For a small or medium-sized e-commerce business, having the right technology platform is crucial. So, if you want to adopt or transition to a new e-commerce platform, you need to be sure about your choice.

BigCommerce and WooCommerce are two popular platforms making the rounds. Both help hundreds of thousands of e-commerce companies build and manage their online store effectively. Which one should you go with? Here’s a little table with the pros of both.

WooCommerce offers

  • An open-source WordPress plugin. If you have a WordPress website that you want to add an online store to, WooCommerce is your solution
  • Unlimited customization so that your website and store-front have their branding aligned
  • Excellent store-front templates
  • Intuitive to update and manage

While BigCommerce and WooCommerce have their advantages, the one you choose depends on your needs. From our experience, we find that BigCommerce is ideal for a fast-growing medium-sized business. Its large set of tools enables users to manage their storefront with ease and scale quickly. But if you are a company with a website, want to add a store-front, or are just finding your feet in the e-commerce business, WooCommerce as a WordPress plug-in is ideal for you. It lets you launch quickly and set your own pace.
