    Chose BigCommerce
    We started our online quest with PrestaShop many years ago. As a small startup then, Free had an amazing sound to it. It served its useful purpose but was held together with bubblegum and duct tape. The included functionality was always buggy and we needed to pay a coder to …

    With BigCommerce you have great support (not with the open-source alternatives) without the high order fee that comes with Shopify. You also never have to worry about server settings or up-time. And you still have a lot of freedom with the design and functionality.

    Interestingly, this choice was made by a member of our Accounting Department after thorough research, who was computer savvy but not at all a developer. I took over wielding the platform to our needs just as I became part of the company, but I'm a developer so many things were …

    Chose PrestaShop
    It's a no-brainer for e-commerce stores. BigCommerce and Magento both far out-distanced PrestaShop in every major category. If you're just getting into e-commerce, I would highly recommend either BigCommerce or Magento. Their online documentation and support far outweigh any …

    Chose PrestaShop
    In the past I have used Magento, which is a very popular platform, but personally it didn't sit well with me because of the complexity of the back-end and how inconvenient it was for developers. Shopify is more for a quick setup and hands-off approach. It's good for those who …
