Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

We use Big Commerce for online selling (retail and wholesale orders).
  • The best technical support department ever. Always there to help.
  • Easy to use platform.
  • Many features that can be added without extra cost.
  • Would be great if geo targeting was available.
  • Better integration with Square and Quickbooks would be appreciated.
  • It would be great if the checkout function was improved.
  • BigCommerce allows me to run my online business with no interruptions.
  • The support team is top-notch, easily accessible, provides guidance, and helps with troubleshooting when necessary.
  • BigCommerce allows me to have different pricing structures for various customer groups (direct-to-consumer and wholesale). It is easy to set up this option, and it doesn't require extra fees.
It is easy to integrate BigCommerce with Square for in-store purchases.
We use customer groups to separate customers in retail and wholesale (allows us to offer different pricing and promotions) - Inventory is automatically synced between Square for in-store purchases and BigCommerce for online purchases (avoids overselling) - We easily import orders from BigCommerce into Quickbooks for accounting purposes (it saves a lot of time!).
I chose BigCommerce over Shopify because I felt there were more built-in apps in BigCommerce. Other than that, I felt that both solutions are very similar.

Do you think BigCommerce delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with BigCommerce's feature set?

Yes

Did BigCommerce live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of BigCommerce go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BigCommerce again?

Yes

I think it's great for small businesses that don't have a technical department. Most things can be implemented with basic computer knowledge, the Big Commerce Forum, and the help of the Big Commerce Technical Department.
