# BigCommerce 

The BigCommerce connection can be used to build full-stack, single-click BigCommerce apps.

## What does the BigCommerce connection provide? 

Setting up the BigCommerce connection in Gadget will:

*   Give you a full-stack, hosted app that can be used to build single-click BigCommerce applications.
*   Handle OAuth and `access_token` flow required for BigCommerce apps.
*   Provide a `/load` endpoint and handle payload verification and user identification.
*   Subscribe to BigCommerce webhooks and use them to trigger actions.
*   Set up a React frontend with `BigDesign` and the `BigCommerce JS-SDK`.
*   Provide a BigCommerce API client for reading and writing data back to BigCommerce.
*   Generate a `bigcommerce/store` data model.
*   Manage user sessions in the `session` data model.

## Setting up a BigCommerce connection 

Setting up a BigCommerce connection is your first step when building single-click apps.

The [BigCommerce connection quickstart](https://docs.gadget.dev/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/bigcommerce-quickstart) will show you how to:

*   Set up the connection
*   Subscribe to BigCommerce webhooks
*   Store webhook data in a Gadget database

## Working with BigCommerce webhooks 

When you add a BigCommerce connection to an app, you can subscribe to BigCommerce webhooks and use them to trigger global actions in Gadget.

To learn more about working with BigCommerce webhooks, see the [BigCommerce webhooks guide](https://docs.gadget.dev/guides/plugins/bigcommerce/webhooks).

## Working with BigCommerce data 

The BigCommerce connection gives you an API client that can be used to read and write data to a BigCommerce store.

Read more about working with BigCommerce data in our [BigCommerce data guide](https://docs.gadget.dev/guides/plugins/bigcommerce/data).

## Building single-click app frontends 

BigCommerce apps built with Gadget have React frontends that have the BigDesign library pre-installed.
