Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't I see "Start Free Trial" at plugin install?
When the Shopgate App is installed from your BigCommerce App Store, your 14-day free trial will be initiated as soon as you click Start Free Trial.
If you have already started a trial or you are logged in at Shopgate before installing the app, the screen "Start Free Trial" will not show again.
Is it possible to apply BigCommerce's Option Set Rules in my mobile shop?
Yes! The Shopgate technology can import the Option Set Rules from your BigCommerce backend to your mobile shop. However, since the Option Set Rules cannot be reached through BigCommerce's API*, we will need access to your BigCommerce backend.
To do so, please log into your Shopgate Admin and enter a username and password to your BigCommerce backend under Integration → Shop Interface → Actions → Edit. Please note that this will only work if your shop has a valid SSL certificate.
* According to BigCommerce, Option Set Rules are likely to be replaced in the near future.
How do I update the Shopgate app?
You do not need to update an existing Shopgate app - we will update the app automatically for you.
