I should have not been so eager and commit to a one year plan. That part is on me, and I own that. However, the platform didn't perform to the needs of my company. The website design was hard to manage and finding a payment gateway was a headache. They didn't accept the one I was currently using and the other provided gateways weren't compatible for what I needed. Everything became one hurdle after another. I should have done more research, but this automation company I use highly recommended them. I reached out to customer service seeing if I could cut my contract early and they refused. I told them I couldn't get my website up and running, and my customers are unable to actually buy anything. They didn't offer any help towards structuring my website, and just told me that because I chose the one year that it stands as is despite me not using the website.BigCommerce, Inc. Response

I was super excited to move our clients over to BigCommerce but its been a nightmare. I went to set up a payment processor that BigCommerce advertises on their site and the integration is completely broken. I was told the fix is not adamant but they continue to advertise this integration. Really disappointed with the customer support and overall engineering behind BigCommerce.BigCommerce, Inc. Response

We understand an issue like this can be frustrating, but we disagree with your characterization of the facts, and conclusions drawn. While there can certainly be issues, as is the case with any software, we have many customers using our 65+ payment gateways successfully. For any issues that crop up, we prioritize efforts based on a number of criteria, but will address that issue as appropriate. We will do our best to have this issue resolved as quickly as possible, and you check the progress of this in the case section of your Community account.Review from Dianne S

We have had our account with Big Commerce for nearly 20 years. In the earlier years, tech support was great. Not so much since then. Recently, in the past few months, they upgraded their UPS shipping software and never notified their customers they were doing so. This 'upgrade' PREVENTS anyone from placing an order and we have been wracking our brains why our sales have dropped to absolutely ZERO for months!! We have had multiple conversations with UPS and Big Commerce, and supposedly taking the matter to a higher tiered support and it's been nearly a week and still NO ONE has responded! This is AWFUL CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!! I can't believe they change something in their shopping cart, don't notify their customers, continue to charge them monthly, and knowing full well that it prevents people from placing an order as the new UPS upgrade will not provide a shipping quote!!! We are beyond furious!BigCommerce, Inc. Response

We understand an issue like this can be frustrating, but we disagree with your characterization of the facts, and conclusions drawn. The issue you describe was not created by a recent change. Our legacy UPS integration was replaced in 2015 and we have provided many notifications to upgrade through the years. We try to get to all cases as quickly as possible, but much of our staff was without power last week because of inclement weather. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritized the safety of our agents, and we will certainly strive for faster responses in the future. I understand our Tier 2 and Tech Lead have each reached out and the issue is now resolved. Engaging our support team is the best way to resolve such issues.Review from Jonathan R

************** moved its website to BigCommerce, which was a HUGE MISTAKE. Our company needed a multi-channel solution for our business, and we chose BC to help with this goal. IT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER. DO NOT USE BIGCOMMERCE!!!!! First, it is impossible to even list your products adequately in the ** system. Data input is easy, but not with **. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOAD YOUR PRODUCTS so that your home website data matches the data from ********************** etc. I called and talked with "support" 3 times about all the "import errors" that were happening just uploading our product catalog. Every time "support" said that all my formatting was correct and that they did not know why the products were not uploading correctly. After speaking for hours with "support," they said our issue would be handed to the "software" team. They promised someone would get back to me within 24 to 48 hours. Then someone from "software" contacted me, and everything they told me to do was wrong. I tried to continue the dialogue to find solutions, but ** went silent. They take our money yet do NOT provide a product. It has been two weeks, and still nothing. Literal crickets. The software is buggy, and the tools to create a website are terrible compared to others like Shopify or Wix. BigCommerce is a BIG JOKE!!!! I never complain, but this company deserves these complaints because they treat their customers like garbage. They have no solutions and no communication. I DO NOT trust them to adequately host our business ($1 million+ per year) in sales. It is funny because BBB asks if you would like a resolution to the problem in their prompts, but I chose the "write a complaint" because I knew ** does NOT care and would not even try to find a solution regardless of the circumstances. I wholeheartedly recommend staying away from BigCommerce. Thanks for your time, and I hope by us writing this...we save YOU time.BigCommerce, Inc. Response

