BigCommerce Development & Migration Services
Enterprise Features Without the Enterprise Overhead
BigCommerce ships a lot of what other platforms sell as apps — multi-storefront, B2B pricing, faceted search, no transaction fees. We build custom Stencil and headless storefronts on it, and migrate merchants tired of paying per plugin.

How Much of Your Monthly Platform Bill Is Just Apps?
Add up the subscriptions covering faceted search, customer groups, multi-storefront and B2B pricing. On some platforms that stack costs more than the platform. On BigCommerce most of it is already included.
Why Choose BigCommerce for eCommerce?
More in the Box, Less on the Invoice
BigCommerce ships a lot of what competitors sell separately: faceted search, customer groups and price lists, multi-storefront from one control panel, and product options deep enough for genuinely configurable goods. Fewer apps means fewer subscriptions, fewer scripts on the page and fewer things breaking when one vendor changes an API.
It also takes no cut of your sales. You bring your own payment processor and keep the rate you negotiated, which at volume is a material difference — often the single line that decides a replatform.
- No platform transaction fees on your sales
- Faceted search and price lists included
- Multi-storefront from one control panel
Stencil & Headless BigCommerce Architecture
Stencil When It Fits, Headless When It Earns It
Most merchants are best served by a custom Stencil theme — Handlebars templates with the platform handling checkout, hosting and scaling. It is quicker to build, cheaper to maintain, and easier for your team to change without a developer standing by.
Headless earns its extra cost when you need several brand storefronts on one catalogue, a content-led experience driven by a separate CMS, or rendering Stencil cannot reach. Then we use the GraphQL Storefront API with Next.js or Nuxt and keep checkout on BigCommerce, so you get the flexibility without rebuilding the part that handles money.
- Custom Stencil themes built to stay editable
- GraphQL Storefront API for headless builds
- Checkout stays on BigCommerce either way
What BigCommerce Does Better Than the Alternatives
Four reasons merchants move to it — and what we do with each.
Multi-Storefront Included
Several brands or regions from one catalogue and one admin, with per-storefront pricing, content and currency — no separate licence per store.
Real B2B Capability
Customer groups, price lists, quotes and company accounts through B2B Edition — proper B2B behaviour on a hosted platform.
Open Checkout & Payments
Your own processor at your own rate, with no platform cut — and a checkout that can be customised rather than only themed.
Search That Ships With It
Faceted search included rather than a monthly subscription — one fewer app, one fewer script, one fewer thing to break.
End-to-End BigCommerce Development Services
From the first plan to the release after launch.
Strategy & Planning
Catalogue and option modelling, storefront structure, and an honest Stencil-versus-headless recommendation before design begins.
Custom Stencil Themes
Bespoke themes built as reusable regions and widgets, so merchandisers change layouts and campaigns without opening a ticket.
Headless Storefronts
Next.js or Nuxt front ends on the GraphQL Storefront API, with BigCommerce retained for catalogue, orders and checkout.
B2B & Multi-Storefront
B2B Edition setup, customer groups, price lists and several storefronts configured so pricing and content stay correct per audience.
Migration to BigCommerce
From Magento, Shopify or a custom platform, with products, options, customers and URL structure mapped so rankings survive the move.
Integrations & Apps
ERP, 3PL, PIM and marketplace connections over the V3 APIs and webhooks, plus private apps where no listed one fits.
Support & Optimisation
Ongoing development, script and app audits, and performance work — a hosted platform still ships whatever weight you put on the page.
Analytics, Feeds & CRO
Server-side tracking, Merchant Center and channel feeds, and conversion work tested against your funnel rather than assumed from a checklist.
We Will Compare Platforms Honestly First
Replatforming is expensive enough to be worth getting right once.
No Vendor Allegiance
We build on Magento, Shopify and WooCommerce too, so recommending BigCommerce means the numbers pointed there.
An Extension of Your Team
Direct access to the developers on your store, with trade-offs explained plainly rather than filtered through an account manager.
Cover Through Peak
A team across time zones, which counts most in the weeks where an hour of broken checkout is a quarter's target.
Estimates That Hold
Scope agreed up front, changes priced before they are built, and migration risks named at the start rather than discovered mid-move.
