This comparison shows how Shopify and BigCommerce stack up when it comes to enabling scalable, efficient B2B bulk orders. While both platforms offer foundational support, key functionality often requires third-party apps or custom integration.
Notably, BigCommerce’s open API often allows for more intricate custom integrations for bulk ordering workflows, while Shopify’s app ecosystem provides a wider range of readily available solutions that we can expertly tailor.
