TLDR: You can now build BigCommerce apps with Gadget!

‍

We’re excited to announce that our support for ecommerce platforms is expanding. Starting today, developers can build single-click custom and public BigCommerce apps up to 10x faster with Gadget.

The new BigCommerce integration gives you everything you need to build and run BigCommerce apps, so developers and agencies can skip the setup and focus on the code that makes applications unique. Every project boots up with a Postgres database, Node.js backend, and React frontend, hosted on Google Cloud and stitched together from the start.

Similar to the existing Shopify connection, Gadget’s new BigCommerce plugin handles authentication, webhook subscriptions, and store tenancy for you. The platform’s serverless infrastructure automatically scales your app to handle any amount of data that needs to be processed. You can be confident that your infrastructure, code, and connection to BigCommerce are performant at all times, even when stores have major sales.

We’ve worked closely with the BigCommerce developer team to create an app development workflow that enables developers to work quickly and build the best possible solutions for BigCommerce stores. Both the BigCommerce and Gadget teams are excited to see what you build with this partnership.

Build your BigCommerce apps at superspeed

Whether you're creating a complex inventory management system or a simple product customizer, Gadget's BigCommerce integration gives you the tools to build it quickly and efficiently. Focus on building unique features for your app instead of wrestling with infrastructure and boilerplate code.

Here are just a few examples of what you can build with Gadget and BigCommerce.

Apps and extensions

Build apps and extensions that personalize the shopping experience and grow sales. Whether you’re a BigCommerce agency building custom solutions for a single store, or looking to publish a new SaaS product to the BigCommerce App Marketplace, Gadget makes it easy. 

‍

Internal tools

Build mission-critical tools quickly and without compromise. By giving you complete control over your data, Gadget makes it easy and cost-effective to streamline your existing workflows. In minutes, you can set up simple automations, custom dashboards, or complex apps to help teams do their best work.

‍

Integrations

Connect to your PIM or ERP at a fraction of the cost of an iPaaS. Gadget lets you build robust, reliable integrations with the ability to mutate and enrich data between systems in a real Node.js environment. The platform even supports background actions so you can run async tasks without any additional setup.

‍

Focus on the fun code

Until now, building BigCommerce apps has been a long, arduous process. Setting up authentication, webhook subscription, frontend tokens and session management, on top of setting up a database, all before you got to the actual problem you were trying to solve.

With Gadget, all of that is taken care of (even the database!). As you build your app in Gadget, you get auto-generated APIs and documentation, and a frontend that’s ready to build with BigDesign. We even give you background actions to handle async tasks, and the ability to deploy everything you build in a single click.

By bringing BigCommerce into the Gadget ecosystem, we're making it easier than ever for developers and agencies to support their clients and build solutions brands love.
