Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

BigCommerce is our web platform for both our organizations, Bank's Vacuum SuperStores, and Bank's Oreck Vacuum. We use it as an e-Commerce site for all the products and services we sell. BigCommerce consolidates and streamlines all of our online orders. It even handles proper tax calculations via AvaTax. The easy to read and understand dashboard provides a quick-view of my financials.
  • Easy to use admin panel - Everything is where you would think it will be. It's so intuitive.
  • The live chat! What can I say? These people are amazing. I have been walked through almost everything! They are so friendly and helpful and do not give up until your problems are solved.
  • Product options - This function really needs some help. It is not easy to use and is very confusing. I offered this feature on a handful of products but the time it took me to set this up I gave up using it altogether.
  • Apps and install directions - I am unsure if this is a BC problem or third party problem. I have found that most of the apps I use have outdated install directions in regards to BigCommerce.
  • In general, having a beautiful and user-friendly site is all we wanted at the end of the day. The streamlined process to connect it to our GoogleAds has increased our visitors and order value phenomenally.
You can really make your site whatever you want it to be. You can pick a beautiful template and go from there or hire a developer (we found ours on the partner page within BigCommerce) and really make it your own. Our site is completely customized. The only downside from there is that I cannot use the BigCommerce suggested updates. I have to have my developer review and implement them.
I don't know anything about this aspect. I have a BigCommerce partner developer who handles all of this. My site is completely customized from the home page to the product page. It was expensive work but it's a beautiful site.
BigCommerce is a dream compared to Magento. Magento in not intuitive at all and nothing is where you think it should be! BigCommerce all day over here! I will say there are some functions I miss from Magento such as the ability to schedule promotions.
If you are looking for an easy to use e-Commerce platform, BigCommerce is, in my opinion, the best choice. The live chat feature has gotten me through so I did not have to read and re-read complicated directions. The admin set-up is a breeze!
