BigCommerce

Publish Grandranker articles to your BigCommerce blog with a Store API access token and store hash. Already connected on the Products page for product sync? Reuse that token — no second API account.

How to Connect

1. In BigCommerce, go to Settings → API accounts → Create API account → Store API account.
2. Set scopes: Content: modify, Products: read-only, Information & Settings: read-only.
3. Save and copy the Access Token.
4. In Grandranker, open Integrations → BigCommerce and fill in:
   • Store Hash: the code in your API path, e.g. abc123 from api.bigcommerce.com/stores/abc123/v3/.
   • Access Token: from step 3.
   • Default Status: Draft or Published.
5. Click Test Connection, then Save & Connect.

Already connected on the Products page? The store hash pre-fills — leave Access Token blank to reuse it.

Publishing & Verifying

Articles publish with your default status. Scheduled articles from the Content Planner publish automatically.

To verify: publish one article, check it appears in your BigCommerce blog as draft/published. If Published, check the storefront blog URL.

Disconnect anytime from the integration page.

Troubleshooting

Test Connection fails

• Store Hash — the short code from the API path, not your store URL.
• Access Token — must be from a Store API account, shown once at creation. Lost it? Create a new one.
• Scopes must match step 2 — no Content: modify, no post creation.

Posts publish but don't show on my storefront

Draft stays hidden until published in the control panel. Headless storefronts don't render the built-in blog automatically.

The token stopped working

Deleting or regenerating the API account invalidates it. Create a fresh one with the same scopes and re-save.

I want to publish to a different store

Enter that store's Store Hash and matching Access Token — mismatched pairs fail the test.
