BigCommerce Development Australia

A platform built for growth, and for B2B

BigCommerce is a hosted eCommerce platform that gives growing and complex businesses strong built-in features, including B2B tools, multi-storefront, flexible APIs and headless options, without the overhead of running your own servers. It started in Sydney and is now used by merchants worldwide.

It’s a particularly good fit if you sell wholesale as well as retail, run more than one brand or region, or want a modern, fast storefront without the cost and complexity of a fully self-hosted platform.

Agiles helps Australian merchants choose, build and run on BigCommerce. We’re platform-neutral, so we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s the best fit, or whether Shopify, Magento or something else would serve you better.

What we deliver

BigCommerce store builds

New stores designed and built around your brand, catalogue and customers, from planning through to launch.

Custom theme development

Support and optimisation

Updates, fixes, enhancements and continuous improvement after launch.

Is BigCommerce right for you?

There’s no single best platform. A simple guide:

BigCommerce

Strong built-in B2B and multi-storefront, flexible headless options, and a SaaS model with less infrastructure to manage. Often a good fit for mid-market and larger merchants, and for businesses that sell both B2B and B2C.

Shopify and Shopify Plus

A larger app ecosystem and a simple admin, with fast launches. Great for many DTC brands.

Magento and Adobe Commerce

Deep customisation and very complex catalogues, with more hosting and maintenance responsibility.

We’ll compare them against your catalogue, B2B needs, integrations, budget and team before recommending one. See also our Shopify & Shopify Plus and Magento 2 Development services.

Headless, without the headache

BigCommerce’s Catalyst gives merchants a modern, fast headless storefront on Next.js and React, with visual editing tools for marketers, so your team can still launch pages without waiting for developers.

Headless isn’t for everyone. It adds power and flexibility, but also complexity. We’ll tell you when a well-built theme is the smarter choice, and when headless will pay off.

B2B on BigCommerce

For wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers, BigCommerce offers a native B2B suite designed to avoid piecing together third-party apps. We design B2B storefronts and buyer portals that include:

Company accounts, users and approval workflows
Customer-specific catalogues and price lists
Quotes, quick ordering and reorders
Payment terms and invoicing
Integration with your ERP, so pricing and stock stay accurate

Frequently asked questions

BigCommerce, Shopify or Magento, which should I choose?

It depends on your catalogue, B2B needs, budget and team. BigCommerce is often a strong fit for B2B, multi-storefront and headless needs, Shopify for simpler DTC stores with a large app ecosystem, and Magento for deep customisation. We’ll compare them against your requirements.

Can you migrate my store to BigCommerce?

Yes. We migrate products, customers, orders and SEO, with redirects and testing to protect your rankings. See our Replatforming & Migration service.

Does BigCommerce support B2B and wholesale?

Yes, with B2B Edition providing company accounts, buyer portals, pricing and quoting. We tailor it to your processes and ERP.

What is Catalyst, and do I need it?

Catalyst is BigCommerce’s modern headless storefront. It’s great for performance and design freedom, but a traditional theme is often simpler and cheaper. We’ll advise on which suits you.

Can I sell in more than one country or brand?

Yes, through multi-storefront and localisation features.

How much does a BigCommerce store cost?

It depends on your plan, design, integrations and apps. We provide an itemised estimate after a short discovery, including ongoing platform costs.

How long does it take to build?

A standard store can launch in a few weeks, and larger builds with integrations, B2B or headless take longer. We’ll agree a timeline after discovery.

Can you take over a store another agency built?

Yes. We start with an audit, then stabilise and improve it.

Do you support the store after launch?

Yes, with support and optimisation plans to suit you.

Who owns the store and the code?

You do.
