Yeah, their new pricing sucks. But Shopify's is not any better. Both these companies are trying to make money on credit card processing. Both their rates are higher than what I currently pay.
Maybe I'll dust off the Interspire software. I have 5 BC stores right now. There's no way I'm staying with them at $80/mo.
Volusion's pricing looks decent, but their templates are hard to modify.
Shopify has an insane 2% fee if you use an external payment gateway.
@MJ, what are you running? It's being self hosted right?
IMO, Bigcommerce is not run be people who have online stores. I met them in Texas a few years ago and also spoke to their support when I went from Interspire to BC. Their support does not know how to use their own stores and their training department has given really bad advice in how to run an online store. I've stuck with them for almost 5 years now. But it's probably time to move on. Or course migrating 5 stores will be a big headache but I just have to bite the bullet and do it now.
There needs to be a way to operate multiple stores or fronts like they do with shared hosting services. I think it would be cool
My thought was once I pick a new platform, I will just hire a VA to do 90% of the migration, and I can put the finishing touches on it.
I need to do research into the open source availability of back-end and front-end E-commerce shells.
I'm almost positive that they should have some. I'm not a programmer, but with how fast open source platforms are growing, I would be surprised if there wasn't at least a basic framework that you could implement. (Read Peers, Inc. by Robbin Chase, its the bomb)
Someone needs to build an E-Commerce platform that doesn't act as the middleman, but instead acts as a support to reaching your means to an end. Kind of like GoDaddy, where it is mostly hands-off.
