BigCommerce is one of the largest ecommerce platforms in the world. It’s a platform that allows merchants to take their online store to the next level. BigCommerce boasts superior multi-channel management & SEO, giving merchants and users a head start. It also offers a host of different apps that can be used to maximize the performance and functionality of a webshop.
In this blog, we will show you a number of apps & integrations for BigCommerce.
This may seem biased, but honestly - we do believe that PushPro is the #1 best Push Notification app for your BigCommerce store to gain conversions and sales. It's also featured as a BigCommerce Must Have app.
PushPro appeals to all aspects of good marketing and is fully automated. It’s just like e-mail marketing but easier, more direct, faster, and with more meaningful results.
PushPro allows merchants to send meaningful and targeted messages that will help build customer loyalty and, in turn, spending. With PushPro, you can segment, send automated Push Notifications, configure your own notification, and much more. PushPro has often been highlighted by BigCommerce as the best app for merchants in a early Growth Stage.
PushPro comes with flexible pricing, the first 14 days are always free for everyone. The paid plans start from €10.00** (bargain alert) in which you already have access to very advanced features and as many as 2,500 subscribers!

FavSEO is packed with great built-in features to boost your online visibility. It offers merchants the possibility to boost rankings based on new keywords. In addition, the app audits your webshop's SEO performance, highlighting fixes, and new opportunities that can lead to a great traffic boost.
This app is designed to make the life of a merchant easy. It simplifies SEO tasks and allows for bulk updates, meaning you can adjust hundreds of products at one.
The app starts from $59 per month for small eCommerce store owners and can be scaled up for a reasonable price per month for bigger businesses.
Most online webshops will sooner or later have to deal with advertising via Google. A real must-have in this area is the app from salesandorders.com which makes it easy to advertise through Google’s shopping feed.
What's special about this app is that, besides offering a product feed tool to load products from your BigCommerce webshop, they also offer a complete marketing suite. There are also plenty of add ons to expand its functionality further.
The app has a free plan and comes with flexible pricing models starting at $20 per month for the integration. Note that your Google Ads costs are separate from the app.

Like Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign is a popular platform for e-mail marketing automation.

ActiveCampaign delivers personalized mails based on user data. With the drag and drop interface of ActiveCampaign, you can quickly and easily create emails for your target audience.

Placing an up to date instagram feed on your webshop will help make your brand feel ‘real’ and can boost customer engagement. Customer engagement via Instagram has been proven to lead to more conversions and is, therefore, a valuable addition to your webshop.
The Elfsight widget comes with a pricing based on the amount of views you get for the widget. The price varies between $5 and $25 per month.
‘Affiliate’ is not a new term for many marketers. Now, merchants can also take advantage of this by targeting certain promotions and campaigns to their online sales. Using LeadDyno's affiliate tool, you can easily have your own products sold by bloggers, streamers, and influencers.
With the one-click plugin for your BigCommerce store, you can manage your own affiliate dashboard in no time. Here you can share marketing material and data with affiliates and organize payments.

Today, customer loyalty is extremely important within online sales. For this reason, we definitely recommend using a globally acknowledged review platform such as Trustpilot.
With Trustpilot, you can easily and automatically collect new reviews for your company page or products. In addition, a positive number of reviews generates confidence among your consumers and they will choose you rather than the competitor. When you have 100+ reviews on Trustpilot and an average score of 3.5/5 or higher, you are eligible for Google Seller Ratings which ensures that your number of reviews also show up in your Google Ads campaigns!
Trustpilot is completely free unless you want more advanced features. If you want to increase the trust of your company, you can contact Trustpilot for a quote. Pricing begins at $199 per month.
