When BigCommerce fits
Where BigCommerce earns its keep
Big catalogue, complex options
Thousands of SKUs, variant-heavy products and multiple price lists - handled natively, without the app stack other platforms need.
B2B without enterprise pricing
Company accounts, customer groups, price lists and quote flows built into the platform rather than bolted on.
You’re tired of app-fee arithmetic
No transaction fees and more built-in features means the monthly bill stays closer to the subscription price.
API-first plans - including headless
Strong APIs make BigCommerce a good engine behind a fast custom storefront, including Astro or Next.js frontends.

Why us
Platform-neutral, which is why our BigCommerce advice is worth having
We build on all four major platforms, so BigCommerce gets recommended when it genuinely fits - usually larger catalogues, B2B requirements and API-first plans - and not because it’s the only thing we know.
The same twenty years of ecommerce applies here: catalogue structure, shipping logic, tax and integrations are platform-agnostic problems, and they’re the ones that decide whether a store runs well.
-
Honest platform selection
If Shopify or Magento fits your case better, you’ll hear it on the first call - with reasons, not vibes.
-
Integration depth
Most BigCommerce projects at this scale live or die on the ERP connection. That plumbing is our home ground.
-
Fast storefronts, headless or not
Tuned Stencil for most stores; a headless Astro front end when the case is real. We’ll show you the trade-offs in numbers.

Fair questions
Before you ask
BigCommerce or Shopify?
The short version: Shopify wins on ecosystem, theme choice and checkout polish; BigCommerce wins on built-in B2B, big variant-heavy catalogues, no transaction fees and API generosity. For a standard DTC brand we often say Shopify; for wholesale-plus-retail with an ERP, BigCommerce earns a hard look. You’ll get the recommendation with reasons for your case, not a brochure.
Can you migrate us from our current platform?
Yes - products, customers, order history and URL redirects from Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Neto and most legacy carts. SEO continuity is part of the migration, not an add-on.
Is headless worth it?
For most stores, honestly, no - a well-built Stencil theme is fast and far cheaper to run. Headless earns its complexity when content is central to how you sell, you need extreme speed at scale, or the storefront has requirements a theme can’t reach. We quote both ways when it’s close.
Does BigCommerce handle Australian GST and shipping properly?
Yes - GST-inclusive pricing, Australian tax settings and the local shipping platforms (AusPost, Shippit, Starshipit) all work well. It’s a smaller ecosystem than Shopify’s locally, which is exactly why having developers matters more.
What does a BigCommerce build cost?
Fixed quotes per project: standard builds at the accessible end, B2B and integration-heavy builds larger, headless storefronts at the top. The scope call gets you a real number within 48 hours.
