"Good Platform With Lots of Features and Great Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Bigcommerce is a really good, reliable platform that we have been using for years (we are a toy retailer).

As someone who uses the software on most days of the week, I find the interface well laid out, (in my opinion) pretty easy to use, and they always seem to be improving the software.

The support team are really good, and can usually help me when I need them to quickly and politely.

The ability for us to be able to suggest improvements and vote on others suggestions is really good, and there have been quite a lot of things that we have wanted, implemented into the software.

The app store also has tons of apps which are easy to install and use, which we have used to expand our reach to other marketplaces. Integrating with Bigcommerce this way is nice and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

As a company with multiple stores online, I wish that Bigcommerce would add the following (because they don't have them currently):

The ability to have multiple click and collect locations without the need for additional apps.

The site search function is not bad, and seems to be on par with Shopify, however it would be nice for the seach to be natively more intuitive (like Doofinder) but without the need for another installation or subscriptions.

Finally, I think that all features should be allowed on all tiers, rather than saving some for the moire expensive tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisfied 3 Year Customer"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Big Commerce has given us more functionality, allowing us to grow our online presence over the last 3 years. It is easy to use and is very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

It is hard to get an easy answer - you need to go to the community and "hope" someone else has raised the issue. Also, we cannot arrange our items on a page to group items together, they just populate from when they were created - this doesn't always make a great presentation on the site. It makes it harder for the customer to see all like items together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good E-commerce platform"
3.5/5

BigCommerce is a good e-commerce platform, it lets us have different integrations, access the analytics easily, and offer a variety of apps in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

It's not as user-friendly as I would like, and it's challenging to find developers or help specialized in BigCommerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Whatever you do, don't use them."
0/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Genuinely nothing. After moving to Bigcommerce all my Analytics stats went backwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

I used Bigcommerce for less than a year before realizing that all my stats from my wordpress website were going downhill... fast. I've since moved my site and things are going back to normal... Then I get hit with an annual subscription fee as apparently I hadn't cancelled it correctly. I messaged support to try and get a refund but they wouldn't give the money back even though I hadn't been using their services for a few months. Looking at the reviews below it's clear that it's because people are leaving them in droves.

I still get messages from Wordpress saying they're about to charge my card for this or that service that I've signed up to and forgotten about... Which gives me time to go in an cancel the service before I'm charged. I'm genuinely shocked how bad Bigcommerce is as a platform - and how bad their customer service is as well.

"AVOID if you have any Brick & Mortar Locations"
0/5
What do you like best about BigCommerce?

Easy to set up and list products for ecommerce retail. Doesn't require any technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigCommerce?

If you have physical locations, please read this so you do not end up in the same situation as ours. You absolutely should NOT integrate BigCommerce with a POS. Why? Because BC will consider all your B&M sales as ecommerce sales and you will get hit with an absolutely insane monthly/annual subscription fee. They refuse to distinguish between ecomm sales and B&M sales. This will make it virtually impossible to keep track of inventory between the store(s) and your ecommerce platform, which makes it useless for any ecomm+B&M retailer.

If B&M makes up any significant percentage of your revenue, look elsewhere for your ecomm platform. They claim they don't take a percentage of your sales, but their pricing structure is tiered based on sales volume, so it's just an end run around percentage-based sales.

Also, there are a limited number of plugins so you are unable to easily customize with advanced features. Want advanced shipping options? Well, either pay for a very expensive plugin, or you're out of luck.

You're stuck with whatever BigCommerce decides to develop, especially on the back end. Limited storefront design options available and product variation listings are pretty severly limited as to what you can do. This is all done on purpose to make it easy for non-technical people to use their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Up until now, the limitation with AfterPay but it seems like that is all about to change! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
