BigCommerce
BigCommerce developers who build Stencil themes, Catalyst headless storefronts and API integrations on a hosted store.
BigCommerce is a hosted SaaS commerce platform: it runs the catalogue, checkout, orders and hosting, and you customise the storefront and connect it to other systems. Developers work with Stencil themes for the classic storefront, or with Catalyst, BigCommerce's Next.js-based headless storefront, plus the REST and GraphQL Storefront APIs.
Most BigCommerce work is theme changes, custom storefronts, app and ERP integrations, and migrations from other platforms. You can hire a developer by the project, by the hour or monthly, depending on whether you need a one-off build or ongoing store support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we use a Stencil theme or Catalyst for our BigCommerce store?
Stencil is the quicker, cheaper route when a customised theme meets your design and content needs. Catalyst suits stores that want a fully custom Next.js front end, heavier content or faster iteration on the front end, but it means running and maintaining a separate application.
Can you migrate our store from WooCommerce or Magento to BigCommerce?
Yes. A migration covers products, variants, customers and order history, plus 301 redirects for old URLs so search rankings carry over. We agree a data map and test run before the final cut-over.
Can BigCommerce connect to our ERP or accounting software?
Usually, yes. BigCommerce exposes REST APIs and webhooks for products, orders, inventory and customers, so a developer can build a sync or use an existing connector if one fits your system.
