bigcommerce / bigcommerce-for-wordpress

A headless commerce integration for WordPress, powered by BigCommerce

BigCommerce for WordPress

Plugin Setup

As with any WordPress plugin, upload the plugin ZIP file to the plugins directory and activate via the WordPress admin or WP-CLI.

System Requirements

• PHP: 7.4+
• MySQL: 5.6+ (or MariaDB version 10.1+)
• WordPress: 5.8+
• SSL
• The PHP intl extension will enable better currency formatting

Assets build

• Run nvm use
• Run yarn install
• Run grunt build for production and grunt for development

Settings

Find the BigCommerce settings screen at BigCommerce -> Settings in the WordPress admin menu.

Product Sync

Once authenticated with the BigCommerce API, the plugin will import products. This will run automatically using WordPress cron, using the schedule set on the settings page (default: daily).

If you choose to disable the cron job, you can set a server-side cron job to run the sync using WP-CLI. The command to import products is:

wp bigcommerce import products

Product titles, descriptions, and post statuses can be edited in the WordPress admin. Your changes will be automatically synced with your BigCommerce channel and preserved during future imports.

Cart Settings

When the cart is enabled, visitors to your store can add products to carts before checkout. If it is disabled, the "Add to Cart" button becomes a "Buy Now" button, sending customers directly to checkout for that product.

When the cart is enabled, the plugin will automatically created a page to host the cart shortcode, [bigcommerce_cart]. This shortcode will show the current visitor's cart. To change this to a different page, first create a page with the cart shortcode, then come back to the settings page and select it from the dropdown.

Important Note: the cart page should be excluded from any page caching system enabled for your site.

Currency Settings

The store's default currency code will be imported from the BigCommerce API as part of the product import process.

If the PHP intl extension is available on your server, there is nothing else to configure. If it is not available, you will be presented with additional fields to control currency formatting. These will also be populated automatically from the API.

Important Note: Currency format settings are for display only and will not affect price conversion. Prices will be imported according to the default currency (the currency in which prices were entered).

Currency formatting can be filtered using the bigcommerce/currency/format filter.

Accounts and Registration

User accounts in WordPress will be connected to customers in BigCommerce. If user registration is enabled in WordPress (the "Anyone can register" checkbox at Settings -> General in the WordPress admin), customers will be able to register accounts and manage their profiles.

The plugin requires several pages to support user account management. These pages will all be created automatically. Each will contain a shortcode that renders the relevant content. If any are deleted, they will be automatically re-created for you. If you have multiple pages with these shortcodes, you may select which will be treated as canonical using the dropdowns in this settings section.

The "Support Email" field will be used to give customers an address to contact you with questions about orders.

Theme Customizer

The visual presentation of your store can be customized using the WordPress theme customizer. Open the theme customizer and find the "BigCommerce" panel, which contains several sections.

Buttons: Control the labels applied to buttons for interacting with products.

Colors & Themes: Customize colors to better match your theme.

Catalog Pages: Control the presentation of lists of products.

Product Single: Control the presentation of individual product pages.

Product Archive: Customize labels and filters for the product archive.

Navigation Menus

This plugin creates several pages, and they can be added to the WordPress navigation menus using the standard WordPress admin (Appearance -> Menus, or in the theme customizer). Some of these pages are treated specially when they are added to navigation menus.

Cart: The cart menu item will show the number of items in the current user's cart.

Login: If the user is logged in, the login page menu item becomes a link to log out.

Register: If user registration is disabled, the menu item will be disabled (it won't render on the front end of the site). If the user is logged in, the menu item will link to the user's account profile.

Account Profile, Order History, Addresses: If the user is not logged in, these menu items will be disabled (they won't render on the front end of the site).

Product Import

Products are imported from the BigCommerce API on a WordPress cron job, or using a WP-CLI command: wp bigcommerce import products

The import runs in several stages:

1. If your channel does not currently have any listings, all products from the store will be added to the channel.
2. A list of all products from the channel is added to a queue for processing.
3. Any products on the site that are no longer available in the BigCommerce channel are marked for deletion.
4. The queue is processed in chunks (five items at a time), whereby products are imported, updated, or deleted to match the data in BigCommerce.
5. Currency and other store information from the API updates settings in WordPress.

