigCommerce API credentials?
Go to BigCommerce Control Panel → Settings → API Accounts → Create API Account. Select "Create V2/V3 API Token". Set OAuth scopes: Products (modify), Orders (modify), Content (modify), Store Information (read-only). Save to generate credentials. Copy your Store Hash (from URL), Client ID, and Access Token to SyncAuction's store configuration.
What enterprise features are available for BigCommerce users?
BigCommerce Enterprise customers get higher API rate limits for faster syncing, multi-storefront support, price lists integration for customer-specific pricing, customer groups for B2B catalog visibility, and advanced filtering. Combined with SyncAuction Enterprise, you get 15-minute sync frequency, unlimited products, and dedicated support.
