Important
- Once your Retail POS and BigCommerce accounts are connected, Retail POS becomes the system of record.
- You should manage your product catalog, pricing, and inventory information in Retail POS to ensure everything stays accurate and up-to-date.
- BigCommerce feeds important information back to Retail POS such as online sales, new customer or existing customer information associated with a sale, and inventory from a sale to keep stock levels in sync.

Receiving BigCommerce orders
When a customer places an order in your BigCommerce store, the order will be recorded in BigCommerce and an email sent to the customer confirming the sale.
BigCommerce sales automatically synchronize to Retail POS and appear on both the Sales history(Sell > Sales history) and Fulfillments (Inventory > Fulfillments) pages.
If a product that is not linked to BigCommerce is on an order, the order will sync to Retail POS and the product will be created in Retail POS. The order will synch even if there are no products linked to Retail POS.
This includes fully paid and unpaid sales. The sale and payments are recorded in the linked outlet on the register you have selected in the BigCommerce integration settings. The sold amount reduces the inventory level for that outlet. Sales processed in Retail POS do not sync to BigCommerce.
For information on fulfilling online orders in Retail POS, refer to our Online order fulfillment in Retail POS (X-Series) guide.
Important
If a shipping product, handling product, and/or wrapping product is added to the order in BigCommerce, the products will be created in Retail POS the first time they are attached to a sale and added to the sale in Retail POS.

Manually importing online orders
By default, we have disabled the option to Import all orders. This option allows you to import all historical orders from your online store into Retail POS, so you have a record of all online and in-store sales in one place.
Using this option can impact your current inventory levels and other information, and rectifying these changes can take time.
However, if importing orders is a requirement for your business, you can reach out to Retail Support, who can enable the option for your account.
Important
- Don't unlink and relink your stores unless you're planning on deleting all items from your BigCommerce store and starting from scratch.
- When the sale from BigCommerce comes through to Retail POS, the inventory will be deducted for all the products sold on BigCommerce.
