BigCommerce - Loops

Send every BigCommerce event to Loops, server-side

Q: What permissions does the Loops API key need?

The key must have permission to write events and contacts, so Upstack can send events and create or update contacts.

Q: Which events does Loops receive?

ViewContent as Viewed Product, AddToCart as Added to Cart, InitiateCheckout as Started Checkout and Purchase as Placed Order.

Q: Which customer parameters are sent to Loops?

When Upstack identifies a visitor, it attaches the contact’s email and other known properties, and syncs profile properties including name, email and location to Loops.

Q: How do I check that BigCommerce events are reaching Loops?

Trigger a test action on your store, such as viewing a product or adding to cart, and check Events in Loops. In Upstack, the Real-Time Events feed under System, Events Manager shows the events as delivered to Loops.

Q: How long does it take to connect BigCommerce to Loops?

Most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Once BigCommerce is connected, every destination receives the same resolved events, Loops included.

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches Loops, so records and reporting reflect the person, not the device.

How it flows

How a BigCommerce event reaches Loops. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.

01 Capture

Captured from BigCommerce

Server-side capture of BigCommerce storefront and checkout events, resolved and forwarded downstream.

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every BigCommerce event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

How resolution works

Resolved before it is sent

IdentityMatched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer.
customer_typeNew or returning, resolved before send.
DeduplicationOne person, one record, across devices and identifiers.
Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never becomes a contact.

A CRM is only as trustworthy as its worst duplicate. These controls exist so the record reflects the person.

Which events reach Loops

Each Upstack event is mapped to the Loops event below before it is sent.

Upstack event	Sent to Loops as	Key data on the event
Product view	Viewed Product	ProductName, ProductID, Price, ImageURL
Add to cart	Added to Cart	ProductName, ProductID, Price, Quantity, CartValue
Checkout	Started Checkout	CartValue, ItemCount, CheckoutURL
Purchase	Placed Order	OrderID, Revenue, Items, DiscountCodes

When Upstack identifies a visitor, it attaches the contact’s email and other known properties, and syncs profile properties including name, email and location to Loops.

The catch

Multi-storefront BigCommerce accounts produce overlapping customer IDs across stores, which merge badly in a CRM unless resolved first.

What changes

What changes when BigCommerce feeds Loops. Two gains on the Loops side, two on the BigCommerce side.

Loops

Server-side delivery

Upstack sends events to Loops from its servers only, so ad blockers and browser privacy settings can’t block delivery.

Loops

Identity-resolved events

Events sent to Loops carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.

BigCommerce

Every event, server-side

Storefront and checkout events are captured from BigCommerce on the server, independent of the browser.

BigCommerce

One setup, every destination

Connect BigCommerce once and forward to every ad platform, email tool and warehouse you run.