BIG COMMERCE IS A SCAM. DO NOT SEND THEM $$. They have been fraudulently charging my credit card, causing me to have to get a new credit card. When I called Big Commerce about these charges they COULD NOT TELL ME WHY THEY WERE CHARGING ME, THEY JUST WERE. Once I got new credit card they hacked that one also. THEY ARE FRAUDS. DO NOT TRUST THEM. I have to leave a star to be able to post, but THEY GET ZERO STARS FROM ME.BigCommerce, Inc. Response

We disagree with your characterizations of the facts and conclusions drawn. We cannot provide information about accounts or charges without authentication, for the safety of our merchants. If your card was fraudulently used by a third party we still need to be able to verify you have the authority as a cardholder, for your own safety. Please feel free to contact our support team 24x7 should you need assistance with this.Review from Gabriel T.

Bigcommerce is an excellent ecommerce website store host company.I started with a trial option, first week in February 2022, before making my first payment in March of 2022.I completed my necessary product and web pages in the middle of march; and my qebsite was verified by ****** search console on 25th of March; all these were accomplished because bigcommerse website platform is so direct and very easy for me that had no prior knowledge of website developement.The beauty of it is that every time l called in to speak to a customer representative, there was alway one representative to attend to me in less than 2 minutes of waiting on phone; and each one of them is so knowledgeable and professional that l was given the right solution to my problem one time. Bigcommerce representatives are very devoted to their jobs, above all they show concern to solve my ploblems every time, and they are very friendly. Thnnk you Bigcommers and all your staff members for helping me to establish my first online business with ease, and l am very greateful to you all. I recommend Bigcommerce to every one that wants to start an eccommerce webste business on line, and you will be extreemely happy for giving them a try.Review from Scott A

We moved over to Bigcommerce thinking it'd help our business grow and that it'd be a great custom solution but it was the worst idea i've had in my business career (we've done over $10M in revenue on Shopify). When we signed up it was impossible to get on a paid plan which is required to launch, took weeks. I finally got on the basic paid plan and was able to launch (the UX/UI is horrible), and we immediately got badgered by a sales person telling us we had to get on an enterprise plan. Our business was on the rocks and I made that clear to the sales person, stating that the enterprise plan might not be needed in the near future. He insisted that it wouldn't be an issue and it could be solved at any point. After we were forced into this enterprise plan for $1500 a month, we stopped hearing from anyone for months. Our business was flatlining so I asked Bigcommerce customer service to move us off the enterprise plan while we restructure and attempt to rebuild. I started hearing from a "Customer Success Manager" who insisted there was nothing I could do. I'm not quite sure how there's nothing they can do when I could just use Shopify for $90 a month and change our plan when we want to instead of being lied to and manipulated. BigCommerce has done nothing to help our business and it seems like they blatantly don't care about their clients. Bigcommerce's deception, manipulation, and lies are unacceptable.

We disagree with this characterization of the facts and, accordingly, the conclusions you have drawn from those mischaracterizations. Your business signed a contract that clearly outlined the contract term and fees, which were lower than you have stated here, and what services would be provided to you. Our Customer Success Managers received no responses to repeated outreach until you requested a downgrade. And while we offered to downgrade your services and waive any termination fees, we never received responses from you on numerous follow-**** As such, your contract and payment obligations remain in effect in accordance with their terms.Review from Custodio F

My website ran into an issue which is responsibilities of big commerce, it is an important issue, it has been 20 days passed and nobody cares. I contacted several times but they are just passing the time by saying that our engineers are looking into it,i don't know that engineer has been born yet, so i am thinking to switch this platform seriously since big commerce does not care about the customers anymoreBigCommerce, Inc.

We disagree with the facts that you have laid out and the conclusions you have drawn. Please review the terms of service to which you agreed (https://www.bigcommerce.com/terms/ ), particularly section **** that states the software is provided as-is with all faults. Our teams prioritize issues based on a number of factors and will continue to prioritize this issue as well. However, we can make no warranties, as we have stated in our Terms of Service. We will communicate via your open support case when the issue is resolved.
