Why and When to use BigCommerce

BigCommerce is a hosted cloud ecommerce platform (SAAS solution) that offers a powerful feature set, reliable hosting, and the ability to customize and control the functionality, content and look of your online stores. The BigCommerce platform is designed to be scalable (it’ll grow with your business), allows you to sell across a number of other channels (Amazon, eBay, Facebook, and Instagram), supports multiple languages, has a POS integration, and integrates with drop shippers. There’s also a very active developer community, developing many apps (extensions).
