Black Diamond simplified global expansion with BigCommerce.

“Black Diamond was able to work with different payment processors and offer some of the merchandising a little bit differently. Things like that are really important to different types of markets. BigCommerce gave them an ecosystem to work globally.”

Top 6 reasons to make the switch from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to BigCommerce.

Greater reach

Meet your customers where they love to shop — without being forced to purchase additional management systems. With BigCommerce, you can seamlessly integrate with the world’s largest search, social, and marketplaces channels along with integrations and APIs for BOPIS — and so much more.

More agility

With BigCommerce, you get access to Catalyst, a developer-first approach to ecommerce: fully customizable UI kit, comprehensive GraphQL Storefront API client — all optimized for Next.js and React Server Components. With integrations for every business need, you’ll innovate quicker and more easily than ever before.

Easier expansion

Now, you don’t need to rely on Salesforce Commerce Cloud for creating unique storefronts for each facet of your business. BigCommerce can easily manage multiple storefronts through one dashboard with Multi-Storefront, reducing operational costs and complexities so you can build for every customer, in every language.

More composability

While Salesforce claims composability and “API first,” BigCommerce has always been an open and composable platform. We’re a leading member of the MACH Alliance, a recognized leader in headless ecommerce, and offer unparalleled freedom to build what you want, when you want with hosted low/no code, headless, or both.

Lower cost

With Salesforce Commerce Cloud, subscription costs are higher, and SFCC certification requirements can drive up agency costs as well. BigCommerce saves you time, effort, and money. Forrester found merchants can break even with BigCommerce in 8 months, over 211% return on investment over three years, and 90% developer time savings by year three.

Less complexity

Salesforce Commerce Cloud was built on an acquisition model, requiring merchants to build on and manage multiple platforms. At BigCommerce, we simplify complex ecommerce with freedom of choice, no proprietary friction, low maintenance, peak performance, and single point management of ecommerce stores, data, and operations.
