"Actual Customer Service"
5/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

What I like most about BigCommerce is the customer service it provides. It isn't like the other platforms that say they care for their consumers but only have email interface when faced with customer needs. BigCommerce is responsive and helpful with a human interaction. Not to mention that the user experience from a non-techonlogical web designer point of view is hands down the best! You combine these two things and I by far recommend this platfrom over any other platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

"Big Commerce is a great product especially used out of the box"
3.5/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Big Commerce has a lot of great features out of the box - there are many options for integrating 3rd party software, which is a very helpful thing as more and more solutions are becoming mre important and necessary for online retailers to connect and maintain. Using Big Commerce is fairly straightforward on the back end, and we have not havd many issues finding our way around the admin dashboard. Customer Support has been great - I meet monthly with our BC account rep, and he always has great feedback and advice on how we're doing, so I have found that their support has truly been of great value to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

We have experienced some pretty heavy pain points for our Wordpress headless implementation. While headless can be a great approach for some, our customizations have made our integration more difficult and much more costly than anticipated, so make sure to research this approach heavily before committing. For those using Big Commerce out of the box, the experience is going to be much smoother and I would highly recommend using the product this way (as opposed to headless) if your business does not have many unique checkout or web experience customizations.

"A powerful platform for mid to large businesses"
4/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

BigCommerce is very much that - big. The possibilities are nigh on endless, particularly when partnering with a development agency specialising in BC. There's clearly a drive by BC towards empowering their merchants to go global with lots of tools to make international selling easy. The platform itself is easy to use on a day to day basis, and the customer support is excellent with quick response times and largely quick solutions. The number of integrations with third party platforms is really quite impressive offering lots of choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

Analytics could be more maleable. Sometimes the platform feels too powerful for our smaller side projects. Working with a development agency or having a developer on the team is very much required with BigCommerce - sometimes even what feel like the simplest of projects require a deep knowledge of APIs etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall Great Platform"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"TYLER'S x BigCommerce *****"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, feature-rich, and stable platform for the SMB market and beyond."
5/5
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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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).
