As stated, internet sellers rely on various e-commerce platforms to run their business. Among those is Bigcommerce, who hails from Austin, Texas. Bigcommerce stores offer the most extensive features for customization and a robust API to support applications such as esa Product Manager, which is the App you use to Import eBay Listings into Bigcommerce. To begin a Bigcommerce trial, go to this link: http://www.esaproductmanager.com/free-trial/ and select the Activate button for Bigcommerce. The window below will be shown:

Once you have logged in or created a new store, you are asked to install esa Product Manager, which is the app to use to export your eBay Listings into Bigcommerce. If this is your first Bigcommerce store, then you’ll have 15 days to evaluate for free before you decide. A very popular option, as of the last count, they claim to have over 100,000 online stores.

To proceed, you would press the Install and then the Confirm button on the second window (shown above). Once you’ve installed the App into your store, the App will open automatically and display the landing page menu. This menu is required by Bigcommerce, as most apps execute inside of their security panel. As eBay requires all apps not be inside any separate containers, we cannot execute inside this panel. Thus, the landing page lets the user know that he/she is about to exit the panel.

Finally, the next page opens up the full esa app to being your Manual Run.

To receive a full import on Bigcommerce, you must be a paying customer.
