Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

BigCommerce is being used across the whole operation - meaning this is our main online POS system. We use it to connect our Square in-store POS to our online presence wich is solely hosted by BigCommerce. This is the best solution we've found.
  • Connects well with Square
  • SEO optimized
  • Square updates have recently been super buggy. This was terrible during the holidays when we had to cancel several online orders when BIgCommerce didn't update our online stock during super busy in-store sales.
  • I'd like more control over my landing page and internal pages, but without coding skills, am stuck with my template's parameters.
  • More online sales since switching to BigCommerce
  • Less time adding new product
Feel like you can use BIgCommerce for just about any size operation.
We've only used it in that we've bought several templates over time from designers using the API.
Pricing-wise, BigCommerce is pretty much the same. Our problem was a way to track inventory across in-store, on-site and online sales. BigCommerce was the solution that worked best with Square.
I'd say it's most appropriate if you are using Square for in-person sales and want inventory online to reflect actual inventory. When it's working, it's a huge help. If you're already using WordPress or Squarespace for your shop, you might find Shopify a better fit.
