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?

The support has been so wonderful! Everyone we chat with is kind, helpful, quick and ready with more documentation to help us understand the product better. Most of our company is not computer savvy people and changing our entire website, email, ordering and shipping process recently has made for lots and lots of questions and help needed. We could not be happier with our choice to go with BigCommerce purely for their support alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

You do not have as much freedom with changing the themes and templates but, you can work with a developer to make changes that are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

easy shopping experience for our customers and better functionality of online promotions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

In general it's good for getting off the ground with Ecommerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Whatever you save compared to other Ecommerce sites you pay for in add ons that bigcommerce doesn't include out of the box. The reporting is a joke and then you can pay more to get "insights" which are also useless. Setting up new channels like Amazon and Facebook never goes smoothly and ends up being a frustrating time suck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our big reason for switching to bigcommerce was to have almost 100% up time. That has been pretty nice to not have to worry about, except for that one time payments went working and they didn't warn anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Cloud based environment makes it easy for non technical people to manage. Licensing is cheaper than equivalent systems (like Magento 2 Cloud) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Hard to create custom functionality. API is not as robust as needed to create complicated business functions (for example, there is a lack of usable hooks for things like cart functions, and order functions). Many functions need to be done through front end Javascript coding, which isn't suited for normal front end developers. And 3rd party vendor support for extensions can get expensive on a recurring basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

If you have very specific, unique business processes, do good due diligence to make sure you can actually accomplish them with either a 3rd party vendor 9make sure it's worth the cost) or with custom coding. We ran into this issue with one store, after transitioning multiple stores to BigCommerce, that prevented transitioning that store for almost a year while a solution was implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BigCommerce provided a cost savings on licensing over a Magento 2 Enterprise license. The company wanted to reduce licensing expense and also backend developer headcount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t receive emails regularly when orders are placed so fulfilling the orders can be delayed at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are utilizing the system for internal office apparel orders. We have 250+ employees so it is convenient for them to order in the office or in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Easy marketing, product placement and easy value fields to change for group products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

The price randomly fluctuates and raises leaving you to pay more out of nowhere or completely lose everything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

Look at pricing over 5 years with other websites. If you can afford to not budget for this and have the prices raise every month and year then this is halfway decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm no longer using it. The price gouging hurt badly and forced my 5 years of business to creating our own website with WordPress 100% free of monthly fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

big commerce has amazing customisation options, and if you know a bit of code (or hire a programmer), you can really take it to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

it's a bit cumbersome to learn everything at first, but you get used to it after awhile. I don't recommend it for small businesses, as the cost of the plans really only make sense for m/l ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

big commerce is easier than WordPress for an online shop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

The variety of features available, the excellent customer service and the constant enhancements offered by this platform. BigCommerce keeps the consumer in mind and works hard to help its users to run a profitable business. It is very competitive and stays on top in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Honestly, nothing comes to mind at all. If I were to be forced to find something I dislike, I would have to say

it is not being able to send a message to the customer in the shipping notification email/message. This feature was previously available but with one of the enhancements it became no longer available.

One is able to send a message via the printed packing slip but unfortunately I do not utilize this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigCommerce:

Give it a try. You will not regret it. The learning curve is very short and you will be pleased with the excellent customer service and the progressive thinking shown by the BigCommerce software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to get my products before customers without the need for a mortar and brick store.

BigCommerce has allowed me to sell my products nationwide and I have benefited majorly from the many features the platform offer, the excellent customer service and the ongoing enhancements to the platform - there is always something new and exciting with BigCommerce.
