Every ecommerce platform lets you make changes. None of them give you a reliable undo button. A bulk price import with a wrong column mapping, a contractor who edited the wrong product, a promotion that corrupted on migration — these are the everyday accidents that RollbackPro, Vortex Backup, and DryRunPro are built to recover from. Continuous backup runs in the background so you always have a recovery path, regardless of who changed what.
A confirmed rollback is irreversible for the records it targets. Before clicking Restore, use the side-by-side version comparison to verify that the version you are restoring is the correct one. Items already processed during a bulk or point-in-time rollback retain their restored state even if you cancel.

RollbackPro

RollbackPro gives BigCommerce merchants something the platform itself does not: a real undo button. It continuously backs up your store and lets you restore any record — or an entire entity type — to any earlier version with a single click.

How continuous backup works

Backup runs in two modes depending on what BigCommerce exposes:Real-time backup listens to BigCommerce webhooks and captures changes as they happen. Entities covered by real-time backup:
  • Products, categories, customers
  • Channels, pages, email templates
  • Orders (backed up for version history only — not restorable)
Manual and scheduled backup covers entities BigCommerce does not expose webhooks for:
  • Brands, coupons, promotions, blog posts, 301 redirects, gift certificates
Trigger a manual backup from Settings before any major change to these entities, or configure a scheduled backup to capture them at regular intervals automatically. Every change captured creates a new version, so you can scroll back through prior states and restore to whichever was the last good one.

What is backed up

RollbackPro captures 14 BigCommerce entity types with their full field sets, including:
Core fields (name, SKU, type, description, all pricing tiers, weight, dimensions, inventory, availability, condition, SEO and Open Graph fields, custom URL). Sub-entities: custom fields, bulk pricing rules, videos, images, options, modifiers, variants, reviews, and channel assignments.
Categories (hierarchy, sort rules, SEO fields, image). Brands (name, SEO fields, custom URL). Customers (profiles, all addresses, form fields, store credit, channel associations, attributes).
Coupons (discount rules, usage limits, restrictions, expiry). Promotions (rules, conditions, schedule, channel targeting, notifications, shipping addresses). Email templates (subject, body, and translations per locale).
Pages (HTML body, SEO fields, channel association, visibility). Blog posts (content, tags, SEO fields, thumbnail). Channels (name, status, visibility). 301 Redirects (source path and destination). Gift certificates (balance, status, recipient details, expiry).
Orders cannot be restored. BigCommerce orders cannot be deleted, and restoring them could trigger customer notification emails. Order versions appear in the Restore Center for comparison and reference only.

Rolling back a change

1

Open the Restore Center

Navigate to the Restore Center tab in RollbackPro. Three filters let you narrow the grid: a full-text search across all entity fields, a date picker (presets include Today, 7 days, 30 days, 12 months, All Time, or a custom range), and a content type filter to isolate one entity type at a time.
2

Find the record

Search for the product name, SKU, customer email, or any other field value. The grid shows the ID, name, price, date modified, date created, and version number for each matching record.
3

Compare versions

Click Preview on a row. The side-by-side comparison opens in Summary view (human-readable field comparison) or Source Code view (raw JSON diff). Use the version dropdown to scroll through every tracked version and pick the one you want to restore.
4

Restore the record

Click Restore to this version. For a single record, the restore completes in seconds. The record is updated to match the stored version if it exists, or recreated if it was deleted.

Bulk and point-in-time rollback

For larger accidents, two additional rollback modes are available:Bulk rollback — select multiple records in the Restore Center grid and restore them in one orchestrated operation. The platform processes records in parallel batches with built-in API rate limiting, automatic retry for transient errors, real-time progress tracking, and cancellation at any point.Point-in-time rollback — restore an entire entity type (for example, all Products) to its state at a specific date and time. RollbackPro automatically discovers all records of that type modified at or before the target date and restores them in parallel batches. Use this after a bad CSV import that overwrote prices or descriptions across hundreds of products.
