Send every BigCommerce event to Omnisend, server-side

Upstack marks the destination Healthy, and Audience or Reports in Omnisend shows contacts and events from Upstack Data, typically within a few minutes of a test purchase or page view.

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

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

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches Omnisend, so flows trigger on a known profile rather than an anonymous session.

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 order produces one event, so a single purchase cannot trigger the same flow twice.
Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never becomes a profile, so list quality and deliverability are not paying for it.

Messaging mistakes are expensive and public. These controls exist so a flow never fires against a profile that should not have received it.

The catch

Storefront browse events and the hosted checkout are effectively two contexts.

Without resolution the same shopper appears in each as a different person.
