BigCommerce Development
BigCommerce is a powerful SaaS commerce platform that excels in specific scenarios: high-SKU catalogs, multi-storefront architectures, and B2B commerce. It offers strong native features, flexible APIs, and a headless-ready architecture.
We build custom BigCommerce storefronts that go beyond templates, creating branded experiences optimized for conversion and performance.
What We Build
Custom Stencil Themes
BigCommerce's Stencil framework provides a solid foundation for custom theme development:
- Custom designs that match your brand identity
- Responsive layouts optimized for mobile conversion
- Complex product page templates for configurable products
- Custom category and search result layouts
- Performance-optimized asset loading
Headless Commerce
BigCommerce's headless architecture is one of the platform's strongest differentiators:
- Next.js or Nuxt front-ends connected via GraphQL Storefront API
- Full design freedom with BigCommerce handling cart, checkout, and order management
- Multi-channel publishing (web, mobile, kiosk, marketplace)
- Content from your CMS of choice (Contentful, Sanity, WordPress)
Multi-Storefront
BigCommerce's multi-storefront feature lets you run multiple branded storefronts from a single BigCommerce instance:
- Shared product catalog with storefront-specific pricing
- Separate domains, themes, and content per storefront
- Unified order management and reporting
- Locale-specific settings (currency, language, tax)
B2B Commerce
BigCommerce B2B Edition provides enterprise buying features:
- Company accounts with multiple buyers
- Role-based permissions and spending limits
- Quote request and approval workflows
- Customer-specific pricing and catalogs
- Purchase order and net terms support
Integrations
We connect BigCommerce to your operational stack:
- ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks, Dynamics)
- PIM platforms (Akeneo, Salsify, inRiver)
- Marketing automation (Klaviyo, HubSpot, Mailchimp)

Common questions
Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.
BigCommerce is strong for brands with large catalogs (50,000+ SKUs), complex variant requirements, or multi-storefront needs where you want a single back-end managing multiple front-end experiences. It also has robust native B2B features. Shopify Plus has a larger app ecosystem and developer community.
Yes. BigCommerce's headless capabilities are excellent. We build front-ends with Next.js or Nuxt connected to BigCommerce via their GraphQL Storefront API, giving you full design control with BigCommerce handling commerce logic.
Absolutely. We audit theme performance, optimize images and assets, improve Core Web Vitals, fix conversion bottlenecks, and streamline checkout flows. We also audit third-party apps that may be degrading performance.
Yes. We implement B2B Edition features including company accounts, buyer roles and permissions, shared shopping lists, quote management, and customer-specific pricing. We also build custom B2B workflows when the native features don't fully cover your requirements.
