BigCommerce development
BigCommerce punches above its weight for larger catalogues. We do the builds, theme work, migrations and B2B setups, plus the integration work that usually comes with them.
- Stencil themes and headless
- B2B and multi-price-list setups
- Migrations from any platform
- ERP and 3PL integration included

When BigCommerce fits
Where BigCommerce earns its keep
Big catalogue, complex options
Thousands of SKUs, variant-heavy products and multiple price lists, handled natively. No app stack required.
B2B without enterprise pricing
Company accounts, customer groups, price lists and quote flows are built into the platform, not bolted on.
You’re tired of app-fee arithmetic
No transaction fees and more built-in features. The monthly bill stays closer to the subscription price.
API-first plans, including headless
Strong APIs make BigCommerce a good engine behind a fast custom storefront, including Astro or Next.js frontends.
The work
What we do
Full builds, theme development, migrations and the plumbing to your back office. Quoted at a fixed price and supported after launch.
- Build
Store builds
Complete BigCommerce builds: catalogue architecture, payments, shipping, tax and the launch checklist. Done by people who’ve been in ecommerce a long time.
- Theme
Stencil theme development
Custom and customised Stencil themes that stay fast. Your design, without the template look.
- B2B
B2B configuration
Customer groups, price lists, company accounts and quote workflows, set up to match how you actually sell.
- Migrate
Migrations
From Shopify, Magento, Woo, Neto or legacy carts. Products, customers, orders and SEO redirects included.
- Headless
Headless storefronts
BigCommerce as the engine, with an Astro or Next.js storefront in front. For brands that want content-site speed with real commerce behind it.
- Connect
ERP, 3PL and accounting integration
NetSuite, MYOB, Xero, Cin7 and your 3PL wired in. Inventory, orders and payouts flow on their own.
Why us
We build on all four platforms. So our BigCommerce advice is neutral.
We recommend BigCommerce when it fits: usually larger catalogues, B2B requirements and API-first plans. Not because it’s the only thing we know.
The same twenty years of ecommerce applies here. Catalogue structure, shipping logic, tax and integrations are the same problems on every platform, and they decide whether a store runs well.
-
Straight platform selection
If Shopify or Magento fits your case better, you’ll hear it on the first call. With reasons, not vibes.
-
Integration depth
At this scale, most BigCommerce projects live or die on the ERP connection. That plumbing is our home ground.
-
Fast storefronts, headless or not
Tuned Stencil for most stores. A headless Astro front end when the case is real. We’ll show you the trade-offs in numbers.
How it runs

Scope call
Catalogue size, B2B needs, systems to connect, and whether BigCommerce is the right call at all.

Scope, timeline and price in writing within 48 hours.
- 3
Build
Catalogue, theme and configuration on a staging store you can click through every week.
- 4
Connect
ERP, accounting and shipping wired in, then proven with a parallel run.
- 5
Launch and support
Tested end to end, launched, and supported by the people who built it.
Fair questions
Before you ask
BigCommerce or Shopify?
Short version: Shopify wins on ecosystem, theme choice and checkout polish. BigCommerce wins on built-in B2B, big variant-heavy catalogues, no transaction fees and generous APIs. For a standard DTC brand we often say Shopify. For wholesale plus retail with an ERP, BigCommerce deserves a hard look. You’ll get a recommendation with reasons for your case, not a brochure.
Can you migrate us from our current platform?
Yes. Products, customers, order history and URL redirects, from Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Neto and most legacy carts. SEO continuity is part of the migration, not an add-on.
Is headless worth it?
For most stores, no. A well-built Stencil theme is fast and far cheaper to run. Headless earns its complexity when content is central to how you sell, you need extreme speed at scale, or the storefront needs things a theme can’t do. When it’s close, we quote both ways.
Does BigCommerce handle Australian GST and shipping properly?
Yes. GST-inclusive pricing, Australian tax settings and the local shipping platforms (AusPost, Shippit, Starshipit) all work well. The local ecosystem is smaller than Shopify’s, which is exactly why having developers matters more.
What does a BigCommerce build cost?
Every project gets a fixed quote. Standard builds sit at the accessible end, B2B and integration-heavy builds cost more, and headless storefronts sit at the top. The scope call gets you a real number within 48 hours.