Shortcodes

Most of the plugin's functionality is exposed on the front-end of the site through shortcodes embedded on automatically created pages. The code controlling those shortcodes can be found in the classes in src/BigCommerce/Shortcodes.

Products Shortcode

[bigcommerce_product]

The product shortcode can be used to include one or more products on other pages or posts on the WordPress site. Click the "Add Products" button above the editor to select products or build a dynamic query to include in the page.

While the shortcode can be built using the button, it can also be created manually. It accepts a number of optional attributes:

id - A comma delimited list of BigCommerce product IDs

post_id - A comma delimited list of WordPress product post IDs

sku - A comma delimited list of BigCommerce product SKUs

category - A comma delimited list of Product Category slugs

brand - A comma delimited list of Brand slugs

featured - Set to 1 to limit the query to featured products

sale - Set to 1 to limit the query to sale products

recent - Set to 1 to limit the query to products imported in the last 2 days (filter the duration with the bigcommerce/query/recent_days filter)

search - A search string to match against product titles, BigCommerce product IDs, or SKUs

paged - Set to 0 to disable pagination

per_page - The number of products to show per page. Defaults to the value set in the theme customizer.

order - Whether to sort products in "ASC" or "DESC" order

orderby - Which field to use for sorting. Accepts any field that WP_Query accepts (e.g., title, date)

Other Shortcodes

[bigcommerce_signin_form] - The form for users to log in to the site. If user registration is enabled, it will also give a link to the registration page.

[bigcommerce_registration_form] - A form to register a new customer account.

[bigcommerce_cart] - The items currently in the customer's cart.

[bigcommerce_account_profile] - A form to update the customer's profile.

[bigcommerce_order_history] - A list of the customer's past orders.

[bigcommerce_shipping_address_list] - A list of the customer's shipping addresses, and forms to add, remove, or update addresses.

Template Overrides

All templates that render on the front end are found in the templates/public directory. To Override any template, create a bigcommerce directory in your theme and copy the template file to that directory. Examples:

Copy templates/public/single-bigcommerce_product.php to bigcommerce/single-bigcommerce_product.php

Copy templates/public/components/page-wrapper.php to bigcommerce/components/page-wrapper.php

Most templates are used for rendering content inside of the content area of your theme's template. Only a few take over the entire page template. These may need modifications to match your theme.

single-bigcommerce_product.php: The template for rendering a single Product post.

archive-bigcommerce_product.php: The template for rendering the Product post type archive.

Both of these templates call get_header() and get_footer() to render your theme's default header and footer. The page content is rendered inside the wrapper template found in components/page-wrapper.php. By modifying this wrapper template to match the HTML markup of a template in your theme, you should have consistent styling across your site.

Additional precautions should be taken when editing the contents of a template override. Within each of the templates there are data-attributes and PHP calls that are required in order for the template to work properly. Wherever you see a PHP call, you should assume that it is a necessary part of that template and should not be removed or altered. Additionally, you will find documentation in all of these templates denoting where specific classes or data-attributes are required. Omitting or removing these classes or attributes could potentially break the JS functionality of this plugin and your site's theme.

Action and Filter Hooks

Architectural Guidelines

All actions and filters called by the plugin begin with the bigcommerce/ prefix (e.g., bigcommerce/init). If there is a dynamic component to the hook, it should be preceded by an equal sign (e.g., bigcommerce/template=' . $template . '/path).

The entire plugin operates through closures wrapped around calls to classes instantiated via a dependency injection container. In the event that you need to modify the core behavior of the plugin, there are several methods to get access to these closures.

WARNING: Modifying core plugin functionality can lead to security vulnerabilities, data corruption, broken user workflows, and an overall unpleasant experience for you and your customers. Proceed at your own risk.

The bigcommerce/init action fires after the plugin has completed initializing all of it service providers and hooked them into WordPress. It passes two arguments: the primary plugin controller (an instance of the BigCommerce\Plugin class) and the dependency injection container itself. The former is also available at any time after initialization by calling the function bigcommerce().

