When you plan a BigCommerce sync, budget 20,000 requests per hour per store total, not per credential. Multiple integrations on the same store share the pool, so coordinate or stagger them. Page tightly and cache product data instead of re-pulling, since one chatty integration can starve the others.

Context: Stack Overflow #17971576 (accepted answer, 4 votes): the asker worried about pulling 20k+ orders. Per BigCommerce support, the 20,000 requests per hour limit applies per store and is shared across all API credentials for that store.
