Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has gained tremendous popularity with merchants in recent times. Merchants are looking for a stable website that is highly performance with minimal maintenance costs. SaaS generally delivers on these promises.
BigCommerce is a frontrunner in the battle of platforms. It is squarely positioned between traditional, less-flexible, locked-down SaaS platforms and the high TCO, expensive-to-maintain open-source systems. BigCommerce's idea is "Open SaaS". Developers can tap into their API to create custom experiences or leverage the already-built systems that BigCommerce has already created.

An Introduction to SwiftOtter
Excellence in Ecommerce Experiences—since 2012.
As you can see with this guidebook, SwiftOtter believes in education and enablement (we have also built a significant training practice). Getting into a full-site migration may seem scary.
But with us at SwiftOtter, it's not. We will walk you through the process you will read about in this quickstart guide.
- We learn the key points of your needs and give you a rough order of magnitude for cost and timeline.
- We enter a paid discovery to understand what needs to be built: the scope.
- Once we agree on the scope (price), we begin work.
- We involve you through the development process to ensure it's exactly as you need.
SwiftOtter is a Certified BigCommerce Partner. We are also a Commerce-specialized Adobe Partner. We know the best of both worlds and have put this knowledge into building this quickstart guide for you.
