Custom BigCommerce development services, end to end

The work catalog-heavy and B2B stores need that off-the-shelf themes and apps cannot cover, built and maintained by one senior team.

Custom development
Custom functionality built on BigCommerce's open APIs: faceted search, pre- and post-checkout upsells, product configurators, multi-address shipping, and measurement price calculators that off-the-shelf apps cannot deliver.
Checkout customization
Custom fields, logic, and a fully branded checkout built on Open Checkout and the Checkout SDK, with one-page checkout tuned for conversion.
Migrations & replatforming
Moves to BigCommerce from Volusion, Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom carts, with catalog, customers, orders, and SEO carried across through a one-to-one 301 map.
B2B & wholesale
Company accounts, customer-specific catalogs and price lists, net terms, quote and reorder flows, and tax-exempt purchasing, built on BigCommerce B2B Edition and extended where the native tools stop.
ERP, CRM & PIM integrations
NetSuite, Salesforce, Brightpearl, 3PL and fulfillment, Avalara, QuickBooks, and Klaviyo connected to BigCommerce through tested, documented syncs that keep the back office in step with the store.
Design, UX & CRO
Mobile-first, ADA-minded theme development on Stencil or a headless Catalyst front end, tuned for Core Web Vitals and shaped by conversion testing, so the storefront is built around how your customers browse and buy.

Custom apps

Apps the BigCommerce marketplace doesn't have

Off-the-shelf apps cover the basics. Optimum7 builds the custom functionality they can't, wired into every stage of the store. Here is a sample at each stage, part of 700+ we've shipped.

Custom solutions we've built

When an off-the-shelf app cannot do the job, we build it into the store. Here is one of the 700+ custom functionalities Optimum7 has shipped, this one on BigCommerce.

The five-step custom product builder Optimum7 built into the EcoEnclose storefront on BigCommerce: choose box style, strength, dimensions, and quantity with live pricing
EcoEnclose · Custom product builder

A custom product builder, built into BigCommerce

Problem

EcoEnclose sells custom-sized, eco-friendly packaging. Shoppers had no way to configure a box and price it without back-and-forth with the team.

Solution

Optimum7 built a five-step custom product builder on the storefront, so buyers choose shape, size, and options, then order in a single flow.

How much does BigCommerce development cost?

A custom BigCommerce build typically runs $25,000 to $80,000, rising to $75,000 and up for headless or complex B2B work. Cost scales with catalog size, custom functionality, and integrations.

Project typeWhat it coversTypical costTimeline
Theme build & launchDesign, Stencil theme build, core apps, launch$15k–$40k4–8 weeks
Custom BigCommerce buildMost commonCustom checkout, app logic, B2B, integrations$25k–$80k8–14 weeks

Headless / B2B replatformCatalyst build or B2B portal, plus ERP sync$75k–$250k+12–24 weeks

Platform licensing is separate: BigCommerce starts at $39/month, with no transaction fees on supported payment providers. The build figures above are one-time project costs.

BigCommerce vs Shopify Plus: which fits your store?

Both are strong, fully hosted platforms. BigCommerce leads on transaction fees, open APIs, and catalog depth; Shopify on app-ecosystem breadth. Here is the honest split for a growing B2B or catalog-heavy store.

Why established B2B brands choose BigCommerce

For catalog-heavy and wholesale stores, BigCommerce removes the drag that slows scaling: transaction fees, closed APIs, and bolt-on B2B.

No platform transaction fees

Keep more of every sale: BigCommerce charges no transaction fees on its supported payment providers, across every plan.

Open and API-first

An open back end with Catalyst and the GraphQL Storefront API, so a custom or WordPress front end runs on BigCommerce and your data flows to BI and ERP.

Native B2B and wholesale

B2B Edition built in: company accounts, customer-group price lists, quotes, and net terms, with no third-party app required.

Built for large catalogs

High product, variant, and option limits with fast faceted search, for catalog-heavy and distribution stores that outgrow lighter platforms.

Hosted, secure, no servers

Fully hosted and PCI DSS compliant at the platform level, so there are no servers to patch and no surprise downtime at peak.

Multi-storefront reach

One back end behind multiple storefronts for separate brands, regions, or B2B and B2C, managed from a single catalog.

