BigCommerce reaches Mid-market sellers doing $100K+/year in revenue. Here are the tactics that separate successful sellers from the rest.
BigCommerce natively connects to Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Instagram, and Google Shopping from one dashboard. Manage all channels without duplicate listings.
Built into all plans. Automatically emails customers who abandon carts. Recovers 5–15% of otherwise-lost revenue.
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.
Quality Assurance
Our team optimizes every print — you focus on selling.
Use 0.08mm layers for faces and fine detail — visible layer lines ruin miniature quality at tabletop viewing distance (2–3 feet).
Design models for standard 25mm or 32mm bases. Non-standard bases frustrate tabletop gamers who need to fit grid squares.
Hollow large models (over 40mm tall) to save 30–50% on material cost. Use 1.5mm wall thickness minimum for structural integrity.
Include pre-supported versions for resin printers. Sellers who include both FDM and resin-ready files command 20–40% higher prices.
Test print at 3 different orientations before finalizing. The best orientation minimizes supports while preserving face detail.
Design modular kits (interchangeable weapons, heads, accessories) — customizable miniatures sell 2x better than static poses.
Avoid designs thinner than 1mm — they break during shipping. Swords, staffs, and antennas should be 1.5mm minimum or designed as separate pieces.
