BigCommerce vs. Yahoo Small Business

Why BigCommerce?

As a business owner, executive or manager, you have many responsibilities and stressors that come with running a business. With your plate already so full, we understand how challenging an eCommerce migration can be. So, we want to lend a helping hand. First, learn the difference between two eCommerce platforms you may be considering: BigCommerce and Yahoo Small Business. This will help make your migration as easy, painless, and cost-effective as possible. Then, we would love to discuss your business needs with you to help you identify the best fit:

BigCommerce vs. Yahoo eCommerce Capabilities

When it comes to the eCommerce capabilities of BigCommerce vs. Yahoo Small Business, it is not much of a competition. BigCommerce offers more eCommerce capabilities than Yahoo at every stage of growth. The backend of Yahoo Small Business is customizable, but for online retailers, very few Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) eCommerce platforms can scale more intuitively than BigCommerce. That is why many businesses on Yahoo Small Business make the switch, because Yahoo can’t keep up with their growth. BigCommerce allows you to:

  • Attract more leads and secure more sales conversions with responsive, mobile-friendly sites and superior reliability.
  • Get more store traffic with advanced Search Engine Optimization capabilities.
  • Upgrade your growth potential: According to Ipsos, BigCommerce merchants grow 28% annually, nearly 2x the industry average.
  • Reinforce your brand with automatic updates and the latest eCommerce features.
  • Unlock a robust API that offers incredible speed (up to 400 calls per second) to increase operational efficiency.

eCommerce Platform Innovation

The main product that Yahoo Small Business offers in terms of innovation is Yahoo Merchant, which helps you create and manage an online store. However, BigCommerce has been a market leader in terms of platform innovation in a variety of ways. They regularly add new features to their platform for all of their merchants. One of the most recent examples is the BigCommerce “Page Builder” which allows merchants to easily drag and drop and customize all the pages on their site, making it a much more user-friendly experience than Yahoo Small Business. You can easily launch a professional eCommerce website using customizable templates, and manage sales through centralized dashboards in BigCommerce. It is an easy, four-step process:
