Certified BigCommerce Partner Agency. Built for B2B, Headless & Composable Commerce.

BigCommerce is best suited to mid-market and enterprise brands with complex B2B requirements, multi-storefront needs, or a preference for composable/headless architecture, without the infrastructure management overhead of Magento. BigCommerce earned placement in the 2025 Paradigm B2B Combine for Mid-Market and Enterprise, was named a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce, and named one of G2’s Best Commerce Software Products of 2025. It’s particularly strong for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers digitising their B2B sales channel, and for brands that need to run B2B and B2C simultaneously from one backend.

Catalyst is BigCommerce’s composable storefront framework – a flexible starter kit that combines the customisation potential of headless architecture with the reliability, security, and scalability of a SaaS platform, built on Next.js and React. With one-click provisioning in the Control Panel, teams can launch a high-performance headless storefront in less time, and with Makeswift’s drag-and-drop visual editor, marketers can manage content independently without developer bottlenecks.If you’re building a new BigCommerce store in 2026 or undertaking a major redesign, Catalyst is the recommended starting point over Stencil for most brands prioritising performance and composability.

BigCommerce B2B Edition is a native suite of wholesale commerce tools built into the platform – no third-party apps required. It includes company accounts, quotes, custom pricing, approval workflows, requisition lists, and account-specific content for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers.According to a 2025 IDC Business Value study commissioned by BigCommerce, brands using B2B Edition reported significant gains across cost savings, productivity, and platform reliability. It supports both B2B-only and hybrid B2B+B2C operations from a single store backend.

The core differences come down to transaction fees, B2B depth, and composability. BigCommerce charges zero transaction fees on all plans – Shopify charges 0.5%–2% unless you use Shopify Payments. BigCommerce’s native B2B Edition is significantly more capable than Shopify’s wholesale tools for complex quote, approval, and account hierarchy workflows. BigCommerce supports full headless builds with Catalyst, giving businesses complete control over the frontend – ideal for teams with complex approval flows, custom product configurations, or strict regulatory requirements. Shopify Plus wins on ecosystem size, ease of use, and time-to-market for straightforward DTC brands.

BigCommerce provides a simpler, faster, and more scalable path for growth-focused teams that want composability without the overhead of Magento’s infrastructure management.

Adobe Commerce wins for businesses needing the deepest possible customisation, very large catalogues with complex pricing rules, or tight Adobe Experience Cloud integration.

BigCommerce wins for brands that want enterprise B2B capability, headless flexibility, and lower total cost of ownership, without dedicated server management, security patching, or major upgrade projects. BigCommerce’s composable storefront Catalyst provides a lower total cost of ownership than platforms like SAP Commerce Cloud or Adobe Commerce.

Yes, and it’s one of BigCommerce’s clearest strengths in 2026. You can build with Catalyst on Next.js, customise Stencil themes, or go fully headless with the GraphQL Storefront API. A B2B business might integrate BigCommerce’s headless APIs with Salesforce for CRM and Bloomreach for personalisation, creating a tailored buyer portal. A global retailer could mix payment providers regionally in one market, Adyen in another, while maintaining a consistent backend. Techtic Solutions Real-world results confirm the approach works: Movora, a vet medtech brand, migrated to BigCommerce and went headless achieving over 100% eCommerce growth in the US within months of going live.

Yes. BigCommerce’s Multi-Storefront feature lets you manage multiple brands, regions, or B2B and B2C channels from a single account, with independent storefronts, localised pricing, currencies, languages, and separate product catalogues, all controlled from one backend. Mountain Warehouse, operating 400+ stores across 5 million customers globally, launched a composable BigCommerce store using Catalyst on Vercel, Contentful, Algolia, and Stripe in April 2026 – replacing a decade-old custom system to improve scalability and reduce operational complexity. This is a strong real-world signal that BigCommerce at scale is enterprise-ready.

A standard Stencil theme build or store migration typically takes 6–12 weeks. A Catalyst headless build with ERP integration and full B2B Edition configuration typically takes 3–6 months depending on integration complexity. Scope, catalogue size, and the number of third-party integrations are the primary variables. We provide a detailed project timeline after a discovery session – not a generic estimate designed to win the project.

BigCommerce integrations include Salesforce and HubSpot for CRM workflows, enhanced Amazon Business functionality, expanded ERP connectors, and tools supporting AI personalisation and subscription billing. Feedonomics optimises product data across marketplaces, Klevu delivers AI-powered search and merchandising, and Avalara automates tax calculations globally. Native REST and GraphQL APIs connect to virtually any third-party system, and the BigCommerce app marketplace has 800+ pre-built integrations covering payments, fulfilment, marketing, analytics, and PIM.

Look for certified BigCommerce partner status, demonstrated Catalyst and headless experience (not just Stencil theme work), and case studies in your specific sector – B2B, manufacturing, multi-storefront, or DTC. Ask whether they build custom extensions via BigCommerce’s API or rely on third-party apps for everything, and verify they have ERP integration experience if that’s relevant to your operation. Agencies that lead with templates and pre-built solutions rather than discovery and architecture planning rarely deliver the custom outcomes enterprise and mid-market brands need. Ask for client references from projects of comparable complexity to yours.
