Justin L
PPC Specialist
5.0

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.
