BigCommerce Review: Shopify vs. BigCommerce vs. Magento vs. Volusion vs. 3D Cart

When it comes to online shopping carts and ecommerce content management systems, you have a lot of options to consider, but not all of them offer the same benefits in terms of usability, stability, customization and value.

BIG COMMERCE
Many platforms have made some much-needed improvements in recent months, but BigCommerce is still your best value. BigCommerce is easy to set up, easy to navigate, and includes the best SEO configurations of all the major platforms. The company’s shipping network is also superior to many of the other platforms, including Shopify. The platform isn’t perfect, of course, BigCommerce still has a long way to go when it comes to responsive design integration, but overall, it’s still your best bet for an online shopping cart.

SHOPIFY
Shopify is another popular choice. Like BigCommerce, Shopify is user-friendly, versatile, and easy to use, but unlike BigCommerce, Shopify also makes great use of responsive design, which means that you can easily build a 21st century website that looks just as good on desktops as it does on mobile devices. Unfortunately Shopify has some distinct disadvantages. For one thing, the platform uses its own programming language, called Liquid. This can get pretty confusing, and it’s completely unnecessary. The price is also a drawback for Shopify. Still, if you have limited experience with ecommerce, Shopify can make an easy, user-friendly solution.

MAGENTO
Magento was built with developers and designers in mind, so if you have a fair amount of technical knowledge, you can customize just about anything to your exact liking. This is the biggest advantage of Magento, but it’s also one of the biggest drawbacks. It’s not the easiest or most user-friendly platform, and it also runs a bit slower than BigCommerce and Shopify. While still not quite in the same league as BigCommerce, it’s pretty impressive, so if you’re looking for the ability to take full control over your site, you might want to see what Magento has to offer.

VOLUSION
Volusion is another choice that you may have heard mentioned a time or two. This extremely popular platform has been around for quite a while now, and the company is constantly expanding and improving the available features. Volusion offers good SEO tools, easy setup, one-page checkout and a reasonable price tag. However, BigCommerce offers more data for the same amount of money.
The Volusion interface and templates aren’t as stylish as the ones you’ll find on other platforms; still there are enough good features to make Volusion worthy of high placement on the list.

3D CART
Finally, we have 3DCart. Unfortunately, 3DCart just doesn’t compare to the versatility and customization abilities of the other platforms. With fewer shipping providers and a clunky content management system, 3DCart just isn’t your ideal choice.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Price
Ease of Use
Marketing Tools
Conversion Tools
SEO

THE FINAL VERDICT
BigCommerce is an all-in-one solution that allows you to set up a website, domain name, shopping cart, email account, payment gateway, product catalog and much more, all in one streamlined process.
