Product Workflow
To eliminate the complexity and ensure your product data and assets are synced and updated on your desired store/channel, our connector creates a robust API integration that enables you to sync all product data from your PIM to specific channels on your multi storefront, giving you the ability to quickly customize content for a specific channel on your BigCommerce store.
You can filter the data to be synchronized based on multiple filters like Locale, Digital Channel, Category, etc. allowing you to pull specific products and attribute values to your channels in your BigCommerce Single-storefront or Multi-storefront account.
You can sync thousands of categories, products, images, and more to multiple BigCommerce channels within a few minutes. Install the free version of our app on your store through the BigCommerce app store to see how it works.
