Approximate Annual eCommerce Revenue

$20,000 to $100,000

Scalability

I have not used it [BigCommerce] across multiple departments, but we will have multiple brands, for which it seems well suited.

Alternatives Considered

Shopify, Magento Commerce and part of Adobe Commerce Cloud

BigCommerce seems much easier to set up and get started with less custom development than the alternatives.

BigCommerce is great for medium to large product catalogs. For very small businesses, the amount of work required to get started can be intimidating when selling only a few products. Most BigCommerce sites seem to look very similar - more diversity of default layouts and templates would go a long way towards providing a better small business experience.

Good for [a] small business with a learning curve
