BigCommerce offers the flexibility Shopify can’t, especially for businesses ready to scale. Whether it’s multi-storefront capabilities, B2B features, or headless architecture, a Shopify to BigCommerce migration helps brands level up their ecommerce infrastructure.
BigCommerce’s Open SaaS model blends the ease of a hosted solution with the freedom of full customization. Unlike Shopify’s more closed ecosystem, BigCommerce provides robust APIs and flexible developer tools that allow deep integrations, unique UX experiences, and third-party system connections. Whether you're integrating an ERP or building custom checkout logic, Open SaaS lets you scale without re-platforming again. This architectural freedom is ideal for mid-market and enterprise brands that require agility without sacrificing stability.
BigCommerce is built with B2B functionality baked right in. From volume-based pricing, companies specific pricings, and, custom catalogs to account-based payment terms and quote management, BigCommerce provides powerful native tools tailored to wholesale and manufacturer needs. Companies can manage customer groups, tax rules, and price lists with ease while providing a modern B2C-like experience for B2B buyers. These built-in features reduce complexity and lower long-term costs compared to stitching together solutions on Shopify.
BigCommerce is designed for composable commerce, making it easy to go headless with modern front-end framework like Next.js. Its decoupled backend connects seamlessly to custom frontends via GraphQL and REST APIs, giving you full control over performance, design, and UX. Whether you're optimizing for speed, SEO, storytelling, or omnichannel integration, BigCommerce empowers your developers to create lightning-fast digital experiences without backend limitations. For brands looking to innovate, this headless-ready foundation is a game-changer.
BigCommerce lets you run multiple storefronts—localized, branded, or segmented—from a single backend dashboard. You can manage inventory, customers, and orders across all storefronts without duplicating effort. This is ideal for global brands operating in different countries, franchises with unique branding, or businesses running niche sub-brands. Shopify requires separate Plus accounts or third-party hacks to achieve this, whereas BigCommerce delivers it natively. You’ll save on licensing costs and streamline operations with one platform to rule them all.
With BigCommerce, you’re no longer limited to a rigid checkout. The platform offers a powerful Checkout SDK and access to server-to-server APIs, enabling advanced customizations for the checkout experience. Whether you're optimizing for mobile conversions, A/B testing payment flows, or customizing shipping flows. BigCommerce gives you the control you need. Unlike Shopify, which restricts checkout changes without Shopify Plus, BigCommerce gives merchants at every level the power to reduce friction and boost sales.
While Shopify often relies on paid third-party apps to achieve advanced functionality, BigCommerce offers more features out of the box—reducing long-term costs. With fewer dependencies and enterprise-level tools included, you’ll pay less in app fees, transaction charges, and custom development over time. Combined with its scalability and robust support, BigCommerce offers a lower total cost of ownership for brands serious about growth. You'll invest once in a future-proof platform instead of endlessly patching limitations with costly plugins.
Typical migrations take 3–6 weeks depending on store complexity, number of SKUs, theme requirements, and custom app rebuilds. We follow a structured project timeline with clear milestones—from discovery to post-launch QA—to ensure minimal downtime and a seamless transition to your new BigCommerce store.
