Why Validate BigCommerce Exports?

Export Template Variations

BigCommerce allows custom export templates with different column sets. Before converting to QuickBooks or NetSuite, validate that your template includes all required fields: order_id, customer_email, date_created, total.

What Gets Validated

This tool checks your BigCommerce export against expected schema: - Required columns exist (order_id, customer_email, date_created) - Valid order status values - Numeric amounts (no currency symbols) - Valid date formats - Customer email format - Non-zero quantities for line items

Common Target Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them

Missing Order ID

The 'order_id' column is required for order identification

(blank order_id)
1001

Order ID is auto-generated; ensure export includes ID column

Re-export from BigCommerce with ID column included

Invalid Order Status

Order status not in recognized values

status: 'Delivered' (invalid)
status: 'Completed' (valid)

BigCommerce uses specific status values

Valid statuses: Pending, Awaiting Payment, Awaiting Fulfillment, Shipped, Completed, Cancelled

Invalid Customer Email

Customer email format is invalid

email: 'invalid-email' (no @)
email: 'customer@example.com'

Email must be valid format with @ and domain

Verify customer email addresses in BigCommerce

Negative Order Total

Order total is negative (unusual for forward sales)

order_total: -100.00
order_total: 100.00

Check for data export errors or refund orders

Refunds should be handled separately, not as negative orders

Zero or Negative Quantity

Line item quantity is zero or negative

quantity: 0
quantity: 1

Quantity must be positive integer

Check product quantities in order details

Invalid Date Format

Date created is not in valid datetime format

date_created: 'INVALID-DATE'
date_created: '2025-01-15 14:30:00'

Date must be YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format

Ensure BigCommerce export includes proper date format

Frequently Asked Questions

It validates against BigCommerce's standard order export schema: required columns (order_id, customer_email, date_created, total), valid order statuses, numeric amounts without currency symbols, valid date formats, and email format. Also checks for zero quantities and negative totals.
No, this is a validator only. It identifies errors and tells you which rows have problems. You need to fix the data in BigCommerce (or edit the CSV manually), then re-export and re-validate.
The validator checks for minimum required columns. If your custom template doesn't include order_id, customer_email, or date_created, validation will fail. Add those columns to your BigCommerce export template.
Yes, that's the recommended workflow. Validate your BigCommerce export first, fix any errors, then use our converter tools to transform to QuickBooks format. This prevents conversion failures.
