BigCommerce API – Now Rolling Out

Published on November 9th, 2011 by Chris Iona

Hi everyone.

It’s been a while since I posted on our blog, so what better opportunity than to announce that we’ve begun the rollout of the new BigCommerce API to stores running 7.2 or above. We also have a dedicated developer channel for it at https://developer.bigcommerce.com

I also wanted to thank the Beta Test Group for their amazing support and feedback. I’ll be sending you all a very short survey tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that.

Status.BigCommerce.com Now Live – Real Time Updates Regarding Service Status

Published on November 1st, 2011 by Mitchell Harper

Hi everyone. Just a quick post to let you know that our new real-time service status page is now live at http://status.bigcommerce.com. Any interruption to the BigCommerce service will be listed here along with real-time updates as the interruption is resolved by our technical operations system.

The new status page provides a single point of access to all service-related activity and any and all interruptions to availability will be documented here. To keep everything in a single source, we will no longer be posting service interruptions to Facebook or Twitter, so please make sure you bookmark the new status page. A link to the status page is also available from the menu on the left side of our support portal.

Of course our ultimate goal is to minimize service interruptions, however unfortunately downtime does occur and it’s important that when it does, we’re able to provide you with as much information as quickly as possible. Our first core value is “be honest always” and our new status page really is an extension of that. Trust, transparency and detailed information. All updated in real time.
