Out of the box BigCommerce gives you a Sandbox store, but that Sandbox sits in a vacuum. It does not mirror your production catalogue, it has no Git-driven deploy pipeline into your live theme, and there is no one-click way to roll a bad change back. StagingPro fixes all three. If you operate a BigCommerce store and you want to test a theme update, validate a price-list change, migrate data entities between stores without crossing your fingers when you click Publish, StagingPro is the safety net that sits between your developers and your live store. ## What StagingPro does StagingPro provisions cloud-hosted staging, UAT, and integration environments linked to your production BigCommerce store, then gives you four operational surfaces on top of them: 1. **Bulk Content Migration**, copy your entire catalogue (products, categories, brands, promotions, customers, orders, themes, pages, layouts, metafields, locale data) from production into a sandbox in one operation. 2. **Selective Content Migration**, move a single product, a specific promotion, a category, a custom page, or a page template between environments. Use it for surgical updates and last-mile content syncs. 3. **Code Deployment**, connect GitHub, push theme changes through a pull-request workflow with preview URLs, approval, and rollback. Deploys run through a Stencil bundle pipeline that targets the correct BigCommerce channel. 4. **History and Rollback**, full audit trail of every migration and deployment with one-click rollback themes. ## Who StagingPro is for | Profile | Why StagingPro fits | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Store owners** | Need a way to test theme tweaks, and promotional changes without breaking the live storefront. | | **In-house developers** | Need a Git-driven deploy pipeline into BigCommerce with PR review, preview URLs, and rollback rather than uploading theme zip files manually. | | **Agencies** | Need to manage multiple client environments, multiple developers per client, and run parallel work streams across Staging, UAT, and Integration without stepping on each other. | ## How StagingPro fits in the Vortex IQ AI OS StagingPro is one of the seven [Vortex Apps](/vortex-apps/overview). It is the BigCommerce-specific counterpart to [Vortex Staging](/vortex-apps/vortex-staging) (Shopify) and [DryRunPro](/vortex-apps/dryrunpro) (Adobe Commerce / Magento). Pair it with [RollbackPro](/vortex-apps/rollback-pro) for continuous BigCommerce backup and one-click restore of individual records. It cross-links into the rest of the AI OS: * [**Nerve Centre BigCommerce cards**](/integrations/connector-catalogue) surface KPIs (sessions, conversion, AOV, cart abandonment) that you can compare before and after a staging push to verify the change did not regress performance. * **[Vortex Mind](/vortex-mind/overview) reports** such as Daily Revenue Leakage and Checkout Conversion Failure flag failure modes that often originate in a botched theme deploy or a price-list migration. StagingPro is the surface where you fix them safely. * **[Actions](/actions/overview) findings** related to BigCommerce theme regressions or catalogue drift route the merchant into the relevant StagingPro screen. * [**Ask Viq**](/ask-viq/overview) can answer "did the last StagingPro deploy succeed?" and "what changed between Production and Staging?" by reading StagingPro state. ## For developers StagingPro has its own REST API, separate from the AI OS platform API, for teams that want to trigger migrations, deployments, and rollbacks programmatically rather than through the UI. The [StagingPro V2 Migration API reference](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/api/overview) documents the full BC Migration control plane - stores, channel mapping, migrations, run controls, counts and forecasts - with an interactive playground on every endpoint. For the classic REST API, start with the [step-by-step tutorial](https://stagingpro.apimatic.dev/#/rest/step-by-step-tutorial), which covers authentication and your first API call. ## Pages in this section | Page | Covers | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [Features and benefits](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/features-and-benefits) | Capability matrix by user profile (store owner, developer, agency) | | [Setup and onboarding](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/setup-and-onboarding) | Install, plan environments, link sandbox to production, first migration | | [Understanding the homepage](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/understanding-the-homepage) | Environment list, status, view store, control panel, migration progress | | [Bulk content migration](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/bulk-content-migration) | Full-catalogue migration with parallel processing and resumability | | [Selective content migration](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/selective-content-migration) | Move individual products, promotions, categories, pages, layouts | | [Selective product migration](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/selective-product-migration) | Field-by-field product migration mechanics, update mode, complex rules, locale | | [History and rollback](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/history-and-rollback) | Audit trail, data rollback, theme rollback, scheduled migrations | | [GitHub](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/github-and-bitbucket) | Repository connection, branch model, deployment workflow | | [Notifications, email, Slack, Teams](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/notifications-email-slack-teams) | Set up deployment and migration alerts across three channels | | [B2B, coupons, and data dependencies](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/b2b-coupons-and-data) | B2B Edition staging, promotion rules, data type reference | | [Settings and scheduling](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/settings-and-scheduling) | Settings tabs, agency access, scheduled migrations | | [FAQs and known issues](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/faqs-and-known-issues) | Common questions, BigCommerce API limits, roadmap | | [API Reference](/vortex-apps/staging-pro/api/overview) | V2 Migration API - stores, channel mapping, migrations, controls, counts and forecasts |
