"Has Pros and Cons but I recommend it"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

It's built for novices but developers can still do a lot with it. Unless your catalog is humongous, you can also just base your BigCommerce store on WordPress instead if you're more familiar with that.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I could never get them to answer why my ex-employer's Cornerstone-based store didn't have top scores in web analytics measurements.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are one company that makes it possible to launch a store quickly and if you go with their hosting, the site will be very reliable.

"Convenient to use"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

It allows to perform many operations and transactions, and it's an excellent tool for backstore processes.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Sometimes the different settings can be hard to locate on the interface, and it comes with some default settings that we have to manually disable every time we are going to place an order.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

It serves as a customer portal and the base for our online store. It also allows us to establish a warehouse inventory control, and allows us to place, view and track sales and warranty orders for our customers.

"Flexible, feature-rich, and stable platform for the SMB market and beyond."
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

What I like best are the incredibly well trained Support staff who are always available. I've worked on a number of platforms, and these folks really know their stuff!

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Some of the ways in which product merchandising is managed could be improved to save merchants time. How do I add multiple products to the same category, or place multiple products on sale without visiting each product one by one? Other platforms make this basic product management much easier. Also, although there are many native features, some of them aren't very good and force merchants to improve upon them via apps (blog management and gift certificates to name a couple).

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy e-commerce storefront setup. The platform is stable and the support is great. Easy to integrate against other platforms like inventory management, ESP, and shipping tools, too.

"You are only great because you stand on the shoulders of giants."
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Have been using BigCommerce (BC) since 2009. It has spent a lot of long days and nights and is the reason I was able to get my business to 8 figures. Thank you.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Finding the right team that matches something like BigCommerce is essential. Sometimes, it is a challening to align with a team that is passionate about the product (BC) as well as your business. So maybe a little hard to find good parallel skills.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scaling a growing business and helping me find solutions to scale further.

"Partnering with BigCommerce."
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

As a long standing partner of BigCommerce, we've been impressed with the ease of use of the product as well are the ease of integration. We continiously work closely with the BigCommerce team to ensure our connector always up-to-date. The customer support team it top notch and resposnive. The Partner Manager, Kyle, is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's a doer and knows how to get projects done.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

There are no downsides about the BigCommerce platform. If there are any negatives, it would from a partner persecptive, it can be difficult to get co-marketing initiatives off the ground.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigCommerce helps our customers sell their catalog online. We also use BigCommerce internally as an extension of Pimberly. Our customers and their vendors/suppliers have the ability to view their products within Pimberly as if they were in a BigCommerce instance.

"Overall Great Platform"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Our ecommerce business basically doubled overnight once our BigCommerce stores went live earlier this year. SEO seems to be really good, we're able to create robust product listings with plenty of quality photos, video, etc. We love the multistore platform as we have 5 websites and are able to sell across all of them with one backend experience. No downtime that has ever been noticeable. Our CSM has been very helpful.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

A lot of the options we need require separate subscription based apps which can add up quickly. Some difficulties customizing some of the templates. Some difficulties with some apps not being compatible with multistore. My biggest frustration is in not being able to edit orders and have the payment amount adjust- we have to cancel an entire order if a customer wants to cancel or add an item, then wait a day to issue a refund and have the customer reorder.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to run and sell from multiple ecommerce storefronts while managing from a single dashboard has been enormously helpful and time saving.

"Best Commerce must have already been taken."
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

User-friendly interface. Excellent Customer Service and Customer Support when you need it.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Some essential functions and features are typically available through a third party (there's an app for that) instead of being an important feature created by Big Commerce out of the box to keep your enterprise moving forward.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

The look and feel of BC is easier to control. Do you want to change the way an address field looks? You can do that. You want a 1-step checkout, which can happen with a few changes without going to a developer.

