Moving a few thousand SKUs into BigCommerce sounds like it should be a single “import everything” operation. It isn’t. The Catalog API is built around separate resources, products, variants, and options, and each one plays by its own rules about what can be batched and what can’t. Get the order of operations wrong and you’ll […]
If you have a store built on BigCommerce and a sales team running on Salesforce, there’s a good chance the two don’t talk to each other. Orders happen on the storefront, and nobody on the CRM side sees them without someone manually copying data over. That gap causes missed follow-ups, messy reporting, and a sales […]
The browser’s default print behavior just wasn’t built with e-commerce in mind. Hit Ctrl+P on a typical BigCommerce product page, and you get the header, the nav menu, a cookie banner, and a footer with a newsletter signup, all crammed onto paper along with the one thing anyone actually wanted: the product. If you want […]
If you sell to businesses, you already know one thing: every customer wants a different price. A wholesale buyer wants a bulk rate. A long-time client wants their loyalty discount. A distributor wants a completely separate rate sheet because the contract says so. In a normal store, this turns into a mess of spreadsheets and […]
If you have ever built a category page in BigCommerce, you know the default setup. Products load in a grid, and at the bottom, there is a row of page numbers. Click 2, wait for the page to reload, click 3, wait again. It works, but it is not exactly a modern shopping experience anymore. […]
If you want to add an “Add Embroidery” option to a BigCommerce store, your first instinct might be to go looking for an app. There are a few personalization apps out there, and they’re fine. Still, they come with a monthly fee. They usually store the customer’s input somewhere outside BigCommerce, and you rarely get […]
You’ve probably seen this at a grocery store checkout. Your total is $47.35, and the machine asks if you want to round up to $48.00, with the extra 65 cents going to some charity. It’s a small ask, easy to say yes to, and it adds up to real money over time. You can do […]
For many B2B and wholesale businesses, the standard product page experience is not always enough. Customers often need to purchase multiple product variants at the same time. Instead of selecting one variant, adding it to the cart, and repeating the process, they want a faster way to build large orders. A multi-variant bulk add-to-cart feature […]
If your business works with regional sales representatives, you can add a sales rep locator for your BigCommerce store. Customers can enter their ZIP code to instantly see their assigned representative instead of emailing your support team to find out who to contact. The result will show the name, email, and phone number of the […]
Using Bigcommerce B2B Edition, you can create user accounts for your staff. You can give them access to the B2B Edition control panel, specify what they can do, and assign specific Company accounts that they will manage. There are predefined user roles in the B2B Edition that provide permissions for your staff to perform the […]
With Bigcommerce B2B Edition, your B2B customers, or buyers, can access their Company’s Buyer Portal from the storefront to manage orders, request sales quotes, and pay invoices. Every buyer has a user account, which is assigned a specific role to determine what they can view and configure within the Buyer Portal. There are 2 ways […]
After you have Set up the B2B Buyer Portal for Local Development, you will need to follow one of the following paths (Developing on Stencil or Developing for Headless) so that the buyer portal scripts are configured and injected into the storefront pages. Developing on Stencil 1. Navigate to Script Manager in your Bigcommerce admin panel […]
