## Project Objective Seeking an experienced developer skilled in API integrations and e-commerce to build a fully automated dropshipping website integrated with BigBuy via their official API, bypassing the official WooCommerce connector's 30,000 product limit per store. The goal is to leverage BigBuy's API for handling a massive catalog (hundreds of thousands of products), with custom pricing rules, real-time stock sync, and seamless order fulfillment.[1][6][11] ## Key Technical Requirements - Direct integration with BigBuy APIs for catalog, stock, orders, shipping costs, and tracking.[6][11] - Preferred platform: WooCommerce (optimized for large catalogs) or custom solution (PHP/Laravel, Node.js), ensuring scalability and performance.[2][1] - Product import and sync exceeding the 30k limit via pagination, incremental updates, and queue management to avoid server overload.[4][6] - Full handling of variants, categories, attributes, images, and multilingual descriptions per BigBuy's data structure.[11][6] ## Pricing and Markup Management Implement a flexible pricing engine allowing: - Custom markups on wholesale prices by price tiers, categories, or individual SKUs.[12][6] - Differential margins for strategic items (e.g., loss leaders, promotions, bundles).[13][12] - Option to lock custom prices, excluding them from auto-updates when needed.[14][12] - Final price calculation including VAT, channel fees, and partial shipping costs.[7][6] ## Catalog, Stock, and Order Handling Developer must deliver: - Selective product import from BigBuy (by category, SKU, or lists/CSV) to curate the catalog efficiently.[15][11] - Near real-time stock and availability sync to minimize overselling.[1][6] - Automated order submission to BigBuy API, with status retrieval, shipment tracking, and returns management.[16][6][11] - Optimized database structure for high volumes (proper indexing, sync queues, potential product DB separation).[8][17] ## Why Avoid the Standard Connector The official BigBuy WooCommerce connector caps at ~30,000 products and relies on their Multi-Channel Integration Platform, limiting flexibility. This project demands a superior API-direct approach for:[18][4][1] - Unlimited catalog scale with custom selection logic. - Full control over pricing, margins, and updates. - High-performance, future-proof architecture.[17][6] Ideal freelancer has prior BigBuy API experience, handles large-catalog performance challenges, and recommends optimal setup based on hosting and sales goals.[6] Fonti [1] Dropship with your WooCommerce online store - BigBuy https://www.bigbuy.eu/en/dropshipping-woocommerce.html [2] How to Synchronise WooCommerce - BigBuy Academy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-to-synchronise-woocommerce-via-the-multi-channel-integration-platform/ [3] How do you obtain API access? - BigBuy Academy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-do-you-obtain-api-access/ [4] WooCommerce Connector: Complete Guide - BigBuy Academy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/conector-woocommerce-complete-guide/ [5] How to configure the BigBuy Prestashop Dropshipping Connector ... https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-to-configure-the-bigbuy-prestashop-dropshipping-connector-module-in-a-dropshipping-360o-store/ [6] BigBuy API for developers and programmers https://www.bigbuy.eu/en/api_bigbuy.html [7] How to apply free shipping on ecommerce from the Multi-channel ... https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-to-apply-free-shipping-on-ecommerce-from-the-multi-channel-integration-platform/ [8] Server requirements for synchronising Woocommerce with Multi ... https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/server-requirements-for-synchronising-woocommerce-with-multi-channel-integration-platform/ [9] BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce - WordPress https://mn.wordpress.org/plugins/bigbuy-wc-dropshipping-connector/ [10] Valid and recommended server for WooCommerce and PrestaShop https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/servidor-valido-y-recomendado-woocommerce-y-prestashop/ [11] [PDF] User guide - BigBuy API https://www.bigbuy.eu/public/doc/Guia_API_BigBuy_EN.pdf [12] How do price rules work? - BigBuy Academy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/price-rules-work/ [13] How to create offers in marketplaces using Price Update - BigBuy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-to-create-offers-in-marketplaces-using-price-update/ [14] How do I confirm the price of products on each sales channel - BigBuy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-do-i-confirm-the-price-of-items-on-each-sales-channel/ [15] How to manage product selection through the Multi-Channel ... https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/how-to-manage-the-inclusion-and-exclusion-of-products-through-the-multi-channel-integration-platform/ [16] Shipping Methods Available at BigBuy https://www.bigbuy.eu/academy/en/types-of-shipping-available-on-bigbuy/ [17] Technological solutions for dropshipping and wholesale - BigBuy https://www.bigbuy.eu/en/technology-dropshipping-wholesale-purchasing.html [18] BigBuy Dropshipping Connector for WooCommerce Plugin https://wordpress.com/plugins/bigbuy-wc-dropshipping-connector I run an electronics-focused WooCommerce store and need it fully synchronised with BigBuy, covering the entire flow—inventory, pricing, and orders—so I can stop handling these tasks by hand. Here’s what has to happen: • Inventory management – stock levels on my site must mirror BigBuy in near-real time, pausing products automatically if they sell out at the supplier. • Price updates – BigBuy price changes (including tier or promo prices) should push straight through to WooCommerce without me touching a spreadsheet. • Order processing – when a customer places an order, the data must shoot over to BigBuy, get confirmed, and then return tracking details to WooCommerce so customers see them in their account emails. I’m already on WooCommerce (not Shopify or Magento) and want the solution packaged as a clean plugin or custom code that survives core updates. API keys and access to the admin panel are ready the moment we start. Success is simple: the stock and price feeds stay accurate, orders travel to BigBuy automatically, and tracking numbers come back into WooCommerce without errors. If you know the BigBuy API inside out and can write robust, documented code, let’s talk.
