Connect Bigcommerce with AfterShip to sync shipments, push automated tracking notifications, and give customers a branded tracking page that reduces WISMO and support load.
• BigCommerce orders and fulfillment shipments are ingested, and carrier codes plus tracking numbers are mapped to AfterShip tracking records.
• Shipment creation or tracking-number updates trigger event-based syncs; retries handle transient API failures, and duplicate tracking entries are de-duplicated by order and tracking key.
• AfterShip carrier status events (in transit, out for delivery, delivered, exception) are normalized and stored as timeline checkpoints per shipment.
• Customer and order identifiers are linked so tracking pages and notifications reference the correct BigCommerce order without exposing internal IDs.
• Partial shipments are handled as separate tracking records, with item-to-shipment associations preserved when provided by the fulfillment source.
• Sync activity is logged with request/response metadata, error details, and timestamps to support auditing and troubleshooting of the BigCommerce AfterShip connection.