"TYLER'S x BigCommerce *****"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

BigCommerce has been instrumental in our development since day 1. To TYLER'S, BigCommerce isn't just a SAAS platform, they're coaches, mentors, friends, and counselors. We're best at being a specialized retailer and have spent 40 years navigating the physical store side, but are still fairly young and new in the online world. BigCommerce helps us understand the mechanisms to be more competitive in the ecommerce space, which spills over into our stores through implementations directed towards an omnichannel experience. They know our goals and resolutions and even in the worst case scenario of not knowing the answer to something, they find someone who does.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

The mobile app is coming along but still has some work to be optimized and complete. I'm on the road a lot and always have to work off my phone so this will be a big win for me when everything is finalized.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining a lean E-commerce ecosystem with minimal development needs, omnichannel development, and Preffered Partner networking all contribute to our underlying ability to operate at scale without massive overhead.

"Easy Commerce platform with many promotional options"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

They offer integrations with many plug ins and apps which makes your life as a e commerce professional much easier and they have 24 hour support available to customers

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

You do not get to speak to developers about your issues, only support staff and their multi store product is not fully developed yet and has lots of snags and issues.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

E commerce needs are fulfilled with campaign linked to google and social marketing, automated emailing to customers as well as video and image options and badges for products to entice shoppers.

"Bigcommerce website review"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Bigcommerce was very user friendly to use, we used it to process orders for a specific customer. We would have to confirm the orders in the portal, and the website was very structured.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I disliked that you would have to go into so many different tabs to be ablento view the customers information. You would have to click on the orders tab, then customer information to view anything. I wish they had just put it all on one screen to view at one time.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a one stop website for all of the customers data (orders, customers information and questions). Bigcommerce is working to make the website for efficient for the customers and the users.

"A Comprehensive BigCommerce Review"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

The platform offers a wide range of customizable themes and templates, robust product management tools, secure payment gateways, and seamless integration with various third-party applications. BigCommerce provides excellent customer support and resources, including a comprehensive knowledge base and community forum, to help users get the most out of their e-commerce stores.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Some users have mentioned that the platform's built-in SEO tools could be more robust, and there are limited customization options for the checkout process. Despite these concerns, BigCommerce remains a highly regarded e-commerce platform offering robust features and benefits for businesses of all sizes.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building an e-commerce website can be a complex and time-consuming process. BigCommerce streamlines the process by providing a user-friendly platform with drag-and-drop functionality, pre-built templates, and customizable themes. As a business grows and its sales volume increases, it may become challenging to manage an online store. BigCommerce is built to be scalable, allowing companies to easily add products, work orders, and process payments, even as their sales volume increases. Security is critical for e-commerce businesses as they deal with sensitive customer information and payment details. BigCommerce provides secure payment gateways, SSL encryption, and PCI compliance to ensure that customer data is protected

"Most Trusted and Professional Commerce Solution Platform"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

BigCommerce is really the best platform that is fit for my business from every side. I really like the dashboard of this platform and how easily I can upload and manage inventory. I am satisfied with the agility and speed that is protecting and growing the sales of my products. Without no limitations, I can control my eCommerce business in a professional way.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I have a lot of years of experience in the eCommerce business and I am honestly speaking that I never found such a great and easy platform without any cons and issues. For me there is no such a thing in the BigCommerce platform that can be disliked. All options and features are perfect.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have solved the all issues of my eCommerce business using BigCommerce. Because now I feel so easy to add and manage products using this platform. I can create simple, variable, and downloadable products within a few clicks.

"A software platform that can handle your large or small business"
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Support from day one has been really good. They answer the phone, emails and live chat quickly. I can't say the same for some of their competitors. Feature-rich with good reliability.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I believe that some features that should be included are not there. We wanted to offer more variants than the product page would allow and there was no way for a developer or an app to make the limit higher. We had to change our product strategy to work around this. Some more flexibility would be nice from time to time.

What problems is BigCommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?

They offered a platform that supported us with good customer service, reliability and growth potential. Many features that are a cost option on other platforms are included with big commerce.