Replatforming to BigCommerce, without losing what works

Most BigCommerce projects start as a move off Volusion, Magento, or a legacy cart. We carry the catalog, orders, and SEO across, then rebuild the custom pieces on BigCommerce's open stack, tested against the original before cutover.

What moves across

Optimum7 migrates stores off Volusion, Magento, or WooCommerce and carries everything that makes the store work, verified against the original before cutover.

  • Catalog and customers moved with variants, options, customer groups, and B2B price lists intact.
  • Orders and history transferred with parity reports confirming counts match the source.
  • SEO carried across: one-to-one 301 redirects, titles, metadata, canonicals, and structured data.
  • Custom functionality rebuilt and verified against the original behavior.

Optimum7 has completed 1,000+ migrations and moved 3,000,000+ pages across every major platform. See the eCommerce migration services page for the full process.

BigCommerce, in plain terms

The definitions buyers look up while scoping a BigCommerce project.

The platform

What is BigCommerce?

BigCommerce is a fully hosted SaaS commerce platform. Plans run from $39 per month (Core) to custom (Performance), with no transaction fees on supported payment providers, native B2B, and open APIs for custom and headless builds.

B2B & wholesale

What is BigCommerce B2B Edition?

B2B Edition is BigCommerce's native wholesale toolkit: company accounts, customer-group price lists, quote requests, purchase orders, and net terms, so manufacturers and distributors sell B2B without bolting on a third-party app.

Architecture

What is headless BigCommerce?

Headless separates the storefront from the back end: a custom front end such as Catalyst (Next.js) or WordPress calls BigCommerce through the GraphQL Storefront API. It buys performance and design control, in exchange for a larger build than a themed Stencil store.

Is BigCommerce worth it?

A straight answer, and the honest triggers that tell you when to make the move.

The verdict

Worth it for catalog-heavy and B2B stores that want native wholesale and no transaction-fee drag, without self-managing infrastructure the way Magento demands.

Read the full comparison →
Choose BigCommerce when
  • You sell B2B or wholesale and want native price lists and quotes.
  • You want to avoid platform transaction fees as you scale.
  • You run a large, complex catalog with many variants.
  • You want open APIs and headless without a Magento ops burden.
Hold off if
  • You run a small, simple catalog a lighter plan handles.
  • You are already deep in the Shopify app ecosystem.
  • You need the widest third-party app marketplace above all else.

Scope locked before any code

A written scope is the first deliverable on every project, so cost and timeline are fixed before development starts, and each stage clears a checkpoint before the next begins.

1

Discovery and requirements

We map your catalog, integrations, custom features, and traffic before anything is scoped.

2

Written scope and price

Every deliverable, milestone, and cost documented and approved, so there are no surprises.

3

Design and testable mockups

UX and theme design delivered as live, reviewable mockups before a line of code is written.

4

Development and integration

Theme, functionality, checkout, and integrations built to the approved spec and tested as they land.

5

QA, launch, and cutover

Functional, performance, and SEO testing on a staging clone, then a staged launch with redirects live.

6

Post-launch growth

Indexation, Core Web Vitals, new features, and CRO testing tracked after launch.

Why choose Optimum7 over an offshore BigCommerce development company?

A senior, U.S.-based team that has only ever built online stores, accountable for the store long after launch.

Senior developers, no outsourcing

Your project is built in-house by a U.S.-based senior team. The people who scope the work are the people who build it.

Development, SEO, and CRO under one roof

One team owns the build, the rankings, and the conversion rate, so there are no gaps between a dev agency and a separate marketing agency and no one passing the blame.

The team stays after launch

Development does not stop on go-live day. Platform updates, new features, and CRO testing continue on a retainer or project basis, so the store keeps improving.

Deep BigCommerce track record

A BigCommerce Partner since 2016 with 700+ custom functionalities and 5+ apps on the BigCommerce App Store, across B2B, manufacturing, and distribution.

BigCommerce SEO that protects your rankings

Development and SEO live under one roof, so a rebuild or migration grows organic traffic with your rankings protected.

Organic trafficHeld through launch

SEO carried across on migration

A one-to-one 301 redirect map, titles, metadata, canonicals, and structured data moved intact, with indexation watched at 7, 30, and 90 days. eCommerce SEO services.