An instance of each of the service providers found in the src/BigCommerce/Container directory can be accessed via this plugin controller, using the keys specified in \BigCommerce\Plugin::load_service_providers(). E.g., to get an instance of the BigCommerce\Container\Cart service provider, you would use bigcommerce()->cart.

Every action or filter callback created by one of the service providers is given an identifier so that it can be retrieved and, if appropriate, unhooked from WordPress. E.g., to unhook the closure that renders the product archive template and replace it with your own, you could do:

remove_action( 'bigcommerce/template/product/archive', bigcommerce()->templates->product_archive, 10 );
add_action( 'bigcommerce/template/product/archive', 'your_callback_function', 10, 2 );

option missing

Hi

I notice product option missing.

Only show filter options that are associated with products on screen

Currently, if a user is on a product category page or has set some filters on the product results, all filter options will show, often resulting in no products being found.

We've updated our plugin to only show filter options that will yield results.

https://github.com/5874/5874-bigcommerce

Separate components for quick view gallery and single product page gallery

Is there going to be the option to have different html for the gallery that appears in the quick view pop up and the gallery on the single product page?

Currently struggling to squeeze the same components in to bootstrap when parent elements are opened and closed in different component files.

I'm sure we can find a way to make it work but it may be helpful to be able to adapt the code depending on where it is displayed.

(also, any update on the gallery bug?)

cart icon is not showingnumber of items

I have followed the instructions to integrate the "Bigcommerce for Wordpress" plugin in my site. I have added the API Credentials in wordpress and connected it then improted the products from Bigcommerce store and currently it displaying on tests page
please check this URL https://thepeopleschemist.com/tests-page/

I'm able to add the product item onclick ADD TO CART button and it is redirecting on cart page as well
but mainly I need is to have the add to cart click add item to the cart icon, Currently CART ICON (In the header menu) is not showing the number of items.

Please Help Me As Soon As Possible!

Variatoins

Expected behavior

Inventory loads with all variants

Actual behavior

Inventory loads without any variants
only inventory without variations loads as purchaseable
all variable inventory shows as "unsupported" and you cannot put into cart

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. add plugin
2. synch with BC and upload inventory

Screenshot/Video (if applicable)

Example product page that works
http://www.lockingkeycabinets.com/products/cobra-mechanical-wallboards-5-unit-cobra-key-system/

Example product page that "unsupported" = you cannot view on site due to status
http://www.lockingkeycabinets.com/?post_type=bigcommerce_product&p=977&preview=true

Workaround or possible solution

You would have to remove all variations at this time to get the products to check out which is not an option. Variations need to transfer across with the products

Shortcodes with search are not escaped

Expected behavior

Shortcode using search includes a [/] and returns results properly.

Actual behavior

Shortcode is not being processed properly.

Steps to reproduce behavior

Within the WordPress Admin page:

1. Press "Add Products" button
2. Do a search using term [Sample]
3. Save and publish page
4. View page

Screenshot/Video (if applicable)

Workaround or possible solution

I would imagine escaping the shortcode value, but my attempt at doing that did not succeed and it is possible that your own shortcode escaping might be needed.

Single product quantity

When might we expect to see the ability to change the quantity of a product added to the cart? Just a input next to the add to cart button on single product pages would be good.

Only asking as we'll build it ourselves if it's a while off (need to have this functionality asap) but won't waste our time if it's coming in the next sprint.

Any timeframes?

Thank you!

:)

Option to remove login_url redirect

We have updated our drop in plugin to include a setting to remove the BC login_url redirect. Reason for this is we want to be able to control whether this is in place or not. Particularly in theme development, forcing admins to log in via the login front end page can be a pain at least and prevent us from logging in at worst (depending on where we are at with the theme dev).

https://github.com/5874/5874-bigcommerce

:)

"This product cannot be purchased in my online store"

products marked as "This product cannot be purchased in my online store" in BC are being pulled through to WP with the "default price" field and are available to be purchased. Will the plugin respect this setting and either display the specified message (contact our team for pricing etc) or hide the add to cart button, depending on how it's set up in BC?

