Our platform allows users to easily and quickly create their own online store without all the technical work involved in developing their own website, or the huge expense of having someone else build it. Shopify lets merchants manage all aspects of their shops: uploading products, changing the design, accepting credit card orders, and viewing their incoming orders and completed transactions; BigCommerce: Ecommerce platform which allows you to create an online store. It is a true all-in-one ecommerce platform with the power to grow your business & help you sell more.
