BigCommerce

Customers expect fast, accurate help without leaving your BigCommerce store. But policy pages, product FAQs, and order details often live in different places, which creates friction and more tickets. The Brainfish + BigCommerce integration delivers AI customer service by bringing answers inside your storefront, syncing catalog and policy content automatically, and revealing insights that help every team improve. Brainfish uses your BigCommerce data to power in-product guidance through AI support agents, keeps knowledge fresh with auto-updating documentation, and quantifies impact with Customer Analytics.

How does AI customer service work with Brainfish and BigCommerce?

Brainfish connects to your BigCommerce APIs, syncs product and policy content, then delivers in-store answers that improve with every interaction. It uses analytics to learn what resolves issues and where content needs attention.

1. In Brainfish, go to Integrations and choose BigCommerce.
2. In your BigCommerce control panel, create an API account with read scopes for Products, Orders, and Customers.
3. Enter your store hash, API path, client ID, and access token in Brainfish.
4. Map fields for products, categories, order status, and policy pages to Brainfish knowledge.
5. Set sync cadence and enable BigCommerce webhooks for product and order updates, then activate the connection.

BigCommerce offers robust APIs for this connection, including the BigCommerce REST Admin API, BigCommerce webhooks for real-time updates, and the Storefront GraphQL API for storefront data. Brainfish uses these to support reliable Content Sync and adaptive answers.
