Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce

We used BigCommerce to create a store that both our B2B and B2C customers could use to easily get the products they need. The problem it was supposed to address was being able to sync transactions between our web site and our ERP system. The difficulty of customization and the slow response from their support has been a challenge.

Pros

  • no additional transaction fees
  • built in product reviews
  • scalability

Cons

  • customer support
  • customization
  • better integration with ERP systems
  • Spending lots of time fit BigCommerce to our needs has outweighed any benefit. it has never felt like a completed project.
The issues with customizing BigCommerce have hampered any progress for us.
We are using the open APIs to connect to our ERP and website but again the issues with customization have been a challenge. Too many issues with the syncs breaking and accounts being deactivated from a bad sync or email address change. Trying to get BigCommerce to work for us has been like trying to herd cats.
We are moving away from BigCommerce. It has not met our needs.

No

Did implementation of BigCommerce go as expected?

No

Would you buy BigCommerce again?

No

It can do well in an environment where it's just B2C. The B2B functionality is lacking and difficult to setup, customize and maintain. There are issues with mapping fields, where if it's not an already included field, it requires a third- party customization. Also, the slow response from support add to the difficulty.
