Brands who chose BigCommerce over Shopify:
Shopify’s gated ecosystem charges you for “outside” solutions, adding up when you try to expand and constraining innovation as your business matures. Shopify monetises its client base through proprietary technologies with additional costs for using “outside” solutions. This creates a gated ecosystem.
BigCommerce empowers you to choose the best-in-class solutions for your unique business needs on a platform that’s flexible enough to evolve as you reach new stages of digital maturity. BigCommerce provides open choice to partner with best-in-class solutions. This empowers a flexible, modern ecommerce ecosystem.
“The question we asked ourselves was, ‘how do we find the quickest path to value? We didn't have 12 months to get things done, we had six months,” Naish recounts. We needed speed. We needed flexibility. We needed connectivity, but most importantly, we needed to demonstrate the viability of digital. BigCommerce had what we were looking for and it was cost effective, too.”

“It was those two things, features and functionality, that really set BigCommerce apart from the pack and ultimately led us to replatform to BigCommerce.”
Joe Sharplin, Head of Ecommerce, AS Colour — Migrated from: Magento 1
“BigCommerce is geared towards developers, but it also has that entry point where you can just jump in and start using it. You don't need to rebuild or reinvent the wheel if you don't want to, which was the big selling point for me.”
Steve Shapiro, Director of Ecommerce and IT, Music Direct — Migrated from: DotNetNuke
