Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

I use BigCommrce to host my custom gaming controller website. It is used for marketing, order fulfillment, shipping and as my storefront. BigCommerce also provides us with abandon cart notifications, promotions, emails, and analytics.
  • Ecommerce - great and user-friendly store front
  • Integration - vast library of integration options
  • Shipping - many shipping softwares and carriers
  • Product information - many fields for the most detailed information
  • Fast websites - fast load times
  • SEO - preprogrammed SEO fields
  • Promotions- need more options for discounts
  • Manager mobile application- needs a mobile application to manage your store
  • Low cost - many options for the cost
  • Many features - many features for a low price point
  • Flexible integration - huge library of integration options.
It cannot host marketplaces, so you could not build a marketplace like Amazon or Rakuten.
We utilize APIs for shipping, which quote the customer's order. We use it for customer order tracking that delivers customer notifications about their order in transit. We utilize APIs for email marketing also.
Shopify is also good, but not nearly as user friendly. Shopify is also double the price of BigCommerce but still lacks similar features available at the same price of BigCommerce.
It is most suited for eCommerce / shopping cart type websites as intentionally built for it.

  • Feature loaded templates
  • customizable promotions

Its the best bang for your buck when it comes to e-commerce platforms. Comparable with Shopify, but more cost effective.
