Composable ecommerce platform with multi-storefront, B2B, checkout customization, and marketplace channel tools.
Top-rated in Ecommerce Plugins#1 of 7 in Ecommerce Plugins by Overall Score
BigCommerce provides hosted ecommerce infrastructure for building and operating online stores across direct-to-consumer, B2B, and multi-storefront models. Its platform includes Page Builder visual editing, optimized checkout, Multi-Storefront, B2B Edition, Catalyst storefront tooling, and channel connections for marketplaces and social commerce, with an app marketplace for extending store operations.
BigCommerce's multi-storefront architecture allows brands to use one back office for separate audience-facing stores, while its B2B Edition adds company accounts, quote workflows and purchasing permissions. Headless implementations can connect external presentation layers to the commerce backend; that flexibility usually entails more implementation work than choosing a standard theme.
