Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

[It's being used as an] Online sales window (store-front) provider for online retail of hobby-related products. Some helpful analytics of sales, products; allows posting of reviews by customers, simple and effective editing of products. Relatively low cost; good to excellent online and telephone support with good availability. Stable and good reliability (uptime), no noticeable outages affecting sales.
  • Phone support when needed
  • Interactive chat support is available, and usually able to solve any issues
  • Minimal downtime, easy to construct an online store for a beginner.
  • Sometimes on-line chat has been ineffective, or only refers to FAQ's or other docs that do not solve the problem.
  • More options for low-cost storefront designs would be helpful
  • Better assistance integrating postal options is needed
  • Allows world-wide presence in a niche industry/application
I would use again were I to open a similar business.
Not using- beyond the need of the company at present
For a small home-based, craft business, it has been very good. I cannot recommend for other types, as I have no experience therewith.