Faceted navigation, done right

Filters and category pages that rank, without the index bloat and duplicate URLs that sink large BigCommerce catalogs.

Core Web Vitals and AI visibility

Speed, clean semantic markup, and answer-first content so pages win in search and get cited by AI engines. Answer-engine optimization.

We tried to migrate from Volusion on our own and it was a disaster. Optimum7 handled our data migration to BigCommerce in 90 days, kept our Google traffic, and increased our organic search ranking after the move.

BigCommerce development questions

A custom BigCommerce build from a specialist agency typically runs $25,000 to $80,000, with headless and complex B2B projects reaching $75,000 and up. A theme build and launch can start around $15,000. Cost scales with catalog size, custom functionality, and the number of integrated systems. BigCommerce platform licensing, from $39 per month up to custom Enterprise pricing, is paid to BigCommerce separately from build cost. Optimum7 gives you a fixed scope and price before the project starts.

A custom BigCommerce build runs 8 to 14 weeks from discovery to launch. A replatform from Volusion, Magento, or WooCommerce runs 8 to 16 weeks, and a headless Catalyst build or large B2B project runs 12 to 24 weeks. Every project includes a fixed timeline set during scoping.

A BigCommerce development agency builds and customizes stores beyond what themes and apps cover: custom functionality on the open APIs, B2B and wholesale on B2B Edition, platform migrations, ERP and CRM integrations, and checkout and storefront work on Stencil or a headless Catalyst front end. Optimum7 also owns SEO and CRO in house, so the build, the rankings, and the conversion rate stay with one team.

Yes. We build custom fields, logic, and fully branded checkouts on BigCommerce's Open Checkout and Checkout SDK, and tune the one-page checkout for conversion. For headless builds, the checkout is composed through the Storefront API alongside the rest of the custom front end.

Yes. We build headless storefronts on Catalyst, BigCommerce's Next.js framework, connected through the GraphQL Storefront API, and we also run BigCommerce behind a custom WordPress front end. Headless is a fit when the payoff in speed or custom experience justifies the larger build and maintenance over a themed Stencil store.

Yes. Optimum7 has completed 1,000+ migrations. We migrate from Volusion, Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom carts, carrying catalog, customers, orders, and content across. SEO is preserved with a one-to-one 301 redirect map, titles, metadata, canonicals, and structured data, and we monitor indexation and rankings after launch. See the eCommerce migration services page for the full process.

Yes. We build on BigCommerce B2B Edition with company accounts, customer-group price lists, quote requests, purchase orders, net terms, and tax-exempt purchasing, and we extend it with custom development where the native tools stop. B2B and B2C can run in one store or across separate storefronts, depending on your operation.

Yes. We connect BigCommerce to NetSuite, Salesforce, Brightpearl, and other ERP, CRM, and OMS systems, to 3PL and fulfillment platforms, and to tools like Avalara, QuickBooks, and Klaviyo. Integrations are built and tested so inventory, orders, and customer data stay in sync between the store and the back office.

No. BigCommerce charges no platform transaction fees on orders processed through its supported payment providers, including Stripe, PayPal, and Adyen, on every plan. A small open-provider fee applies only if you process through a gateway outside that supported list, so most stores pay zero platform fees on sales.

Optimum7 is a BigCommerce Elite Partner that builds B2B and wholesale stores on B2B Edition with company accounts, customer-group price lists, quotes, and net terms, extended with custom development where the native tools stop. Optimum7 has shipped 700+ custom functionalities and completed 1,000+ migrations, with a senior U.S. team that owns development, SEO, and CRO in house. Named B2B and catalog builds include RC Superstore, EcoEnclose, and Arlyn Scales.

Look for a BigCommerce partner that can name its live stores, shows case studies with real outcomes in your type of store, builds custom functionality in house, and stays on after launch. Ask who writes the code, since a senior in-house team and an offshore subcontractor produce very different results. Optimum7 is a BigCommerce Elite Partner with a senior, U.S.-based team.

Both. We build for growing brands on BigCommerce's standard plans and for enterprise brands on Performance, with the same process and senior team. If a lighter plan or a different platform fits your stage better, we will say so and scope the build accordingly.

Yes. After launch you can retain the team for ongoing development, new features, platform updates, maintenance, and CRO testing, on a monthly retainer or project basis. The same people who built the store continue to support it.
