Shopify is still the best :)

Interested to know whether, in hindsight, now that ChoppingBlocks.com has been built, Shopify over Bigcommerce was still the right decision, in particular when considering its API

What seemed to be a great option at first turned out to be not so good later on. Even though I got used to a complexity of their internal interface (which is not so bizarre as it seems at the first sight), their dramatic rise in monthly fees took me by surprise. Additionally to that, I noticed that, on average, my colleagues on Shopify performed much better than I did in terms of SEO. We unitized the same practices basically, but I still would always be few positions behind.
Eventually, this urged me to move to Shopify (btw super easy with this thing https://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/shopping-cart-migration-options/2765-bigcommerce-to-shopify-migration) and I’ve never happened to regret my choice since.

Just curious, what’s your opinion on the new BigCommerce pricing model and how is it going to change your relationship with BC? Are you going to migrate your stores over to Shopify?

On April 1st, our pricing increases from $79 to over $350 per month on BigCommerce. And we are looking to migrate to Shopify.

Thanks again.

Hey Premal, great being able to chat with you on a consulting basis and understanding your needs a bit better. You’ve got a great business model that I can see and the tech is a very doable part of your operations that shouldn’t give you too much trouble. I’ll be rooting for you and hopefully we can do an post on your growing business on EcomCrew in the future!

I have read the entire site and am now questioning the direction I was taking. I am currently on Network Solutions and it is a stagnant platform. It was really good a few years ago until web.com took over. I recently chose 3dcart over bc and shopify due to features, pricing, and certain options. I now am not sure. Bc may work for my needs, but shopify definitely will not due to limitations on payment because of a certain product line not being supported by stripe payments. It would force me to pay the extra .5% over my merchant fees. Or pay an enormous amount monthly for an enterprise account. With BC, the issue arises with having to be on a tier 1 enterprise account in order to get dedicated ssl sitewide. They no longer allow it on the other plans. Should I be running from 3dcart? It seems like there are some unhappy customers, but that may be due to very specific issues they are having and not necessarily reflect what is happening to most. Have you had a chance to look at their upcoming v7 release? It seems to be very competitive with both bc and shopify. What am I missing.
