Key benefits of using BigCommerce

1. Faster results, superior ROI: since we are a cloud based solution, you no longer have the burden of owning infrastructure. Go to market time is on average 1/2 that of an on-premise platform like Magento, and total cost of ownership is 1/4 the cost. Money previously spent on hardware, hosting and maintenance can be reinvested in the business and tech teams can focus on higher-impact projects than fixing broken code and deploying patches and updates.

2. Flexible customizable SaaS: our open architecture enables you to seamlessly connect with critical business software - we offer one-click integrations, as well as powerful APIs & webhooks to build integration from scratch. Unlike competing platforms, we don't limit API calls. Additionally, our strategy differs here from Shopify; we believe in building an open platform, so you have the power of choice to integrate your own payment provider and Point of Sale, instead of pointing you to our home-grown solution.

3. Extraordinary shopping experience: the Bigcommerce theme framework is brand new and contains the bleeding-edge of site design capabilities. We offer beautiful easy-to-customize themes with drag and drop content blocks (Instagram feed, featured single product, blog featurette, etc) and highly-optimized one-page checkout. For customers customizing their sites, developers don't have to learn proprietary languages like Shopify's Liquid-- they can code in popular Handlebar languages. Developers will be delighted to know we offer local staging environments (preview changes across desktop and mobile displays using real-time catalog without pushing updates to your live store). Merchandisers will love that they can also personalize the storefront based on shopper behavior and purchase history.

4. Hub for all your sales channels: Bigcommerce unifies all aspects of commerce with Bigcommerce Channel Manager, an area where you can discover and connect to new sales channels. We sync product information, orders and inventory across channels so you no longer have to work in multiple interfaces to sell on multiple channels. Bigcommerce is one of the only ecommerce platforms partnered with social networks Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter to offer access to "social buy buttons," and we are closely partnering with Amazon to build a market-differentiated native integration.

5. A complete all-in-one solution: from conversion tools, to shipping functionality, to flexible promotions & discount rules, Bigcommerce offers all the capabilities you need to run a successful business built right it, without the need to pay for dozens of apps for basic functionality.

Pros
BigCommerce is a recent addition to my portfolio and I must say that I am impressed thus far. Their customer support and willingness to be creative to solve an obstacle has impressed me.
BigCommerce is a dedicated ecommerce platform and is thus very suited for any store from simple to sophisticated.
Bigcommerce is a great platform for small businesses or businesses in general that do not have a great budget to start developing their e-commerce.
Cons
Every app I’ve installed has caused a problem with another app or the native functionality of the platform. Simple desires have been turned into nightmares and BigCommerce has offered no support.
There are some instances where the lack of control or access to the server has caused us to change some of our plans, but it's nothing I would call a dealbreaker.
Custom styles get very costly. Some features that should be standard are non existent.
