If your BigCommerce store had already been connected to an Ortto account, then this step may already indicate this existing connection (with a link to this Ortto account), and the button will indicate Reconnect instead of Connect. -
The Ortto Accounts page appears, from which you should click the Ortto account (also known as an 'Ortto instance') to integrate with your WooCommerce / WordPress site.
There may only be one of these. However, if you have created multiple Ortto accounts with the same sign-in credentials, then each of these Ortto accounts will appear on this page. -
On the Merge page, select the appropriate strategy by which people’s and organizations' data are merged from Salesforce into your Ortto’s CDP.

Once the Syncing your data page appears, click Done.

Return to your BigCommerce store page, and confirm that Step 1: Connect your account now indicates that you are connected to your Ortto’s Business name; you may need to refresh the page to see this.
The Business name is a hyperlink that opens your Ortto account when clicked. -
Further down the page in Step 2: Consent to enable website tracking script, it is highly recommended that you select the Enable tracking checkbox to provide a more effective integration experience between your BigCommerce store and Ortto.
