3dcart vs BigCommerce

• SEO - 3dcart is built in such a way that even if you do no SEO work at all, as long as you use the meta description wizard on each page or product you wind up still searching pretty well in Google.
• Product uploads - Product uploads are easy to do with 3dcart's .csv import/export feature. No need to struggle with messy simple and variable uploads like on WooCommerce, 3dcart takes the guesswork and hassle out of uploading different product types.
• Media uploads - Media uploads are quick and simple and the uploader always works.

• Bigcommerce is amazing because of their advanced 301 Redirects feature that dramatically preserves your SEO. If you have a lot of products and prices that change very frequently, Bigcommerce's 301 Redirect feature is seamless as it automatically redirects your pages as you change any information on any of your pages. The search engines look for this, and if you do not do it correctly it will adversely affect your SEO.
• Bigcommerce is also great because of their lightning fast .CSV upload rates for products that you upload onto the Bigcommerce server.
• One thing that I also like about Bigcommerce, even though I did not like it at first, is that they do not offer custom coding or changes on your Bigcommerce store. Since I am in online marketing, and am not an HTML coder, I have sometimes made changes to my store that have really messed up the source code to my store causing a large amount of maintenance and coding. Bigcommerce understands this aspect so that you do not mess up the source coding to your website.

• 3dcart does not connect to many of the POS systems my clients use so we need to manually update inventory daily/weekly.
• There are many modules available to do many different things, but it makes you feel like you are being tickled and died to death to get the site to do exactly what you want. Also can be confusing if you don't know what you actually need.
• It's a little difficult/confusing to upload products with multiple variations - ie: color and size - especially if there are multiples colors and multiple sizes.

• I would like to see them add more data, category, and product import capabilities. With large stores maximum control over some of the imports is very helpful. Although, the functionality they currently have for imports is still great.
• I finally figured out their WebDav method for connecting to transfer site files (mostly my issue though). Works great now. But in all fairness they did give me plenty of notice to work out my connection settings before doing away with ftp.
• Maybe introduce the topic of 'ease of migration' with potential customers with the sentence, "This will involve work. Moving always has it's challenges. But the process is straightforward, can be done relatively quickly, in a way that won't lose you customers, and will more than pay for itself." I had one former client a little unprepared for the work the migration process actually took and disillusioned by a well-intentioned 1st level on-boarder. (But again, in fairness, moving to or from any cart is still a process and BigC did a great job with helping; which can't be said for a self-hosted solution or some other carts)
