BigCommerce for sellers with B2B and ERP in the picture.
BigCommerce earns its place when one catalog has to serve wholesale and retail, several storefronts, and an ERP that is the real source of truth. We build the storefronts and, more importantly, the integrations behind them.
What Gigabit does on BigCommerce.
Gigabit builds BigCommerce stores for sellers with wholesale accounts, several storefronts or an ERP behind the catalog. The work covers Stencil themes, headless storefronts on Catalyst, B2B set-up with company accounts and price lists, ERP and order-management integrations, and migrations from older carts.
On BigCommerce the storefront is rarely the hard part. The hard part is keeping prices, stock and orders in step with the ERP, and that integration is where we spend most of the time.
The BigCommerce work we take on.
The storefront, and the plumbing that keeps it consistent with the system of record.
Stencil and headless storefronts
Stencil theme builds for a conventional store, or a headless Next.js storefront on Catalyst and the GraphQL Storefront API when the front end needs to do more.
B2B set-up
Company accounts, buyer roles, customer-specific price lists, quotes and purchase-order checkout, configured against how your sales team actually sells.
ERP integration
Products, prices, inventory and orders kept in step with systems such as NetSuite, Acumatica or Microsoft Dynamics, with a reconciliation report when they disagree.
Multi-storefront
Several brands, regions or channels from one catalog and one back office, each with its own theme, currency and price list.
Migrations
Moves from legacy and self-hosted carts with products, customers, order history and URL redirects carried over and checked.
Agents for B2B operations
Quote drafting, order-status answers for account customers, and order-exception routing between the store and the ERP.
The useful AI on BigCommerce runs between the store and the ERP.
Storefront copy is the easy part. The value is in the order desk.
Built into the platform
BigCommerce's own AI work concentrates on letting outside agents shop the store and on getting product data in shape for AI shopping channels.
- A Storefront MCP server with separate B2C and B2B tool sets. The B2B set adds shopping lists and quotes and needs B2B Edition.
- Product feed management for marketplaces, ad channels and AI shopping surfaces.
- Open APIs across catalog, cart, checkout and orders, which is what an agent actually needs.
Agents for the order desk
B2B sellers lose hours to work that sits between systems: quotes, re-orders, stock questions and orders that fail to sync.
- An account-service agent that answers order, stock and delivery questions from store and ERP data.
- Quote drafts built from the customer's price list and history, approved by a salesperson before they go out.
- Sync failures classified and routed with the fix prepared, instead of found by a customer.
- Evaluation against past orders and tickets before launch, and monitoring after.
Published prices, mapped to the job.
Every figure here is the same one on the pricing page. Nothing on this platform is quoted from a separate rate card.
A price marked “from” buys the base scope set out on the pricing page. Anything larger is quoted as a fixed price before work starts. Work with no natural end, such as ongoing development, is priced per engineer per month with no lock-in.
When BigCommerce is the right call, and when it is not.
- You sell wholesale and retail from one catalog and want both on one platform.
- An ERP is the source of truth and you need open APIs across catalog, pricing and orders.
- You run several brands or regions and want one back office behind them.
- You want the largest choice of themes and apps and plan to change little. Shopify has more off the shelf.
- You need to change the platform's core behaviour, not extend it. That points to Adobe Commerce or a custom build.
- You are a small single-brand retailer. You would be paying for capability you will not use.
Questions BigCommerce teams ask
How much does BigCommerce development cost with Gigabit?
A BigCommerce store on a Stencil theme starts at $9,000 fixed. B2B, multi-storefront and headless builds are quoted higher, as a fixed price before work starts. A migration from another cart starts at $7,000 fixed. One scoped integration or workflow, such as an ERP order sync, is $8,000 fixed over three weeks, and a production AI agent is a flat fee from $8,000.
Do you integrate BigCommerce with ERP systems?
Yes. Product, price, inventory and order sync with the ERP is the core of most BigCommerce work we scope. We build it with retries and a reconciliation report, because a sync that fails silently is worse than no sync.
Should we go headless on BigCommerce?
Only if a theme genuinely cannot do what the front end needs, such as heavy content, unusual buying flows or several sites sharing components. Headless adds a codebase to maintain. For a conventional store a Stencil theme is cheaper to build and to run.
BigCommerce or Shopify for B2B?
Both now handle company accounts and price lists. BigCommerce tends to suit sellers who want B2B and retail on one plan with open APIs and an ERP at the centre. Shopify tends to suit sellers who value its app ecosystem and already run retail there. The ERP integration usually decides it, not the storefront.
