Step 1 — Create an API account in BigCommerce
1
Create the API account
In BigCommerce, go to Settings → Store-level API accounts → Create API account.
2
Set the scopes
For publishing, set Content — modify and Information & Settings — read-only. Add Products — modify and Orders — read-only if the agent should edit product SEO and report revenue.
3
Copy the token and API path
After saving, copy the access token and the API path shown with it (it looks like
https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/abc123xyz/v3/).Step 2 — Connect in Ryze
On the Integrations page, click Connect on the BigCommerce card and fill in:- Store hash or API path — paste the API path, or just the store hash from it (e.g.
abc123xyz) - Access token
- WebDAV username (optional) and WebDAV password (optional) — let Ryze set the featured image on each blog post. Find them in BigCommerce under Settings → File access (WebDAV). Leave both empty to publish without post thumbnails.
Troubleshooting
- “Paste the API path or the store hash” — the first field doesn’t look like a store hash. Paste the full API path shown with your token.
- “Enter both the WebDAV username and password, or leave both empty.” — fill in both WebDAV fields or neither.
- Publishing fails or product edits are rejected — the API account is missing a scope. Create a new API account with the scopes above and connect again.
