A stable order identity
Every order coming from BigCommerce keeps a stable external identifier and idempotency key. A replayed webhook or API call must never create a second order. This also protects retries after timeouts or network errors.
Fulfillment Nutra
Connect BigCommerce to private-label supplement fulfillment with APIs/webhooks, SKU mapping, paid-order validation, tracking and recovery — Shopify is optional.

Direct answer
BigCommerce can connect to the Channel Hub when official or documented access, the source account or system, permissions and required data are available. Store hash, scopes, order events and variant mapping must be validated before activation. Shopify is not a dependency: activation follows the real protocol and requires an end-to-end test without a real customer order.

Order created, payment confirmed, preparation, shipment, cancellation and refund remain separate facts. The BigCommerce connection must translate those states without treating a commercial status change as automatic proof of a logistics event.
Fulfillment Nutra can receive orders from a documented channel without forcing Shopify in the middle. For BigCommerce, feasibility depends on the protocol actually available: API, webhook, IPN, export or secure automation. The source system can remain the owner of checkout and customer relationship.
Fulfillment must not be released from an ambiguous event. The BigCommerce connection defines which event or authority proves that the order is actually payable or paid and how pending, authorized, failed, cancelled or refunded states are handled.
A mature integration does not stop at order import. When BigCommerce supports it, tracking and useful statuses flow back to the channel. Invalid address, unknown SKU, unavailable inventory or carrier errors should create explicit states rather than silence.
API access, catalog visibility and channel authorization are three separate things. BigCommerce may apply its own rules while the product, label, claims and destination remain subject to market obligations.
