The Corma integration for BigCommerce brings BigCommerce accounts under Corma's access governance: IT knows who can reach product catalogs, customer data, orders and payment workflows, and removes that access when people change roles or leave. BigCommerce is a cloud-based eCommerce platform that enables businesses to build, manage and scale online stores. It provides tools for product management, order processing, payments and integrations with marketplaces and third-party applications.
Where does BigCommerce access management go wrong without integration?
As BigCommerce adoption grows, access spreads across marketing, operations, finance and development teams. That access comes with control over product catalogs, customer data, orders and payment workflows, which makes BigCommerce a critical platform to manage under centralized identity governance.
- Complex setup and maintenance: custom API integrations require authentication handling, role mapping and continuous updates whenever BigCommerce evolves, which creates ongoing IT overhead.
- Permissions accumulating unnecessarily: without synchronization with HR systems, users may keep access to store operations, customer data and order workflows beyond their role or after they leave.
- Former employees retaining active accounts: manual offboarding can leave ex-employees with access to store management, orders and sensitive customer data.
- Security and data handling risks multiply: disconnected systems make over-permissioned accounts and unauthorized access to eCommerce operations and customer information more likely.
- No visibility into actual usage: without insight into which BigCommerce accounts are actively used, it is hard to optimize licenses and reduce unnecessary costs.
How Corma automates BigCommerce access control
- The right access on day one: Corma provisions BigCommerce accounts from HR and identity data through automated provisioning, so each employee gets the access that matches their role.
- Automated offboarding: when an employee leaves, Corma revokes their BigCommerce access, which prevents orphaned accounts and protects store and customer data.
- Permissions that reflect current roles: role-based templates keep BigCommerce permissions aligned with each employee's current responsibilities and avoid over-provisioning.
- A record of every access change: provisioning, updates and deactivations are logged, which creates audit-ready records for GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and internal compliance standards.
- Live visibility into BigCommerce access: Corma's dashboard brings together HR data, identity profiles, active accounts, store access and usage metrics, so teams can spot dormant accounts, permission mismatches and unused licenses.

Frequently asked questions
How does Corma connect to BigCommerce?
Once BigCommerce and your identity provider are connected, Corma starts syncing access data and applies your provisioning and offboarding rules to BigCommerce accounts.
Does our team need specialist knowledge to implement this?
No. Corma's pre-built connectors make implementation simple, without specialized expertise or external consultants.
How is employee data kept secure during the BigCommerce integration?
Corma encrypts all data in transit and at rest, requests only the minimum permissions necessary and lets you revoke access at any time. All data is hosted on AWS in data centers inside the European Union, and Corma is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified.
