B2B commerce. Multi-storefront. Headless-ready.
BigCommerce expertise
When agencies need B2B wholesale portals, multi-storefront operations, or headless commerce with total API control, BigCommerce is the platform. We build on it, migrate to it, and integrate it — under your brand.
The Platform
Why Agencies Choose BigCommerce.
Not the simplest choice. The right choice for agencies solving serious B2B, multi-channel, and mid-market ecommerce challenges where flexibility matters more than simplicity.
Transaction fees on any plan (Shopify charges 0.5-2%)
API endpoints for complete commerce control
API-native platform built for headless commerce
Core capability areas our team develops in
Deep Expertise
What We Build With BigCommerce.
Not template implementations. Production-tested expertise from mid-market and enterprise commerce deployments where B2B, headless, and multi-channel are table stakes.
Stencil Theme Development
Custom Stencil themes from design spec. Handlebars templating, SCSS architecture, and modular components built for your brand — not off-the-shelf templates with limited flexibility.
Headless Commerce
BigCommerce as the commerce backend powering custom frontends. Next.js, Gatsby, and React implementations fully decoupled from the theme layer. Total design freedom.
B2B and Wholesale Portals
Wholesale storefronts with customer-specific pricing, tiered accounts, bulk ordering, requisition workflows, and approval systems. Native BigCommerce B2B — not workarounds.
Multi-Storefront Operations
Multiple storefronts from a single BigCommerce backend. Separate catalogs, pricing, promotions, and fulfillment rules for different markets, brands, or sales channels.
API Integrations and Custom Apps
Custom BigCommerce apps and API-driven integrations. ERP connectors, inventory sync, order management, CRM, and third-party platform integrations built for production.
Checkout and Payment Customization
Custom checkout experiences, payment gateway integrations, subscription flows, and conversion optimization. BigCommerce checkout engineered for higher AOV.
Platform Migrations
Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom platforms migrated to BigCommerce. Data mapping, SEO preservation, and zero-downtime migration planning.
Enterprise Implementations
High-volume catalogs, complex taxonomies, advanced fulfillment logic, and multi-region deployments. BigCommerce enterprise architecture built for scale.
The Decision
BigCommerce vs Shopify. When Flexibility Wins.
Both are SaaS. Both host your store. But they serve different needs. Shopify is the default recommendation. BigCommerce is the answer when agencies need more flexibility, B2B capabilities, and zero transaction fees.
Store Types
The BigCommerce Stores We Build.
BigCommerce shines in B2B, multi-channel, and headless scenarios. These are the store types where we have the deepest delivery experience.
Migration
Migration to BigCommerce. Every Platform Covered.
Outgrowing your current platform. Tired of transaction fees. Need B2B that actually works. Whatever the reason, we handle the full migration — products, customers, orders, and SEO preservation.
The Stack
The Ecosystem We Work In.
BigCommerce is more than a storefront. We work across the full ecosystem of APIs, tools, and integrations that make enterprise commerce work at scale.
The Process
How a BigCommerce Project Flows.
BigCommerce projects involve more than building a storefront. Channel strategy, B2B configuration, and integration architecture are all part of the process. Here is how it works.
We review the existing store, catalog structure, integrations, and business requirements. Define the channel strategy, B2B needs, and headless architecture decisions upfront.
Catalog taxonomy, customer groups, pricing tiers, channel configuration, and multi-storefront setup. The commerce architecture is designed before any code is written.
Stencil theme from design spec, or headless frontend in Next.js/React. Custom components, responsive layouts, and conversion-optimized checkout flow implementation.
ERP connectors, payment gateways, shipping rules, tax automation, marketplace channels, and third-party app integrations. Every data flow tested end-to-end.
Load testing, checkout flow testing, payment verification, mobile optimization, and SEO audit. The store is stress-tested before any real customer sees it.
DNS cutover, redirect mapping, channel activation, and post-launch monitoring. Marketplace feeds go live. B2B portals open. The merchant starts selling from day one.
