BigCommerce is an eCommerce SaaS platform that offers users built-in hosting, payment integration, marketing tools, and advanced security. Whether you are looking to load BigCommerce data for deeper analysis or simply want to create a backup of this data for future analysis, deciding to move your data to BigQuery is the right step toward driving better business decisions. Replicate your BigCommerce data to BigQuery in minutes for a quick decision-making process and optimizations without wasting time crunching the data.

 

Why integrate BigCommerce to BigQuery

When it comes to selling your products, having the most up-to-date information in your systems is imperative. Keeping your BigCommerce data synced with the other applications is essential to better manage billing, payment, and finances. Integrating your BigCommerce data to a robust cloud-based data warehouse like Google BigQuery can help you summarize data to improve analysis and in turn, increase productivity and performance. Getting your BigCommerce data into your BigQuery data warehouse is the first step toward setting up a meaningful analytical workflow and getting key insights from your data.

 

BigCommerce Overview

BigCommerce is a SaaS eCommerce solution that provides business owners with everything they need to start and grow their online store. It is a robust cloud platform with an easy-to-use interface and advanced built-in features. It combines enterprise functionality, an open architecture, an app ecosystem, and market-leading performance, providing extreme scalability for online stores. BigCommerce has pre-built integrations, a powerful application programming interface (API) for both custom and complex builds, and retains the greater core functionality.

 

Google BigQuery Overview

BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse that enables scalable analysis over petabytes of data. It is a Platform as a Service that enables super-fast SQL queries against using the processing power of Google’s infrastructure. It also has built-in machine learning capabilities. BigQuery is a fast, powerful, and flexible data warehouse helping you securely and cost-effectively process relevant data and turn it into actionable insights for your business.

 

How to Replicate BigCommerce to BigQuery

Here are two approaches you can use to replicate BigCommerce data to BigQuery. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own Data Pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using BigCommerce APIs & then connect it properly with the BigQuery data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention which makes it cumbersome.
