Why Replatform to BigCommerce from OpenCart?

Switching from OpenCart to BigCommerce opens the door to better performance, modern UI/UX, and robust scalability. This migration not only solves legacy issues but also empowers your store with advanced eCommerce tools BigCommerce offers. From powerful out-of-the-box features to robust B2B functionality and multi-store management, here's what you gain when you make the move.

01Improved Performance and Page Speed

BigCommerce’s hosted SaaS architecture delivers faster loading times compared to OpenCart’s self-hosted model. Reduced server load and integrated CDN support lead to better user experience, higher engagement, and SEO benefits. Fast sites convert better—simple as that.

02Easier Store Management

BigCommerce comes with an intuitive admin interface that streamlines product management, order processing, and customer tracking. No more wrestling with outdated dashboards or buggy plugins. This simplifies operations and reduces training time for your team, improving operational efficiency across the board.

03Built-In Scalability

As your traffic and product catalog grow, BigCommerce scales with you—no costly server upgrades or performance bottlenecks. Auto-scaling infrastructure, multi-channel selling, and enterprise-level security make it ideal for long-term growth. With native support for headless commerce and API-driven flexibility, future expansion is limitless.

04Enhanced Security and Compliance

BigCommerce is PCI DSS certified and constantly updated with the latest security patches. Compared to OpenCart, which relies on manual updates and third-party modules, this ensures stronger protection for your store and customers. Built-in fraud protection, SSL, and uptime monitoring keep your data secure and compliant.

05BigCommerce B2B Edition for Wholesale Success

BigCommerce’s B2B Edition offers out-of-the-box features tailored for wholesale businesses, including custom price lists, company accounts, purchase orders, and net payment terms. Unlike OpenCart, which requires custom development or third-party modules, BigCommerce delivers advanced B2B workflows natively, helping you scale your wholesale channel without friction.

06Multi-Storefront Capabilities Under One Dashboard

With BigCommerce Multi-Storefront, you can run multiple storefronts (brands, languages, regions) from a single backend. This allows you to simplify operations while tailoring each storefront’s design, catalog, and pricing for different audiences. OpenCart lacks this built-in functionality, requiring clunky workarounds or multiple installs.
