How a BigCommerce store integrates Whatmore — Stencil (hosted) or headless. The building blocks are the same as any non-Shopify store; this page maps them onto BigCommerce.

​
1. Connect your catalog

Whatmore reads your products through the BigCommerce Catalog API and you map the fields in the dashboard. Your product endpoint is typically:
In dashboard.whatmore.live select BigCommerce, enter the endpoint + token, and map fields to Whatmore’s (title, client_product_id, price, compare-at, product URL, image) — see Catalog API → Connect in the dashboard. (Also push price/stock/image updates via the Catalog API.)

​
2. Embed the widget

In the dashboard, set up a surface, choose a template, and copy the generated snippet:
  • Stencil: paste it via Script Manager (Storefront → Script Manager) or a Stencil template (e.g. product.html).
  • Headless: mount it in your storefront app.
The snippet is generated for your store — no hardcoded script URL.

​
3. Authentication

For order tracking, fetch a bearer token from GET /auth/access-token?store_id=<store_id> server-side (store the store_id / token in your app’s secure config). See Authentication.

​
4. Order tracking

On order completion (order-confirmation page, or a BigCommerce store/order/* webhook), call Order Tracking with the order items. The web widget stores video-view / add-to-cart signals in localStorage, so the ready-to-use snippet picks them up.
