Add BigCommerce credentials

This is where you store the API connection for your BigCommerce store. Add at least one credential before you can import or export anything.

Open it from: BigCommerce → Credentials

The credentials page

Each row in the list shows one credential:

• Label - the name you gave it.
• API URL - the BigCommerce API endpoint.
• Status - whether the credential is active.

You can search by label, sort columns, or click Filter to narrow the list. The pencil icon edits a row, the trash icon deletes it.

Generate the API account in BigCommerce

Before adding a credential in UnoPim, create an API account in BigCommerce:

1. Log into your BigCommerce admin.
2. Go to Settings → API → Store-level API accounts.

3. Click Create API account.

4. Pick the Store API V2/V3 token type.

5. Give it a name (e.g. UnoPim Connector) and set scopes:

   • Products - Modify (for export) or Read-only (import only).
   • Information & Settings - Read-only / Modify.

   

   

6. Save the account. BigCommerce shows the Client ID, Client Secret, Access Token, and API path once - copy them now.

You'll paste these into UnoPim next.

Add a credential

In UnoPim, click + Create Credential in the top-right corner.

Fill in:

Field	What goes here
Label	Any name you want, e.g. Production Store. Used to identify this credential everywhere.
API URL	The BigCommerce API path, e.g. https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/<store-hash>/. Copy this from the BigCommerce API account screen.
Client ID	Client ID from the API account.
Client Secret	Client Secret from the API account.
Access Token	Access Token from the API account.
Status	Active / Inactive. Inactive credentials are hidden from the import / export filter dropdowns.

Click Save Credential.

The connector verifies the credentials against BigCommerce before saving. If anything is wrong you see a clear error and nothing is stored.

After saving, you land on the edit page where you can adjust the credential settings, locale mapping, and currency mapping.

Edit a credential

Click the pencil icon on any row.

You can:

• Change any of the values you set when creating.
• Leave Access Token and Client Secret blank (or as **********) to keep the current values - type a new value to replace.
• Set the Default Currency and Default Locale that BigCommerce expects when a product doesn't carry a locale-specific value.
• Configure the Locale Mapping - match each UnoPim locale to a BigCommerce locale.
• Configure the Currency Mapping - match each UnoPim currency to a BigCommerce currency.

Click Update when done.

Delete a credential

Click the trash icon on a row and confirm.

CAUTION

Deleting a credential does not delete the products / categories already pushed to BigCommerce. It only stops future imports / exports from running through it.