Product Gallery

Is there a timeframe for when the product gallery may be fixed? Currently the thumbnails are unresponsive when clicking.

Happy to look at fixing this ourselves through our plugin if possible but don't want to spend time on something that will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you! :)

Pricing for Groups not working

Expected behavior

We have store wide discounts for groups. Expect customer to see same price in the store and in wowrdpress

Actual behavior

Show prices without group discount

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Create customer in biggcomerce
   2.Assign customer to group
   3.Create discount to the group
   4.Login to Wordpress with the same user id as created n step 1
   5.No discount in wordpress. Shows regular price

Screenshot/Video (if applicable)

Workaround or possible solution

Bulk Pricing Table

When might we expect to be able to show the bulk pricing rules for a product?

We are having to implement a custom solution for a live client (more duplication of data entry) while this is unavailable in the plugin.

Thank you!

@karen-white @topher1kenobe

Bulk Pricing rules in checkout

Hello there :)

As we are currently unable to add more than one of a product to the cart (no quantity field on the single product page yet), we are testing bulk pricing in the basket.

It would seem that the event attached to typing in a new quantity works well.

However, using the increment arrows within the quantity field in the basket does not consistently work. It appears that the event attached to the arrows only uses the last assigned bulk price rule, rather than looking up the relevant price for the current quantity.

I'm sure this will be fixed when the quantity field is added to the single product page but just wanted to flag as we're really needing this to work at the moment! :)

Thanks a lot! :)

Product Reviews

Hello there :)

We have noticed that the number of product reviews on a product is correctly pulled through but not the reviews themselves. How can we pull through the reviews?

Also, when adding a review on the WP side, it doesn't seem to sync with BC. How can we get that to happen please?

Thanks a lot!

:)

Option to remove search bar on archive pages

We have updated our plugin to include the option to remove the search from the refinery on archive pages. We found that sometimes a theme we have developed already contained a search (in the header for example) and we had no need for another one in the body.

Option in BigCommerce->Settings

https://github.com/5874/5874-bigcommerce

Product Search

I can see in src/BigCommerce/Post_Types/Product/Query.php that pre_get_posts is being hooked in to to provide the search by SKU functionality. However, the logic is failing somewhere along the way and clients are unable to search by SKU.

Does anyone have this working?

Wordpress account passwords out of sync

Expected behavior

A user should be able to log in to WordPress store account after the user resets a password with WordPress

Actual behavior

The user cannot log in unless the BigCommerce store is manually updated with the same password as WordPress store

Steps to reproduce behavior

preconditions:
A User has an existing account with BigCommerce store
User comes visits Wordpress store
User select products and adds to shopping cart
User click login
Creates an account with the same email that is attached to BigCommerce Account
The user selects a new password
Saves the account
Wordpress brings the existing account from BigCommerce to show.
User logs out
User tries to log in to WordPress store with the new WordPress password
Password error
The User resets password
The user still cannot log in
Admin logs to the big commerce store and manually updates password to match with the WordPress password.
The user can log in now.

Hidden Products are imported

Expected behavior

Products with 'hidden' visibility in the BigCommerce store should not import through the Wordpress plugin.

Actual behavior

All products regardless of visibility are importing.

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Hide a product in BigCommerce
2. Import products in Wordpress.
3. Note that all products are imported

Screenshot/Video (if applicable)

Workaround or possible solution

All products imported to Wordpress are initially left in an unpublished state.

• Not a high priority.
• May be desired functionality of the developer.

Currency symbol is misleading and dangerous

Expected behavior

Change currency symbol from "$" to "€" and instead of $25.00, €21.38 would display.

Actual behavior

Instead of $25.00, €25.00 displays.

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Change Currency Symbol

Screenshot/Video (if applicable)

N/A

Workaround or possible solution

My opinion, but changing currency symbol will be misleading to some users expecting the currencies to actually be converted. Especially true since this is how BigCommerce currently operates.

Ability for user to add review

Thanks for the latest review functionality.

Am I right in understanding that a client must mark a product as allowing comments to enable reviews on that product?

