Benefits of using BigCommerce WordPress plugin
You get the best of both worlds
With BigCommerce’s WordPress plugin, you will be able to provide eCommerce experiences to your customers through WordPress and manage eCommerce related tasks through BigCommerce, improving your eCommerce performance and reducing black-end bloat.
This integration gives eCommerce the opportunity to expand, allowing developers to combine the customizability and robustness of WordPress with BigCommerce’s flexible, scalable and feature-rich eCommerce engine.
Sell everywhere
BigCommerce’s WordPress plugin allows you put your products on social platforms like Instagram or Facebook, as well as marketplaces like Amazon, Google Shopping or Ebay. This way you can advertise on Google by connecting your site’s catalog, and the Google Ads extension will create targeted ads so you can get your products in front of the right people right when they are searching for your products.
We recommend eCommerce Ads by Clever as the perfect BigCommerce extension for doing so, and it’s very simple!
Don’t worry about maintenance
BigCommerce is a hosted eCommerce platform, which means it’s not your duty to manage or maintain it.
