BigCommerce Development
BigCommerce Store Setup
A BigCommerce store setup is not simply pressing install and choosing a theme. It is a strategic engagement that covers account configuration, payment gateway integration, shipping zone logic, tax rule setup, domain routing, and SSL certificate provisioning. We handle every layer so your store is production-ready from day one.
The configuration phase includes setting up your product catalogue architecture, defining variant logic for complex configurable products, creating customer groups and pricing tiers for B2B scenarios, and configuring email transactionals for every stage of the post-purchase journey.
- Full account and DNS configuration including sub-domain routing for international storefronts
- Payment gateway setup and testing across Stripe, PayPal, eWay, Afterpay, and Zip Pay
- Shipping zone and carrier integration including Australia Post, Sendle, FedEx, and DHL
- GST and international tax rule configuration compliant with ATO requirements
- Transactional email templates for order confirmation, dispatch, and review requests
BigCommerce Theme Development
BigCommerce uses the Stencil framework for theme development. We build custom themes from scratch or extend BigCommerce's native Cornerstone theme when time-to-market is a priority. Every theme we build uses Handlebars templating, SCSS, and JavaScript within the Stencil CLI — resulting in a performant, maintainable codebase your team can manage post-launch.
Custom theme development includes full responsive design, accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA), component-level JavaScript for cart interactions, and deep integration with BigCommerce's theme editor so your merchandising team can customise layouts without code.
- Custom Stencil theme development built to your brand and UX specification
- Cornerstone theme customisation and extension for cost-effective engagements
- Page builder widget development for drag-and-drop content management post-launch
- Cart and checkout customisation including custom fields, delivery date selection, and gift messaging
- Cross-browser and cross-device QA testing before every deployment
Integration & APIs
BigCommerce exposes a comprehensive REST API and GraphQL Storefront API that allows deep integration with your existing technology stack. We have built integrations connecting BigCommerce to ERP systems, accounting platforms, warehouse management systems, marketing automation tools, and custom internal dashboards.
Our integration work covers both native BigCommerce connectors available in the App Marketplace and custom webhook-driven pipelines where off-the-shelf solutions fall short. Every integration is documented, tested in staging, and deployed with monitoring in place.
- ERP integration with MYOB, Xero, NetSuite, and SAP Business One
- Marketing automation connections to Klaviyo, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, and Omnisend
- Product feed management for Google Shopping, Facebook Catalogue, and Bing Shopping
- Custom webhook pipelines for real-time order, inventory, and customer sync
- Headless BigCommerce builds using Next.js or Nuxt for performance-critical storefronts
Performance Optimisation
Page speed is not a bonus feature. Every 100ms of load time delay reduces conversion rate by approximately 1%, and Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal. We optimise BigCommerce stores at the theme level, removing unnecessary third-party scripts, implementing lazy loading, and compressing asset delivery across the CDN.
- Core Web Vitals optimisation targeting LCP under 2.5s, CLS below 0.1, FID under 100ms
- Image pipeline setup with WebP conversion, responsive srcset, and lazy loading
- Third-party script audit and defer/async implementation to protect Time to Interactive
- BigCommerce CDN configuration and Akamai cache policy tuning
Migration to BigCommerce
Migrating from Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, or a custom platform involves far more than moving product data. A poorly executed migration can destroy years of organic rankings through broken redirects, lost metadata, and crawl errors. We manage the full migration lifecycle with zero SEO disruption as a non-negotiable outcome.
Every migration project includes a pre-migration crawl of the existing site, a redirect mapping exercise covering every URL with organic traffic, data validation in staging, and a post-launch monitoring period with Search Console alerts configured.
- Platform migrations from Magento 1/2, WooCommerce, Shopify, Neto, and custom builds
- Complete URL redirect mapping to preserve SEO equity across all indexed pages
- Customer, order, and product data migration with integrity validation
- Post-launch monitoring for crawl errors, ranking drops, and conversion regression
Our Process
How we build your BigCommerce store.
Four stages, no surprises. Every engagement follows the same proven framework so you know exactly what is happening at every step.
STEP 01
Discovery
We audit your existing store or catalogue, map your customer journey, define your conversion goals, and document your technical requirements. This phase produces a detailed project specification and feature list signed off before a single line of code is written.
STEP 02
Design
Full high-fidelity UI design in Figma covering homepage, category pages, product detail pages, cart, and checkout. We present two design concepts for your feedback before finalising. No development begins until design is approved.
STEP 03
Development
Stencil theme development, integration work, and content population run in parallel on a staging environment. You have access to the staging store throughout. Fortnightly progress updates keep you informed, and a shared project tracker gives visibility into every task.
STEP 04
Launch
Pre-launch QA covers every page, device, browser, and transaction flow. DNS cutover is scheduled during low-traffic periods. Post-launch we monitor for crawl errors, conversion anomalies, and payment failures for 14 days. Training is delivered before handover.

Sales Driven
It would be a shame to be seen in Google & Bing, or even be paying for ads through Google or social media, only to find that your BigCommerce store doesn’t actually bring in the sales you had expected!
