  • Review of Big Commerce

    Tell me something, how angry are you of all those review sites of Big Commerce out there?

    Is it just the same old stuff being repeated again and again?

    If they are, than be very glad that you have found this review, because the intention here is to be a little unique, to speak to you about things that a lot of the other review sites are NOT doing.. It’s not the same old information that’s out there. I wouldn’t do that to you.

    I can hear how relieved you are already that you come across this site - and I can hear you thanking me already. So if it’s information about BigCommerce you are after, this guide is just what you need to be reading.

    After all, you are about to read a BigCommerce Review. Ok let’s get into this BigCommerce review. I think I have wasted enough of your time already, so without any further interruptions let’s get into this Big Commerce Review shall we?.

    Ok, so what will I be covering in the content to come? Some good stuff you would imagine after an introduction like that right? Well, I hope I don't disappoint..

    The table of contents, if you will is made up of PCI compliant information, Search Engine Optimization, Selling on that monster site called Facebook and Shopping comparison export

    Big Commerce is PCI Compliant
    PCI is very important, please pay attention to this point if you have never heard of this term in the past. Firstly it is an acronym that stands for Payment Card Industry, and being PCI compliant means satisfying the security requirements that they enforce.

    Now A lot of the top ecommerce platforms out there are PCI Compliant - but some are not. If you find one that is not, it’s best you don’t give them the light of day. Would you like to know why being compliant is such a big thing? That is what I’m covering next

    Big Commerce have passed the following things that make it PCI Compliant such as they protect stored cardholder data, they encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open public networks, develop and maintain secure systems and applications, they regularly test security systems and processes

    As mentioned, some ecommerce shopping carts do not have these above security checks so it’s best not to use them and stick with one who has such as BigCommerce

    Shopping Comparison Export
    Are you serious about making money online? I mean are you really really serious? If so, this feature is right up your ally. So for those that are looking to make money online and live the lifestyle you want - this feature must be used to serious effect.

    This talk about the feature is significant because I really need you to understand how significant it really is.  I can't stress it enough.

    Have you heard of Internet pages like Beso, Bizrate, MySimon, NexTag,PriceGrabber, Shopping.com and Shopzilla?These are the websites that the Shopping Comparison Export tools allows you to get on very easily.

    These Internet pages are masters at getting a lot of traffic - so it's in your interest to be present there. Yes you will be taking a little bit less of a margin - but you will be making so much more money.

    Big Commerce Allows you to Sell on Facebook
    Get up off the bench. If you are not displaying your products on Facebook, that’s where you are, on the bench. Or you are definitely not where the rest of the online world is. Facebook now has over half a billion registered members. That's a whole lot of people to market your product to.

    What BigCommerce will do for you is add a "shop" tab to your Facebook fan page, and export the products you want to your page.

    Shoppers will be able to click through onto the product, through to your Big Commerce store and purchase your item.

    So are you looking to take advantage of Social Networks?, If your answer was yes, you need to use this feature.

    Search Engine Optimization with Big Commerce is Epic
    Search engines rely on SEO to rank Internet pages. Even though this process doesn’t happen overnight, it’s still worthwhile pursuing.

    The fundamental thing here is to set up web pages properly in the beginning so you can give yourself the best chance to get in that all vital position 1 in search engines.

    When creating new pages, BigCommerce sets out the structure in a nice way that search engines love to read. For example, it knows to add your title into the appropriate H1 tag, and so on.

    There’s the walk through on the 4 most important features that Big Commerce has to offer. There is a lot more to talk about for those serious about getting into the finer details of BigCommerce to make a purchasing decision.

  • It’s The Battle Between Shopify vs BigCommerce

    There has been a lot of conversation recently about which ecommerce software to go with. There has been a battle going on over the years which is BigCommerce Vs Shopify. The choice is hard. Both ecommerce solutions are very convincing so it makes it hard to choose who to go with.

     

    What most people need to realize is that there are quite major differences between the two and that is the topic of discussion here. One thing that is most crucial is to understand what you need from an ecommerce shopping cart. The more clear you are on what it is you want from an ecommerce shopping cart, the better you can make your decisions.

     

    There is a major difference between the two of these bad boys. BigCommerce is massively feature packed with stuff, to the point where you can be confident that you have all that you need right there in the software.

     

    Shopify have taken a different approach to their software. Instead of adding just about every functionality they can think of, they just added the basics and they give you to add on the features that you want. This is very similar to how the iPhone, Android and other mobile market app store works.

     

    There is not a whole lot of moving when it comes to the price. Although the difference with pricing is that BigCommerce charges for excess bandwidth over a certain amount, and Shopify charge a percentage transaction fee.

     

    Basically once you start making money from these sites, and the bigger you get, the more money they will charge you to run it.

     

    So BigCommerce Vs Shopify, who wins? I would have to say BigCommerce - because they offer so much more in terms of features. I like the idea of having everything in my software just in case I need it one day.

     

    Well there you have it, BigCommerce Vs Shopify I hope this got you a little interested and helped you better make a decision on which one you would like to go with. Be sure to check out the www.lookatbigcommerce.com website for more details about BigCommerce.
