Keep scrolling to find the CMS solution that goes well with your business needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1. BigCommerce CMS<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We\u2019ll start with BigCommerce CMS, the standard content management system of the platform. By using this CMS, merchants can enjoy plenty of eCommerce features without tech know-how.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Basically, the site content will be stored in a database (the back end) and displayed on a presentation layer called the front end. And, of course, these components have a strong connection with each other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2. BigCommerce headless CMS<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>On the other hand, BigCommerce headless CMS is the CMS version that separates the front end from the back end.<\/strong> It allows you to freely modify the backend without interrupting the frontend\u2019s performance. Like other headless CMSs, <strong>BigCommerce also uses APIs to deliver content on any device<\/strong>, either mobile apps or third-party platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-jnews-750x536 wp-image-70597\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70597 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-4.webp\" alt=\"bigcommerce headless cms\" width=\"1455\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-4.webp 1455w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-4-300x184.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-4-1024x628.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-4-768x471.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1455px) 100vw, 1455px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BigCommerce headless CMS is an ideal solution for huge eCommerce companies<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So what makes BigCommerce headless CMS different from the traditional version?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>While the traditional CMS is only used for one site and one use<\/strong>, BigCommerce headless CMS is completely the opposite. With the headless version, <strong>you can run any number of sites you want<\/strong>. It helps to optimize your omnichannel sales strategies and create a more agile business approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On top of that, the high flexibility and scalability of<strong> BigCommerce headless CMS make it an ideal solution for eCommerce enterprises<\/strong>. Instead of editing content one by one, merchants can have centralized content management across platforms using the BigCommerce control panel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does Bigcommerce CMS Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1. Manage products and sales<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You can easily add and categorize different products, ranging from simple to complex catalogs.<\/strong> You only need to access a single location &#8211; the BigCommerce control panel, and custom to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Similarly, <strong>you can manage your business sales from various sales channels<\/strong> through centralized order and inventory management. This is especially effective for BigCommerce's biggest clients <em>(e.g. Sony or Ubisoft Store)<\/em> to gain their eCommerce values on a global scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2. Collect payments<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>To make the checkout process more flexible, BigCommerce CMS allows easy integrations with third-party payment providers.<\/strong> With this solution, you can not only offer more options to your customers but also enhance your store\u2019s security effectively. You can consider several outstanding worldwide gateways, such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, etc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-jnews-750x536 wp-image-70603\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-70603 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7.webp\" alt=\"best worldwide payment providers on bigcommerce CMS\" width=\"1583\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7.webp 1583w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7-300x133.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7-1024x455.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BigCommerce-CMS-7-1536x682.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1583px) 100vw, 1583px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Merchants can access the best worldwide payment providers on BigCommerce<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#3.