Platform Fit
Is BigCommerce the Right Choice?
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is not. We will tell you the truth either way.
The project demands B2B capabilities, multi-channel selling, or headless architecture.
- B2B and Wholesale — Customer-specific pricing, tiered accounts, requisition workflows, and wholesale portals are native to the platform. Not third-party add-ons.
- Multi-Storefront Operations — Multiple brands, markets, or channels managed from a single backend with unified inventory, separate catalogs, and independent pricing.
- Headless Commerce — API-first architecture with 600+ endpoints means total frontend freedom. Build custom experiences in Next.js, React, or any framework.
- High-Volume Merchants — Zero transaction fees on any plan. At scale, this saves merchants thousands per month compared to Shopify’s transaction fee model.
- Complex Integrations — ERP, CRM, PIM, and warehouse management systems connected through robust APIs and webhooks with full data control.
The project has simpler requirements or different platform needs.
- Simple DTC Store — A basic storefront with under 100 products. Shopify’s simplicity and app ecosystem make it the faster, cheaper choice for small catalogs.
- Content-First Ecommerce — If the business is primarily content, blogging, and SEO with a secondary store, WordPress with WooCommerce offers deeper content management tools.
- Maximum App Ecosystem — If the project relies heavily on third-party apps and integrations, Shopify’s 8,000+ app marketplace is larger than BigCommerce’s ecosystem.
- Extreme Budget Constraints — BigCommerce pricing reflects enterprise features. For very basic storefronts, simpler platforms offer lower entry points.
Common Questions
Questions. Answers.
Stencil themes live within BigCommerce and connect directly to the platform’s theme engine using Handlebars templating. Headless means BigCommerce provides data through APIs while you build a completely custom frontend in Next.js, React, or another framework. Choose Stencil for faster deployment and lower cost. Choose headless for total design freedom and advanced frontend performance.
BigCommerce wins on three fronts: native B2B capabilities without Shopify Plus pricing, zero transaction fees on any plan, and multi-storefront from a single backend. If the merchant needs wholesale portals, operates multiple brands, or processes high order volumes where transaction fees add up, BigCommerce is the better fit. If simplicity and app ecosystem size matter more, Shopify wins.
BigCommerce has native B2B features built into the platform. Customer groups with tiered pricing, role-based buyer and approver access, wholesale-specific catalogs, requisition workflows, approval systems, and customer-specific promotions. The B2B Edition adds even more: quote management, purchase orders, and company account hierarchies. None of this requires third-party apps.
Yes. BigCommerce’s multi-storefront capability lets you create separate storefronts with different catalogs, pricing, and rules from a single backend. Different brands, different markets, different sales channels — all managed from one dashboard. Inventory is synchronized across all storefronts. Orders flow to the same fulfillment system. Reporting is unified.
Yes. We handle Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom platform migrations to BigCommerce. We map products, customers, orders, and custom data. SEO is preserved through 301 redirects and URL mapping. Multiple dry runs in staging before the final cutover. Zero downtime. Migration timeline is typically 6-16 weeks depending on catalog size and integration complexity.
Zero. BigCommerce charges no transaction fees on any plan, regardless of which payment gateway you use. Shopify charges 0.5-2% on non-Shopify Payments transactions. For merchants processing $1M+ annually, this difference translates to $5,000-$20,000 in savings per year. You still pay normal payment processing fees to your gateway (Stripe, PayPal, etc.), but BigCommerce takes no cut on top.
Yes. Custom BigCommerce apps extend the platform with new functionality — single-click installs, custom dashboards, workflow automation, and complex integrations. Apps can be private (single merchant) or published to the BigCommerce App Marketplace. We handle OAuth, permissions, API integration, and production deployment.
Your agency remains client-facing throughout. We operate invisibly — communication flows through your team, deliverables carry your branding, the client never interacts with us. Staging environments, documentation, training, and ongoing support are all under your agency’s name and brand. You control the client relationship and pricing.
