Popular amongst E-commerce businesses, BigCommerce is an all-in-one solution that allows users to build their own custom websites with an online storefront.
Overview:
BigCommerce is a popular choice for E-commerce startups. Users rave about how easy it is to get started and the quality of customer support. However, a common complaint is that it’s not as all-encompassing as other platforms such as Shopify. Another thing to watch out for is that you need to subscribe to at least the “Pro” level to get perks such as the abandoned cart saver and stored credit cards. In addition, BigCommerce advertises that users automatically gain access to shipping label discounts. We suggest going through shipping software that integrates with BigCommerce instead. You (and your customers) won’t see better discounts on postage than when you use software to buy postage online.

The quality of the customer support just by itself makes BigCommerce worth every penny!

Anyone who knows anything about eCommerce knows what these platforms do, so I won’t go into it. Just felt it was important to point out why you want to start off with the Pro subscription. I tried the mid-level Plus subscription but ended up paying for the Pro after like a month. Standard and Plus are missing some pretty essential features you’ll need, so just go ahead and spring for the Pro right away. It’s worth it.

Best all-in-one out there! The subscription price you see is the price you pay, other than integrations you pay for to add on. Have never received better customer support, response times are extremely quick. Highly suggest giving them a try for a couple weeks for free!
