"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?

User-friendly interface.

Excellent Customer Service and Customer Support when you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Some essential functions and features are typically available through a third party (there's an app for that) instead of being an important feature created by Big Commerce out of the box to keep your enterprise moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The look and feel of BC is easier to control. Do you want to change the way an address field looks? You can do that.

You want a 1-step checkout, which can happen with a few changes without going to a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

The Seo seems decent in that I am top ranked with not much effort on my part other that doing the basics you read on SEO guides by wiritng good copy and using the right keywords.

Site seems to be up most of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Support is useless, They either point the finger at someone else orcompletely misread what you are asking for. I can't tell if this is deliberate or not but it sure feels like it. You will ask them to fix X and they will respond with 35 different ways to say that Y is working just fine. No matter how many time you say "but I am talking about X not Y!" They won't budge. It's down right dastardly. You almost have to respect thier commitment to doing nothing and tiring you out so you live with whatever is broken.

They will raise rates and fees and when you ask them to not break the commitment they made on pricing they will blame whoever else they can or respond with something semi-related but not actually addressing your concern.

They might get an account rep to engage you and talk about your problems for months that will promise things and by the time you've said all you can about it nothing will have changed. At all. I almost admire thier cunning methods of doing nothing and changing nothing.

I wish I never started with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Absolutely nothing. BigCommerce is a money pit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Their servers are likely to be retooled DOS 386 machines from the 1980's.

Our site is constantly going down, experiences server errors, or slow as molasses.

I'm on one of the higher "Pro" tiers so, per their messaging, I'm supposed to be on a better server. Not a chance. They "escalate tickets" but, in the end, refuse to do anything. And I'm stuck with them for a year.

BigCommerce is absolutely AWFUL! Our conversion rate is around 40% lower than it was on our trusty (yet very dated) NetworkSolutions store.

I am beyond dismayed, and it's not looking likely that my business will survive, thanks exclusively to the wretched infrastructure of BigCommerce.

STAY. AWAY. At all costs!

BigCommerce should be shut down for misleading their customers and failing to deliver on what they advertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is not solving any problems. It is creating problems. It's driving me to bankruptcy at 100 miles an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Started off as a great system for a small business, but within a few years they stopped fixing issues, broke their own search, ignore requests in their forum, and just left their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

They won't fix issues. Act like the issues don't exist. Worse is when they break their own stuff so that you are forced to go find an app to do it at a monthly fee while they still increase their own fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are moving our sites away, After 14 years we are done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
