"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?

Its easy to use when you are non-technical and SEO is easy to configure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

It don't provide staging, have bugs and when you do importing with products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BigCommerce provides straightforward payment setup and store establishment. However, theme customization can be complex. With diverse features, it's ideal for scalability and e-commerce growth. Yet, beginners might find the learning curve steep. And I cant recommend this platform for bigger stores, specially when it connects on google ads, google pmax Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

BigCommerce is very much that - big. The possibilities are nigh on endless, particularly when partnering with a development agency specialising in BC. There's clearly a drive by BC towards empowering their merchants to go global with lots of tools to make international selling easy. The platform itself is easy to use on a day to day basis, and the customer support is excellent with quick response times and largely quick solutions. The number of integrations with third party platforms is really quite impressive offering lots of choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Analytics could be more maleable. Sometimes the platform feels too powerful for our smaller side projects. Working with a development agency or having a developer on the team is very much required with BigCommerce - sometimes even what feel like the simplest of projects require a deep knowledge of APIs etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Offering a singular platform to host our multiple brands. While we don't currently use MultiStore Front, we are looking at this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Our ecommerce business basically doubled overnight once our BigCommerce stores went live earlier this year. SEO seems to be really good, we're able to create robust product listings with plenty of quality photos, video, etc. We love the multistore platform as we have 5 websites and are able to sell across all of them with one backend experience. No downtime that has ever been noticeable. Our CSM has been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

A lot of the options we need require separate subscription based apps which can add up quickly. Some difficulties customizing some of the templates. Some difficulties with some apps not being compatible with multistore. My biggest frustration is in not being able to edit orders and have the payment amount adjust- we have to cancel an entire order if a customer wants to cancel or add an item, then wait a day to issue a refund and have the customer reorder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to run and sell from multiple ecommerce storefronts while managing from a single dashboard has been enormously helpful and time saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

BigCommerce has been instrumental in our development since day 1. To TYLER'S, BigCommerce isn't just a SAAS platform, they're coaches, mentors, friends, and counselors. We're best at being a specialized retailer and have spent 40 years navigating the physical store side, but are still fairly young and new in the online world. BigCommerce helps us understand the mechanisms to be more competitive in the ecommerce space, which spills over into our stores through implementations directed towards an omnichannel experience. They know our goals and resolutions and even in the worst case scenario of not knowing the answer to something, they find someone who does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

The mobile app is coming along but still has some work to be optimized and complete. I'm on the road a lot and always have to work off my phone so this will be a big win for me when everything is finalized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Maintaining a lean E-commerce ecosystem with minimal development needs, omnichannel development, and Preffered Partner networking all contribute to our underlying ability to operate at scale without massive overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

What I like best are the incredibly well trained Support staff who are always available. I've worked on a number of platforms, and these folks really know their stuff! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Some of the ways in which product merchandising is managed could be improved to save merchants time. How do I add multiple products to the same category, or place multiple products on sale without visiting each product one by one? Other platforms make this basic product management much easier. Also, although there are many native features, some of them aren't very good and force merchants to improve upon them via apps (blog management and gift certificates to name a couple). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy e-commerce storefront setup. The platform is stable and the support is great. Easy to integrate against other platforms like inventory management, ESP, and shipping tools, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Big Commerce phone support is excellent. They usually fix my issues fast and in a timely manner. It is a technical company. Ease of Implementation is intuitive and fast. The phone support is always reachable even at odd hours. Did I say the phone support was excellent? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I have to upgrade my websites to new versions sometimes because some things on the website have become obsolete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

It's built for novices but developers can still do a lot with it. Unless your catalog is humongous, you can also just base your BigCommerce store on WordPress instead if you're more familiar with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I could never get them to answer why my ex-employer's Cornerstone-based store didn't have top scores in web analytics measurements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are one company that makes it possible to launch a store quickly and if you go with their hosting, the site will be very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

It allows to perform many operations and transactions, and it's an excellent tool for backstore processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Sometimes the different settings can be hard to locate on the interface, and it comes with some default settings that we have to manually disable every time we are going to place an order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It serves as a customer portal and the base for our online store. It also allows us to establish a warehouse inventory control, and allows us to place, view and track sales and warranty orders for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

On the rare instances that we have had an issue on Big Commerce, the support we have received has been top-notch. The stability of the platform is the most important benefit we have gotten from Big Commerce, the store has never been down for any amount of time in the 18 or so months we have been using it. Our previous experience with a different product was not the same. We also were live less than 4 months after we made the decision to migrate to Big Commerce and we have around 5,000 SKUs on our site, so it ease of implementation and was huge for us. We also have many different customer types from different b2b and b2c customers, so integrating our ERP seamlessly has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

There needs to be a way for there to be 2 store owners, as only the store owner can perform certain functions. This is nitpicking though, we honestly have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The stabiloity of our old platform was a major issue for us. Big Commerce has been very stable and their support has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Freedom to build/develop custom solutions. It's one of two reasons we left Shopify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

It's been a mixed bag. We came over from Shopify and I feel Shopify is much more user friendly. We were promised a universal store that would allow us to operate globally through a single domain and the delivery of that product has been pushed out several times. Instead of having a single .com site we currently manage and operate 5 instances (.com, .co.uk, .ca, .eu & .au) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Freedom to build custom solutions. We have a custom built report site we built to create data sets unique to our needs. We couldn't do this on Shopify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
