Welcome to a recap of what’s trending in the BigCommerce Developer Community. Every other week, we’ll take a look at the discussions happening. You’ll see our most popular and insightful conversations, along with questions that could use your expertise or helpful advice.

This week, the BigCommerce Developer Community discussed API call request origins, Stencil object access, and translating error messages that aren’t in the language files. We also saw multiple discussions about our Server to Server and Storefront APIs and using them effectively.
