5 Things X-Cart Offers That BigCommerce Doesn’t
Powerful Built-in Features and Tools
Regardless of which business solution you choose, Automotive or Platform, your X-Cart store will have unlimited SKUs, complex catalogs with multiple categories, product filtering, and price lists, all available within the package.
Some essential tools are available only as part of the BigCommerce Enterprise plan. This is where you can feel like you are overpaying for the package that doesn’t meet your expectations and consider switching to another eCommerce platform.
Native Automotive Solution
X-Cart provides prebuilt automotive fitment tools like Year/Make/Model Search and VIN lookup that integrate seamlessly with X-Cart’s automotive design themes. We also have direct integrations with leading auto parts database providers and distributors, such as SEMA Data, ASAP Network, AutoSync, Turn 14 Distribution, and more to come shortly!
BigCommerce also offers a range of automotive-focused tools and features. However, most of them were developed by third-party agencies, which can spark additional maintenance and customer support challenges.
Website Speed Optimization
Moving your online store to X-Cart can help you maximize your online store’s speed. This will drastically improve your website’s user experience, positively changing your SEO rankings. X-Cart also ensures no risk of downtime during the whole eCommerce migration process.
According to G2, some BigCommerce users have observed slow page loading times, resulting in lower rankings on Google and requiring constant and extensive optimization.
The page load times of some BigCommerce stores can exceed 1000 ms, which is twice as slow as the average and five times slower than stores running on X-Cart.
SEO Flexibility
X-Cart included SEO in its native dashboard, making it easier for users to optimize their online stores without additional expenses or time. X-Cart also offers advanced optimization features like XML sitemap and meta work, SEO optimization services, and SEO audits after migration to ensure previous efforts aren’t wasted.
BigCommerce’s SEO support and guides lack helpful information, leaving merchants to struggle with duplicate content issues that can hurt their website’s ability to rank. Third-party SEO agencies can provide the guidance needed to optimize your store for search engines. However, these services can eventually turn out to be rather costly.
Technical Support and Maintenance
The X-Cart team is always available to assist with any project. We offer fast and reliable customer support, available 24/7. Authorized customers can also have a dedicated project manager.
BigCommerce help center is, on the contrary, reported to work very slowly. Some merchants mention unprofessional customer service, ineffective support, and the fact that it takes quite a long time to solve an issue.

X-Cart vs BigCommerce [Q&A]
- Does it take long to migrate from BigCommerce to X-Cart?
It doesn’t. Migration to X-Cart won’t take more than a month, and your store will be up throughout the data migration process. Switching DNS records, however, takes at least a couple of hours for the changes to propagate. It’s a necessary evil. - Can I schedule a free X-Cart demo?
Absolutely. You can schedule a free X-Cart demo with our solution advisors and get a definitive tour of the key features necessary for your business. This will help you get a clear picture of what our shopping cart looks like from the inside before taking the decision. - How can I migrate from BigCommerce to X-Cart?
The X-Cart team will ensure hassle-free migration from your Magento store to X-Cart at a lower price than that charged by automated shopping cart migration services. Our eCommerce migration experts can transfer everything — including custom-developed design and features — with professional support and post-launch testing. - Will X-Cart integrate with the tools I already use?
X-Cart integrates with hundreds of eCommerce applications available at the X-Cart app store, allowing you to connect the tools you already use effortlessly. If you don’t see the required add-on in the app store, we can tailor a custom integration with the tool of your choice connected to your online store via API.
