Commerce platform
BigCommerce
Two lines of Stencil, one catalogue import.
BigCommerce has no app block for third-party UGC widgets, so the install is a script tag in the Stencil footer and a placeholder div. Catalogue comes in by CSV or feed. Order webhooks are on the integration roadmap.
- Connects in
- Stencil theme files plus a catalogue import
- Catalogue
- CSV export or a feed URL on a re-sync schedule
- Orders
- Planned (plan F9)
What works today, and what is still being built.
Galleries, tagging, rights and click analytics are live. There is no BigCommerce app yet; catalogue and orders are where the integration is still manual or pending.

Galleries via Stencil
Loader in templates/components/common/footer.html, placeholder in home.html or product.html with data-filter-pid.
- Live
Catalogue by CSV or feed
The BigCommerce product export maps directly; a Google Shopping feed URL keeps prices and stock current.
- Live
Product tagging and click tracking
AI tagging runs against the imported catalogue; clicks attribute per widget and post.
- Live
Rights and moderation
Platform independent.
- Planned
BigCommerce app with API catalogue sync
Replaces the CSV step with a Storefront API sync. Scheduled with the order webhook.
- Planned
Order webhook attribution
Plan F9, after the WooCommerce webhook. Until then analytics stop at add-to-cart intent.
Set it up.
Where it lives in the dashboard: Products, Import (catalogue) and the Stencil theme editor.
Before you start
- Store owner or a user with theme-file access
- A product export CSV or a feed URL
- Step 1
Import the catalogue
Products, Export in BigCommerce, then Products, Import in Idukki. Map SKU, name, price, image and URL; or paste a feed URL and set a re-sync schedule.
- Step 2
Connect a source and approve posts
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or reviews. Run AI tagging on the approved batch.
- Step 3
Add the loader to the footer template
Edit Theme Files, open the footer template, paste the script tag before the closing body tag.
- Step 4
Place the placeholder div
home.html for a homepage gallery; product.html with data-filter-pid="{{product.id}}" for a product-page gallery.
- Step 5
Publish the theme and verify
Open the embed page in Idukki and wait for the install check to turn green.
The questions to ask before you connect it.
Is there a BigCommerce app in the marketplace?
Not yet. The install is a script tag in the Stencil theme, which takes about as long as an app install and does not depend on the theme supporting app blocks.
Does it work with multi-storefront?
Yes. Each storefront gets its own placeholder; one Idukki workspace serves all of them.
Can I attribute orders to posts?
Not yet. Attribution needs the platform to tell Idukki when an order happens. The BigCommerce webhook is scheduled after WooCommerce.
Go deeper
On BigCommerce and quoted three weeks of theme work?
The gallery is two lines of Stencil. Spend the afternoon on the catalogue import and the first fifty approvals instead.
