// the basics
What is BigCommerce development?
BigCommerce development is designing, building, and customizing an online store on BigCommerce, an open-SaaS ecommerce platform. Open SaaS means you get a hosted, maintained platform with open APIs underneath, so you are not boxed in: themes, checkout, B2B rules, and integrations can all be customized, and the storefront can run headless against any front end.
For mid-market DTC and B2B brands, that openness is the draw. There are no per-sale transaction fees, the API connects to almost anything, B2B Edition handles trade pricing and portals natively, and you can run multiple storefronts and currencies from one admin. It is a platform built to scale with a growing catalog rather than one you outgrow.
We build BigCommerce stores for DTC and B2B brands, set up B2B Edition for trade buyers, connect apps and ERPs through the API, build headless front ends where they earn their keep, and migrate stores from Magento, WooCommerce, or other platforms without losing SEO. You own and run what we build.

Working together

Most builds and migrations run from a few weeks to a few months, depending on catalog size and B2B complexity. You get a phased timeline with milestones after a short scoping call.
Do we own the BigCommerce store you build?

Do you work with US BigCommerce brands?
Yes, most of the brands we work with are US-based, across DTC and B2B, with a decade-plus of commerce builds behind us.
