If you’re planning to sell product online, you’ve probably already stumbled across solutions like Yahoo Stores (Yahoo Small Business), Volusion, 1ShoppingCart and others. BigCommerce is better than the rest though.
At our Big Commerce product review site we list our honest review of BigCommerce, other shopping carts, and how to sell your products online.
A few things about Big Commerce that stand out:
1) Start your e-store with minimum hassle
With BigCommerce’s user interface, you will have no problem setting up your account, uploading product images and start selling online. PayPal, 2CheckOut and other payment systems are supported in BigCommerce.
You can either get your own domain name (which is great for branding) or get an account as a subdomain to bigcommerce.com - for eample “mystore.bigcommerce.com”.
2) Customize and control your store design
BigCommerce comes with about 40+ ready made templates that you can use right away, no matter what you’re selling. I love the user interface for creating and editing themes.
You can read csome of our comarison reviews to see the difference:
1) 1ShoppingCart vs BigCommerce
2) Yahoo Stores vs Big Commerce
3) BigCommerce vs Volusion
You can easily change your store layout by moving elements in real time. CSS (style sheet) can also be edited easily within a few clicks.
3) Stats and insights to your overall performance
It’s annoying to admit the fact that while we have FaceBook and Twitter, the basic shopping cart software you’ll find in most places is seriously lacking in statistical tools and cool “web 2.0″ stuff that we’ve all come to love.
You get complete statistical analysis control with BigCommerce. For example, you can see the best selling items, the top customers, and even the geographical location of order using Google Maps.
You will never be in the dark as to how well your business is doing, or how it can be improved. In the long run, sales and customer retention rate will improve.
Besides the above, BigCommerce is also fully SEO-enabled, which means that your entire store will be search engine friendly. You just need to focus on making sales as you get free traffic from Google.
With the correct autoresponse software, the sky is the limit as far as your online sales is concerned.