Would it make more sense to import all products with comments enabled? It's a bit of a task for our clients to go through every imported product and enable comments.

I suggest team to add product link at cart page product name or image

"Added ability for shoppers to submit Product Reviews on product pages"

In the latest release, the comments include

"Added ability for shoppers to submit Product Reviews on product pages"

Is this just through wordpress comments or are they syncing with BC?

Are reviews on BC being synced and can they be read on the product page?

Conflit with Theme Blog Grid layout and BigComm Plugin

Expected behavior

I can see my main pages and other pages of website with plugin enabled.

Actual behavior

When we add a blog grid we get a conflict with plugin that kills most of all pages on the website. If we use the same blog section as list or author or excerpt it works fine. My assumption is the Grid format is conflicting with the Grid format in the new BigComm plugin.

We are using Enfold Them with all plugins up to date. We disabled all plugs and vested each one for the issue.

Error message at the top of the page when Grid view is enabled for blog posts: (cut and paste from view source)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function avia_wc_clear_catalog_ordering_args_filters() in /nas/content/staging/thril/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider/postslider.php on line 828

Workaround or possible solution

Product brands not being assigned

Whilst some products have their brand assigned correctly within WP, most do not.

The brands themselves are pulled through to WP but products are not correctly assigned to them.

For example, we have a brand with 221 products assigned to it in BC. In WP, the brand exists but has 0 products assigned to it. The same goes for many other brands with products associated in BC but not in WP.

Any ideas??

:)

License

Hi - am just curious what the license of the plugin is (or will be).

Product Images changing based on colour option selection

Hello!

Currently, when selecting a colour option on a product, the image does not update to reflect the selection as it does on BC.

When might we expect to see this functionality please?

:)

Option to NOT redirect to cart when product added

How do we stop the plugin redirecting to the cart every time a product is added?

It becomes tedious when wanting to shop for multiple items.

release notes?

Would it be possible to get some release notes for 0.10.0 please?

We can see reviews have been done but we are unsure (without trawling through the code) what to tell our clients has been updated.

Thanks very much!

Search by SKU

Currently a user can search for a product by SKU on BC.

Do you know when we might expect this functionality within the WP plugin?

We have a client specifically asking for this functionality from WP as their customers tend to search for their products by SKU.

We can probably implement a solution ourselves but would rather not invest time in a feature that will be solved with an imminent release.

Thank you! :)

quick view click

I suggest to remove full image click for quick view.

Sort & Filters with [bigcommerce_product] shortcode

Is it possible to use have access to sorting and filters with the [bigcommerce_product] shortcode? This would be helpful when creating a product category page.

Product rules not being respected

The plugin is not currently respecting product rules set up in Big Commerce. At best, it is failing with a confusing cart error message, at worst it is adding entirely different product options to the cart and not informing the user!

Here are two examples:

EXAMPLE 1.

Product A has two possible options to choose from and is set up in BC with the following rule:

So, in theory, if a user chooses "30 Metre" and "OM1", purchasing should be disabled.

On the front end of BC, this happens when selecting those options (the add to basket button is removed, which is correct):

On the WordPress front end, this happens when selecting those same options (nothing):

When clicking add to cart, it would appear that the product, with those options is successfully added (the message even says so):

HOWEVER! If we look more closely at the line item, we can see that the product has been added as 0.5 Metre. This is a show stopper. The customer is very unlikely to notice this, which is obviously really bad. But even if they do, there is no clear direction on how to add the product with the available options (they can't).

EXAMPLE 2.

Product B has one option and is set up in BC with the following rule:

BC front end (woo! Add to cart button removed when selecting 30 metre!):

Wordpress Front end (boooo):

This time, when clicking add to cart with the option selected that should be disabled, we get this on the cart page:

Whilst this is a lot better than adding completely different options, it is not really satisfactory for the customer. The user should not be able to add the product to the cart with the "disable purchasing" rule in place on that option.

We reeeeeeeeally need this fixed asap for a live client. Pleeeeeeease!!!

