The BigCommerce platform includes features that can alleviate some of the common issues experienced by Shopify users. An online store built on the BigCommerce platform allows you to edit orders easily, accurately maintain inventory, and manage complex products.
Out of the box, BigCommerce offers a wide variety of solutions for the management of your business, which significantly reduces the need for additional applications, which can reduce monthly costs and the overall TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of your website.
Additionally, the platform has a variety of templates, which can be customized by experienced BigCommerce developers to capture the overall essence of your brand, showcase your products, and delight your customers.
BigCommerce offers many features natively, while Shopify requires an app to install each additional feature, which significantly adds to the cost of the Shopify platform. When it comes to flexibility and design, the BigCommerce platform has over 3,600 high-quality, vetted extensions available to quickly expand store capabilities. With Shopify, you are limited with a standard set of templates and 3rd party integrations.
BigCommerce is also the first eCommerce platform to natively offer AMP-enabled (Accelerated Mobile Pages) product and category pages, which increases speed and functionality.
