What BigCommerce API permissions does Bookbag require?

Bookbag needs read access to Orders, Customers, and Products, and write access to Order Refunds and Order Messages. You configure these scopes when creating the API account in your BigCommerce control panel.

Does Bookbag support BigCommerce's multi-storefront feature?

Yes. You can connect multiple storefronts to one Bookbag workspace, and the agent will query the appropriate storefront based on the customer's channel or the email domain they write from.

Can Bookbag process refunds in BigCommerce?

Yes. Using BigCommerce's Refunds API, Bookbag can issue line-item or order-level refunds within the dollar limits and order-status conditions you configure in your Bookbag action rules.

How does the BigCommerce integration handle guest checkouts?

Bookbag can look up guest orders by order ID and billing email. If the customer provides both, the agent retrieves the order details and responds accordingly — no account login required.

Is there a BigCommerce app in the marketplace?

Bookbag connects via direct API credentials rather than a marketplace app. This gives you full control over the integration without depending on marketplace review cycles.

How it works together

Connect BigCommerce and Bookbag gets the context and reach it needs to resolve more tickets automatically.

Connect via BigCommerce API credentials
Create an API account in your BigCommerce control panel and provide the store hash, client ID, and access token to Bookbag. The agent uses these to query orders, customers, and products.
Answer order and shipping queries in real time
Bookbag calls BigCommerce's Orders API on demand, retrieving current order status, shipment tracking numbers, and estimated delivery windows to answer customer questions instantly.
Take action on eligible orders
Within the policy rules you define in Bookbag, the agent can create refunds, add order messages, and update order statuses directly in BigCommerce — resolving tickets end-to-end.
Use webhooks for event-driven proactive support
Subscribe to BigCommerce order webhooks so Bookbag is notified immediately when an order ships or is delayed, enabling it to proactively reach out to customers before they contact support.
