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, Shopify & Big Commerce and call out their strengths and weaknesses below.
#1: Shopify – rated best. 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.
#2: BigCommerce – Standard plan starts at $29.95, includes unlimited products, file storage and bandwidth and staff accounts.
Our Conclusion
Simply put, it’s hard to beat Shopify! Shoipfy powers over 1,000,000 businesses worldwide, they offer all-in-one commerce platform that has an eco-system of products & services to help you set up and manage your online store.
BigCommerce is a good second choice also designed to convert, their site includes advanced, conversion-boosting features.
Both platforms offer similar prices but if you are just starting out in e-commerce we recommend trying Shopify first, it had a shorter learning curve, more apps/services, and scales better than Big Commerce.
