Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

BC is the main online selling platform for all my products. It is used by all users in the company to manage online selling.

Business problems:
  • An easy way to learn and upload all products for selling and managing online customer orders.
  • Peace of mind security and ongoing tech upgrades for micro-businesses.
  • Site security for micro-businesses without the technical knowledge
  • Very strong SEO and Google integration over time for site owners
  • Platform upgrades and features that improve sales for users
  • BC Townhall to keep users updated about new features
  • Themes upgrade is costing users very much because of theme customizations on the existing store.
  • Image gallery needs improvements for the default cornerstone theme.
  • Megamenu for default cornerstone is hard to use and setup, drop down and product filtering menus not comprehensive enough.
  • Good ROI over time as store SEO dramatically improve only after 3 years or more.
  • Continuing platform investments without putting up plan prices for a long time.
  • Attract more visitors with market-leading, best-in -lass mobile store format.
  • Unlimited product uploads without platform commission and transaction fees for payment gateway fees
  • Platform speed improving over time
  • Good theme upgrades for default cornerstone theme
We have limited use of API and third-party apps to integrate without the store because of a lack of tech knowledge and BC partner tend to be too expensive for micro business to make minor changes to make use of the latest platform features.
BC is much more superior than Shopify for micro-businesses because of its strength in SEO without investing in professional search engine customizations with just the default out of the box plan.
Good for micro-business users who do not know much about SEO. BC is helping the user to manage the basics much better for search engine ranking compared to other platforms. BC theme customization for default DIY changes is still limited without HTML knowledge.
