Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

Since 2016, we've used BigCommerce as our ecommerce platform for retail and wholesale customers to place orders. This includes gifting as well as individual items. The platform also houses informative landing pages for our retail store operations, events, and company bio.

The platform is mainly used as a customer-facing ecommerce solution, though backend orders are placed by customer service, and wholesale partners can log in and shop as well.
  • Tech support is responsive
  • Site experiences minimal downtime
  • Site speed is good.
  • Reporting is very lacking
  • Analytics is lacking and could be more dynamic
  • The platform is somewhat behind the curve as far as functionality
  • Our development priorities do not seem to be in line with the company's plans
  • Monthly invoicing is relatively reasonable.
  • Orders and revenue has increased annually.
  • Lack of functionality has harmed some sales performance.
  • Lack of dynamic promo scheduling is not efficient.
As long as we can fulfill and respond operationally, we should be able to scale.
  • We've connected with post-purchase landing page service.
  • We've connected with email service providers.
  • We've connected with a third-party data company.
BigCommerce was selected before my arrival. I believe Shopify likely has more robust capabilities. 3dcart is similar.
Well-suited for conventional ecommerce transactions. BigCommerce is optimized for page load, imagery and basic functionality. BigCommerce may not be as well suited for blogging or for content delivery and hosting. Generally, the platform has functioned at a high level during peak volume and though some errors have taken place with regard to payment processing, those have been due to 3rd party apps.
