BigCommerce vs Easy Digital Downloads: Which is a better fit?

Justin L.: Hi, my name is Justin. I'm a PPC specialist for Practice Promotions, and I give BigCommerce five out of five stars. BigCommerce is an excellent solution for e-commerce. That's what I primarily used it for. It was our primary e-commerce platform at a company that I worked at called Verilus. My favorite thing about BigCommerce is that it combined a really great shopping cart with inventory management and the ability to design and modify websites with a large library of different templates that you could use from the BigCommerce library. Some of the checkout options when I was using BigCommerce, having the ability to customize some of the different settings and add dynamic options within an item were something that we looked into doing, and at the time, it wasn't supported in BigCommerce. That type of customization would have been good for us, but, yeah, it was not available within BigCommerce when I was using it.

Angela: Hey there. My name is Angela. I'm an author, a blogger, a photographer, and I give Easy Digital Downloads a five star review. For more reviews like this click down below. Before using Easy Digital Downloads, I actually didn't have a solution for selling downloads on my blog and a couple of friends recommended it. So once they pointed out to me really how easy it was to use, how budget-friendly it was, and how easy also it was for my customers to use it, I was on board very quickly. One of the things that I really like about Easy Digital Downloads was how easy it was, how intuitive it was, for me to set it up as a writer and as a content producer. But then also it's really easy for my customers to use so I can add an opt-in on my blog, for instance, and say purchase this or grab this. I can even set it up for free downloads. And so it just really, for me, I don't have the extra bandwidth and time to learn big new programs. So that was a quick, easy way for me to add that little bit of extra income or email list builders to my blog. When I first started using Easy Digital Downloads, a friend who recommended it, a fellow blogger, actually kind of helped me walk through it and set it up. But honestly it was super easy to just upload my content. I had some PDFs that I wanted for readers to be able to purchase or to download as a way to get their name on my email list. So it was very quick. I'm not techy. I know just enough to get myself in trouble sometimes, I think. And it was pretty intuitive for me to kind of just walk through, follow the directions and get going. A couple things that I would recommend if you're considering Easy Digital Downloads, especially if you're new to offering digital products, it's a great way to get started. It's easy to get started. The pricing is very reasonable. One thing I would recommend is to definitely do your research beforehand, make sure you understand how it works. Look into the membership, how the pricing works, which is very simple. I liked that as well. And then finally, I would look at their add-ons because they do have some great add-ons that I purchased pretty quickly, to help you expand what you can do with Easy Digital Downloads.
