Best E-Commerce Platforms
Building an e-commerce store in 2021 is confusing but with the right eCommerce platform, you’ll be able to design a store, source products, advertise them and make cold hard cash, all without leaving your office.
In this article we compare 2 of the most popular, Big Commerce & Shopify and call out their strengths and weaknesses below.
#1: BigCommerce – rated best. Standard plan starts at $29.95, includes unlimited products, file storage and bandwidth and staff accounts.
#2: Shopify – Basic plan starts at $29 per month and it is best for new businesses or online businesses new to in-person selling. Free 14 day trial and no credit card required.
Our Conclusion
BigCommerce has an incredible amount of sales features already built-in to your store from the get-go. They have a better selection of built-in tools and a complete lack of transaction fees.
Shopify is a good second choice offering all-in-one commerce platform to start, run, and grow a business. Shopify helps you set up your store in minutes and bring your brand to life using their easy Drag-and-drop store builder.
Both platforms offer similar prices but if you are looking for a better value for money, we recommend trying BigCommerce first.
