No visibility on failures
When a delivery fails, you have no way to see what was sent, what your endpoint returned, or when the next retry will happen.

THE PROBLEM
Webhook delivery is fragile by default.
BigCommerce retries failed webhooks for up to 48 hours — but gives you no insight into what happened, no way to trigger a retry yourself, and no audit trail once the window closes. For merchants running order sync, fulfillment, inventory updates, or third-party automations, that gap can mean missed orders, double-charged customers, or out-of-sync data.
No manual retry
You cannot trigger a retry yourself. You are stuck waiting for the platform's retry window, and once it closes, the event is gone.
Webhooks silently deactivated
Repeated delivery failures cause BigCommerce to automatically deactivate your webhook subscriptions, cutting off events with no warning.
No long-term event history
Once the platform's retry window closes, the event record disappears. There is no way to look back, audit, or replay events from weeks ago.
HOW IT WORKS
Up and running in three steps.

Your Endpoints
API · Zapier · Make
01
Install from BigCommerce App Marketplace
Add Webhook Guard from the BigCommerce App Marketplace. It installs directly into your store control panel — no separate accounts or external logins.
02
Create your integrations
Add the endpoint URLs you want events forwarded to. Set custom authentication headers per integration. Choose which webhook topics to subscribe to.
03
Monitor and recover
Watch deliveries arrive in real time. When something fails, retry it with one click — or let automatic retries handle it. Full payload history kept for 90 days.
THE DASHBOARD
See every webhook, in real time.
Every delivery attempt is logged with its full request, response status, and timing. Filter by status, inspect payloads, and retry with one click. Search any event by order ID, topic, delivery status, or integration.

One-Click Manual Retry
Retry any failed event individually or select multiple events for bulk retry directly from the event log.

FAQ
Common questions.
Does Webhook Guard replace BigCommerce webhooks?
No. It sits between BigCommerce and your integrations, adding monitoring, retries, and history. Your existing webhook subscriptions keep working — Webhook Guard just makes them reliable.
How long are events stored?
Every webhook delivery attempt is kept for 90 days, including the full request payload and response details.
Can I retry failed deliveries?
Yes. Failed events are retried automatically with exponential backoff. You can also trigger a manual retry for any event at any time from the event log.
Can I send webhooks to multiple endpoints?
Yes. Each integration can forward to as many endpoints as you need. Every destination is logged and retried independently.
Do I need to change my existing integrations?
No. Point your existing endpoint URLs at Webhook Guard and it handles delivery from there. No changes needed on the receiving side.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can get started for free with no credit card required. Paid plans unlock higher event volumes and longer history retention.
