BigCommerce Strategy Guide

BigCommerce reaches Mid-market sellers doing $100K+/year in revenue. Here are the tactics that separate successful sellers from the rest.

1

Use multi-channel selling

BigCommerce natively connects to Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping from one dashboard. Manage all channels without duplicate listings.

2

Leverage abandoned cart saver

Built into all plans. Automatically emails customers who abandon carts. Recovers 5–15% of otherwise-lost revenue.

0% transaction fees

Unlike Shopify (which charges 0.5–2% unless you use Shopify Payments), BigCommerce never charges transaction fees on any plan. For high-volume sellers, this saves thousands per year.

What We Handle For You

Design with flat bases for display stability. Customers display figurines on desks and shelves — a wobbly figurine gets returned.

Include a hollow interior for figurines over 100mm tall. Saves 40–60% material cost without affecting display quality.

Add surface texture intentionally — layer lines can enhance organic/creature models but ruin smooth/mechanical surfaces.

Design in segments for multi-color printing. A 3-part figurine (body, head, accessory) lets you offer color options without paint.

Scale reference photos are essential for listings. Show the figurine next to a coin, phone, or ruler — size surprises drive negative reviews.
