Overall Satisfaction with BigCommerce
We are an agency that helps merchants build and maintain their stores.
Pros
- Easy to categorize products.
- Import/Export products.
- Cart Recovery.
Cons
- When you update the product name, it automatically changes the URL. I feel it is the most ridiculous feature ever, and detrimental to SEO.
- No search in theme files, which requires a theme download to search. This should make it easier to use by adding a search feature.
- We are an agency, so we learned BigCommerce to stay relevant in e-commerce for merchants.
Not available
We are not using any open APIs.
Each platform has its pros and cons. However, overall, BigCommerce is the most challenging to work with from a developer's perspective. Simply finding files and locating the code in the theme editor takes too much time.
