The barrier to entry with BigCommerce is much lower than with more mid-level and enterprise-level ecommerce platforms. There is not a lot of advanced functionality, however the product is very cost-effective for smaller brands looking to sell online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were a lot of constraints from a navigation and SEO perspective, especially when compared to higher-level ecommerce platforms. However, for similar product price ranges, BigCommerce delivers decent product management and design capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easier to us than most e-commerce websites. It's so simple to maneuver around your site and set up your website. One of the coolest things is that I can accept payments from not only paypal but apple pay and amazon pay as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The templates are difficult to change if you don't like something on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have much to compare it to, but there seems to be many options as far as design goes. Customer service is always very kind when we get them on the phone (although they don't ever seem to know the answer to our problems without putting us on hold first). The breakdown of analytics is also very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is pretty outdated and it's not very intuitive. There is no "preview" button, so you can't see any updates you make to the site without publishing it live, which is a huge problem for an e-commerce site that receives a lot of traffic. The automated emails are very basic and it's very limited in what you're able to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main advantage over shopify is you can use your own payment gateway, so no per transaction fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
App store is a bit weak and doesn't compare to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a former web designer, before opening our e-commerce business I have have used several shopping cart programs. Big Commerce has created an easy to use system for businesses to get started quickly. Everything is there and Big Commerce is priced competitively. Whether you are using their telephone, chat or email support, they respond quickly with support based in the United States. They seem to really care about our business being successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Minor things such as customers not being able to search by UPC code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to start selling almost immediately. Set up and themes are self explanatory and it is very easy to connect payment options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Vary hard to customize and search functions are terrible . Support is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The store builder is extremely easy to use and still looks professionally made Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were more design customization and app / site integration options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BigCommerce has been here for me and my business from the start. They are continuously rolling out new features to help build my business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I dislike is not being able to properly sync my store with google analytics and adwords. I have reached out to both BigCommerce and Google and each company points there finger at the other guy. Just wish I could get some help, I need to know my ROI. Also wish I could use a Premium SSL on my silver Status platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the options it gives you for layouts and themes for your website. Easy tabs to navigate through the back office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It still requires some coding skills, and not everything formats well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
