What

Boilerplate serverless function to enable backorder functionality for products with 0 inventory.

What does this application do?

The application is using BigCommerce webhooks to send Inventory data whenever a inventory has updated to a serverless function to determine if the product should accept back orders.

Running the project

To get started you will need to have a BigCommerce Store.

You will need to have +v10 node.

You will need Serverless

In this example the serverless.yml is configured for AWS.
https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/installation/

You can easily update the yml for your desired FAAS providers

You will need to generate BigCommerce API keys, these keys need to have read permissions for products.

In the serverless.yml file update the environment with your site API Keys

environment:
  STORE_HASH: {YOUR STORE HASH}
  BC_CLIENT: {YOUR CLIENT ID}
  BC_TOKEN: {YOUR TOKEN ID}

Now run to set up

npm install

Now you're ready to deploy

cd inventoryManager
sls deploy

You will get an API endpoint back, you will use this when you set up your webhook.

endpoints:
  POST - https://{XXXXXX}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/invetoryManager

Now in postman create the webhook to send order created to endpoints https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api-docs/getting-started/webhooks/webhook-events#orders

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{STORE HASH}/v2/hooks' \
--header 'X-Auth-Client: XXXXX' \
--header 'X-Auth-Token: YYYYYY' \
--data-raw '{
 "scope": "store/product/*",
 "destination": "https://ZZZZZ.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/invetoryManager",
 "is_active": true
}'
