BigCommerce CMS
Using BigCommerce as a Content Management System
A Content Management System (CMS) is an application used to build and manage a website; more specifically, an ecommerce store.
As a CMS, BigCommerce provides you with full control over your ecommerce store. BigCommerce is an open SaaS platform, which means there is a pre-built, robust native tech stack, but you can also customize and add features as needed. This is perfect for companies that want a powerful website, the ability to scale their business and internal team over time, or need to get their website up and running quickly.
The purchase of a BigCommerce subscription gives you access to all of this and more. Additionally, the native BigCommerce tech stack is updated regularly and improved based on customer feedback. It’s ever improving in ways to help you become a stronger business. BigCommerce CMS sets a strong foundation as an ecommerce store.

BigCommerce
An Ecommerce Hosting Platform
BigCommerce is an ecommerce hosting platform that gives you the foundation, tools, and resources to create your ecommerce website. BigCommerce is an open SaaS platform (Software as a Service), so your subscription provides access to pre-built BigCommerce ecommerce features while still allowing you to install apps, integrate with external software, and customize native features to create the best store possible.
Intuitive, Easy Ecommerce Website Management with BigCommerce
The BigCommerce Admin Dashboard serves as your primary point of access for managing your BigCommerce store. From here, you can access the front end of your website (i.e., like your BigCommerce theme) or you can access features that are behind the scenes, like products, orders, customer information, marketing tools, and more. BigCommerce helps make managing your ecommerce website easy.
BigCommerce Storefront
Manage the Front-end of Your Website on BigCommerce
The Storefront is what customers will see when they visit your website. The theme, content, and products displayed in the storefront are managed on the backend (server-side).
The BigCommerce Dashboard provides access to your BigCommerce theme, apps, and marketing tools that your customers will see. It’s easy to access these features from your BigCommerce account.
Manage your Operations on BigCommerce
The backend (server side) of BigCommerce is well-organized and easy to navigate.
Manage the operations side of your business from the BigCommerce Dashboard. You can easily manage things like products, orders, customers, pricing (and more!) all from your BigCommerce account.
Connect to your ERP, CRM, PIM
BigCommerce has open APIs, so it’s possible to use an integration to connector your ERP, CRM, or PIM to your BigCommerce account. There are many pre-made integrations available for purchase to add that functionality to your website. Choosing the right integration is critical for your success. Contact us if you need assistance determining which integration is best suited for you.

BigCommerce Subscriptions
BigCommerce pricing is simple, transparent, and flexible.

You can set it up in-house or work with a BigCommerce Developer to leverage their expertise.
There are four BigCommerce subscription plans. The more premium tiers include a greater number of native BigCommerce features, while the lower tiers have fewer native features. The estimated online revenue totals below should be used as a guide to determine which plan might be right for you. However, depending on your specific business needs, one plan may be better suited for you than another. Contact Us to discuss your scenario with a BigCommerce expert.