;)

Checkout - Logo Links to BigCommerce Store

At checkout the customer can click on the logo in the header that takes them to the BigCommerce store. Will this be something that needs to be updated in the BigCommerce theme files? It would be great to have a setting that would allow for the logo to link back to the WordPress store. Thanks!

Wishlists & Product Comparisons

Will wishlists & product comparisons be part of the Wordpress plugin? These are important to customers. Thank you!

Product Images

Since the latest (0.10.0) release, the extra thumbnails of an image are no longer in a row and instead overflow vertically down the page.

(I am still having the same issue previously highlighted re clicking the thumbnails.)

shortcode category option syntax or change to catid="x,y,z" ?

I've had a problem using slugs perhaps some example shortcodes for each option would be useful?
I didn't know that catid was valid until I tested it ..

example of my original syntax
[bigcommerce_product category="online_store/1_litre,online_store/20_litre"]

I've found this works ..
[bigcommerce_product catid="24,25,26"]

Thanks in advance - integration with Wordpress for BigCommerce is essential if BC is going to be retained by my agency.

Roadmap?

Hello!

Is there a roadmap we could have access to that would show us what features are expected to be released when?

:)

Product Sync

When the product sync gets stuck and does not make any progress for a considerable amount of time, what is the recommended action to take?

For example, on one client, the message "Import in progress. Status: Importing products. 292 remaining." has been the same for quite a while now.

Is there a log somewhere that we've missed that may help us pin point the problem?

On a single product page, the prices do not update when options are selected. Instead, the single product page shows the price as £x - £y and the user only sees the actual price once they get to the cart.

We could really do with this being fixed asap for a client that's waiting to go live.

Thank you!!

Unavailable products not being respected and not failing elegantly

A product with rules defining the product as unavailable with a certain combination is not respected in WP.

Here's how a product set up like that shows on BC:

(for reference, here's a combination of options that does allow purchasing)

That same product in WP is displayed like this:

And the add to cart button is still available when the "unavailable" combination is selected.

When the add to cart button is clicked, the product is added to the cart but with default option selections:

I understand that rules are being phased out, but in the mean time, while a client can still use them in BC, unless a migration from rules to options is being offered (is it??) we need to support them in the plugin. And if we can't support them, we certainly can't be adding incorrect products to the cart instead of failing elegantly.

We have a client waiting to go live that needs this fixing asap.... Thank you!! :) :)

how to use shortcodes

hi

how to use shortcodes to display featured, sale, recent, category

category - A comma delimited list of Product Category slugs

brand - A comma delimited list of Brand slugs

featured - Set to 1 to limit the query to featured products

sale - Set to 1 to limit the query to sale products

recent - Set to 1 to limit the query to products imported in the last 2 days (filter the duration with the bigcommerce/query/recent_days filter)

search - A search string to match against product titles, BigCommerce product IDs, or SKUs

These might be helpful :)

We have added a few bits and bobs to the current functionality of the plugin. Most of it I'm sure will be added as dev continues but in the mean time, I thought it might be useful for others to share what we've done.

Just a small, additional plugin to drop in next to the current BC plugin.

The functionality this adds is as follows:

• Adds a UI for the taxonomies imported from BC (probably intentionally left out due to not having the two way sync yet but we needed to use them)
• Remove "category" from the product archive page title
• Adds product options as taxonomies and terms on import/update
• Adds previous terms of taxonomies to the filters available on front end archive page
• Fixes the product option swatch issue when using images as swatches (currently hard coded to #999999)
• Adds a $permalink variable available to the product-card component
• Option to send import debug info via wp_mail()
• Adds further settings to BigCommerce settings page for:
  • Whether or not to show sizes and colours
  • Username and password for sites behind Basic Auth (BC wont sync products to sites behind basic auth without this)
  • Specify how many products should be assigned to a term to warrant showing it in the filters
  • Automatically set the permalink structure required for BC plugin to work

Product Modifiers

We are currently writing a workaround to be able to support products with modifiers. However, before we spend too long on it, we just wanted to check whether or not this is a feature likely to be released in the next sprint? (and if so, when this sprint is likely to be released?)

Thanks a lot!
