BigCommerce vs Salesforce Commerce Cloud

BigCommerce is a flexible platform that easily integrates with existing systems, so you have the agility needed to scale quickly — and cost-effectively. 

BigCommerce vs Salesforce Commerce Cloud: Why businesses are making the switch

Craft endless commerce possibilities with our flexible ecommerce platform designed to help you exceed customer expectations.

Freedom to innovate and experiment

Locking your capabilities on one platform may sound simple — until you want to make a change. If you choose a third-party over Salesforce's add-on services, you’ll inevitably face additional obstacles and costs. With 90% of the platform exposed via APIs, BigCommerce makes it easy to build custom apps and integrations, launch into new markets and scale across channels.

Lower total cost of ownership

Smart businesses must invest and prioritize revenue-driving activities. But an implementation on Salesforce Commerce Cloud can easily cost $250K+. Plus, you’re locked into a 3-to-5-year contract. BigCommerce offers multiple plans coupled with predictable flat-rate pricing, so you can make financial plans without surprises.

Launch fast and stay agile

Brands need to react quickly to ever-changing shopper expectations. BigCommerce makes it easy for anyone to use the platform, so you can launch your store fast and easily make updates — no developer expertise necessary. With Salesforce, even small changes can be difficult to make due to all the custom development. 

Sell B2C and B2B on one platform

BigCommerce enables you to consolidate your B2C and B2B channels into a single platform — helping you maximize efficiency and avoid bottlenecks. On the other hand, Salesforce offers B2C and B2B separately — which can drive up costs, pile on complexity and eat away at development resources.

Migration success stories

“Since our launch on BigCommerce in July 2019, Burrow has evolved from a single product, single channel, single vendor business to a multi-product, multi-channel, multi-vendor business, and our previous ecommerce platform just wasn't capagle of handling those changes.”

“BigCommerce helped us move away from operating on multiple back-end systems that didn’t talk to each other well and, at times led to a less than ideal consumer experience. Being on just one platform creates a much more seamless experience for the consumer.”

“Unlike our previous platform, we wanted an easy-to-use API that had full level of functionality so we could write our own integration. We got that with BigCommerce. We got a platform that was hosted and a platform that took a lot of stress off us by handling a lot of the PCI compliance process.”
