What BigCommerce data can LinkyFlow access?
The catalogue (products, variants, images, custom fields, options, modifiers, reviews, brands and categories), the orders (their lines, shipping addresses, shipments, coupons, transactions, refunds and your store's order statuses), the customers with their addresses and groups, the inventory locations and the stock at each, coupons, promotions and the store's own information — 26 queries over the BigCommerce V2 and V3 APIs. Webhooks are not supported.
Can LinkyFlow write to BigCommerce?
Yes, from Excel and the web app: create, update and delete products, variants, product images (added from a public image URL), custom fields, brands, customers, customer addresses, customer groups and coupons; create and update orders, archive them (BigCommerce keeps an archived order, restorable from its control panel) and create shipments with their tracking number; set the stock of one SKU at one location to an absolute quantity. Categories, refunds, promotions and reviews are read-only.
What do I need to connect?
A store-level API account with a V2/V3 API token, created under Settings → API → Store-level API accounts in your BigCommerce control panel. Grant the scopes you want LinkyFlow to use, each optional — Products, Orders, Order transactions (read-only), Customers, Store inventory and Store locations, Marketing, and Information & settings (read-only), which names the connection after your store — set to modify to write, read-only to only read. Paste the API path and the access token BigCommerce shows — the token is shown only once.
How are prices handled?
BigCommerce takes prices as numbers: a cell holding "19.99" is converted before it is sent. The effective price is the one BigCommerce computes from the list and sale prices, so it is read-only.
Can ChatGPT or Claude work with my BigCommerce store?
Yes, to read it: through MCP they can read your catalogue, orders, customers, stock and coupons with the same connection. Every write — deletes and stock levels included — stays in Excel and the web app.
