Migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify. Completely.
BigCommerce promises an open ecosystem but delivers a smaller app store and weaker checkout. Move to where the apps and conversion rate are.
Why leave BigCommerce?
BigCommerce hit its ceiling. The Shopify app ecosystem is 10x larger, the checkout is faster, and the brand is stronger.
Smaller app ecosystem
Every feature you need is a custom build.
Slower checkout conversion
Shop Pay outperforms BC checkout by ~50% on conversion.
Limited theme customization
Stencil is more rigid than Liquid + Hydrogen.
Weaker mobile experience
Shopify is mobile-first by default.
Smaller developer talent pool
Hard to hire BC developers, easy to hire Shopify ones.
Limited POS / omnichannel
Shopify POS unifies online + retail with no extra setup.
