    This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

    Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

    Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

    BigCommerce Monthly Pulse: Navigating the Frontier of Open SaaS and Agentic Commerce

    \Industry Footprint and Enterprise Ascent\ \BigCommerce continues to solidify its reputation as the preferred choice for high-growth merchants, currently powering approximately \42,000 live stores\ globally. While the broader platform market share is estimated at 3% to 5%, the true narrative lies in its revenue composition; a staggering \75% of annual recurring revenue\ now originates from enterprise-level accounts. This pivot toward the mid-market and enterprise segments demonstrates BigCommerce's successful positioning as a more flexible, "Open SaaS" alternative to monolithic legacy systems and more restrictive SaaS competitors.\ \Infrastructure Resilience and Uptime Benchmarks\ \Reliability remains a cornerstone of the platform's value proposition, maintaining a rigorous \99.99% uptime standard\. This infrastructure stability is critical for high-volume retailers who cannot afford performance dips during peak traffic periods. By consistently delivering "five-nines" availability during high-stakes events like Cyber Week, BigCommerce ensures that backend stability translates directly into frontend consumer confidence and maximized conversion opportunities for its merchant base.\ \Developer Velocity and API-First Innovation\ \The BigCommerce ecosystem has matured into a sophisticated hub for technical customization, boasting a library of over \586 tracked technologies\ and integrations. The platform's recent emphasis on its \Catalyst hosting and developer tools\ signals a commitment to reducing the friction associated with building headless storefronts. By providing an API-first architecture that allows for deep synchronization with external ERP and CRM systems in milliseconds, the platform empowers developers to build complex, bespoke experiences without the technical debt typically associated with open-source frameworks.\ \Flagship Innovation: The Rise of Agentic Commerce\ \BigCommerce is leading the industry shift from traditional search-based shopping toward \Agentic Commerce\. The recent unveiling of AI-powered catalog enrichment and conversational storefront search tools represents a strategic move to prepare merchants for a future where discovery happens through AI assistants. This initiative allows brands to remain "transactable" on AI surfaces, ensuring their products are discoverable and ready for \automated checkout experiences\ as consumer behavior evolves toward agent-driven interactions.\ \Fortifying the Digital Perimeter\ \Security and trust protocols have seen significant reinforcement through the expansion of \AI-powered fraud prevention\ in partnership with Stripe. By leveraging machine learning tools like Stripe Radar, BigCommerce merchants can reduce fraudulent activity by an average of 38%. For enterprise clients handling sensitive customer data, these built-in \Level 1 PCI compliance\ and advanced encryption standards are not just technical requirements but essential trust signals that protect brand reputation and long-term customer loyalty.\ \Global Reach and Cross-Border Expansion\ \The platform's global footprint continues to expand, with \over 95% of its user base\ concentrated in high-value English-speaking markets including the US, UK, and Australia. The recent global rollout of Stripe’s Optimized Checkout Suite, including Link and various Buy Now, Pay Later options, facilitates seamless cross-border trade. This update allows merchants to offer \localized, repeat-friendly checkout experiences\ in over 30 regional payment methods, effectively lowering the barriers to international market entry for scaling brands.\ \Strategic Migration: The Enterprise Shift\ \The momentum behind brand migrations to BigCommerce remains strong, highlighted by the recent launch of high-profile entities like \Bicycle Cards and SOG\. These brands often migrate from custom carts or legacy platforms to leverage BigCommerce's \native B2B features and headless readiness\. The ability to manage complex product fitment and custom workflows while lowering the Total Cost of Ownership is the primary driver for these sophisticated merchants, who seek the agility of a cloud platform without sacrificing the depth of customization required for their unique business models.\
