Numerous Bigcommerce merchants are on the hunt for a new eCommerce platform after pricing for successful stores were hiked 3-10x more per month.
Finding a new shopping cart is one of the toughest, most daunting challenges an online merchant can face, with countless options, all of which can appear similar at first glance, making it hard to find the right one.
3dcart has evolved a great deal over the years, implementing new features, services, and complete platform overhauls in response to the requests of its very own merchants, many of which are former Bigcommerce clients. 3dcart's innovative platform, comprised of the industry's latest tools and features, is designed to provide businesses of every shape and size with everything they need to succeed in selling online.
If you're considering leaving Bigcommerce, here are some exciting 3dcart features you're sure to love.
1. Back Orders and Wait Lists
Allow customers to order items out of stock with advanced inventory control that supports back orders. When item stock reaches zero, your product will be visibly marked as being on “Back Order”, allowing you to continue accepting orders and ship items when stock is replenished.
