"If you want ecommerce at scale, BigCommerce is your best bet"
Data migration seems to be smooth and the option to host multi-store front. It is also easier to integrate it with a visualization tool like Tableau.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Very straightforward dashboard layout, support community is helpful. Built in themes are decently designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Limited in design ability. For example, we had to hire a developer to add a sentence tp our checkout page. Product page layout is unable to be changed. 600 sku maximum. Limited in discounts we can offer to customers. For example, we can't do "buy any door, get a free door handle" type discounts. There are glitches on the backend with rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

If you are looking for an easy platform for a few simple products, this would be a good choice. If you have very complex products with many variations and customizations, this is not the platform for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

To be honest, we feel that bigcommerce is holding us back from expanding our business and we are thinking of switching platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

I love that BigCommerce is compatible with our sales platform, ShopKeep. By the click of a button, I can make my merchandise available on BigCommerce and it automatically imports the price and SKU onto our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

It is not that user friendly. It is hard to find something easily - you have to do a little digging to find what you need. It doesn’t have a lot of options to personalize your website, either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

Take time to really understand how to use BigCommerce before making your website live. It’s better to take more time to understand the mechanics of it beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

With BigCommerce, it is now SO easy to keep track of our inventory on both our sales platform in-store and on our website. BigCommece updates our inventory in real time every time a sale is made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

The software is a little bit broad, although I understand that you must take a wide approach to deliver a successful marketing campaign, I believe that a more focused approach would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are looking for a seamlessly integrated solution for driving brand growth, then BigCommerce should be your go to method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigCommerce offers you the tools and resources to easily and affordably start your own E Commerce business even with little or no previous experience. They cover every aspect from creating your domain to SEO assistance. Definitely a Game Changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

So Far I have been overall please with their service and haven't came across anything that has been concerning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I started my Business I knew absolutely nothing about E-Commerce so I quickly became overwhelmed with all the different aspects that go into running a successful business. I had a general Idea of what I wanted to do but Big Commerce really guided me through everything now my store has grown faster then I could have imagined and I don't think that would be the case had I not used BigCommerce.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Their customer support is top notch, if you have a problem they are more than willing to help out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Integration with Office365, is less than ideal. After switching to O365 for exchange, all of our order confirmation e-mails were getting black listed. This is due to a range of the IP's they use being black listed by SpamHaus. So I had to setup the MX and TXT records for demarc and use their mail server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

They offer a great service, and provide fantastic support to back it up. The main issue would be if you are using Office 365 for mail/exchange. If so, then you currently won't be able to use it to send order confirmation e-mails. If you try, they won't make it out, due to being black listed. But if you setup the MX and TXT records for your demarc, then you can use their mail server and everything seems to work just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

When sending out order e-mails through the O365 mail server, they get bounce backs because of a IP blacklisting. But going through their mail server there is no problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from John Yarbrough of BigCommerce

Hi Jeff, Thank you for the kind comments about our customer support team, and we appreciate you taking the time to write a review.

Sorry to hear that the integration experience with Office 365 wasn't quite what you expected. In case it's helpful, you can find more information about using third-party email providers in conjunction with BigCommerce here: https://support.bigcommerce.com/articles/Public/Third-Party-Email-Hosting

This is a very easy program to use. We can have people with minimal training using it very quickly. Very intuitive and easy on the eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

There are occasional issues with the software, but they generally work to resolve the issues in a reasonable amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to have an older website that did not manage our inventory or offer online sales. The companies who went on like that aren't around anymore, we are still business because of BigCommerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They never supported my contact us box from being bombarded with spam I just had it turned off as they saw no solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

As the title implies we love big commerce. Out of the box it is so much more feature rich than some of its competitors, its direct competitor being Shopify which is paltry in comparison to the big c without plugins out of the box. Big commerce also has a great customer service that is available at all times. Another huge positive is how scalable and customizable it is with its great AppStore that has lots of options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Unfortunately Shopify is still more popular than bigcomerce so we ran into issues of some apps we needed on our store not being available on Bigcommerce and were forced to for alternatives. Be aware that bigcommerce costs a pretty penny too especially on the enterprise package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

Check the plugins and App Store first, your favorite Shopify plugin might not be there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

To host our online store and manage our inventory and sell online to our many customers. We realized what a great hosting and platform bigc is! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
