Migrating from BigCommerce to Shopify
On paper there are a lot of similarities between BigCommerce and Shopify but from a longer term perspective Shopify wins the race. The scale of investment from Shopify globally and its large network of apps makes this the standout choice when considering the right eCommerce platform for your business.
While BigCommerce and Shopify are playing in the same space in terms of costs and setup, our experience has been that clients choose Shopify for its design flexibility and better marketing ecosystem that are game changers when you’re wanting the edge over your competitors and growing your business.
Below are some of the key benefits:
This is why
1
Superior App Ecosystem: Shopify offers a much larger app marketplace, providing seamless integrations and specialised tools to enhance your store's functionality and scalability.
2
Better Design Flexibility: Shopify’s themes and customization options provide more creative control over design, enabling a more tailored brand experience.
3
Global Reach: Shopify Markets simplifies selling internationally with built-in multi-currency and language features.
4
Developer Flexibility: Shopify’s customizable APIs allow for deeper integrations, giving businesses more control over site features and customer experience.
