Turnkey, white-glove service to upgrade to BigCommerce’s new Buyer Portal
BigCommerce released the Buyer Portal experience for B2B Edition in 2023. It replaces BigCommerce storefront’s customer account area with an account portal that delivers better functionality without requiring a customized B2B theme. While the legacy, customized B2B theme still works, it’s no longer updated. That means slower storefronts, outdated features, and unnecessary technical debt.
Migrating from the legacy BigCommerce B2B Edition to the new Buyer Portal can be costly and complex. Legacy themes need cleanup, configs and data need to be migrated correctly, new themes, new features, and customizations may need to be implemented, integrations may require updates, the Buyer Portal may need to be hosted and supported to support customizations, and in some cases the store may need a V2 to V3 migration.
StrikeTru’s Buyer Portal Migration Service makes that upgrade/enhancement smooth, fast, and risk-free. Our turnkey, white-glove service assists you from planning to go-live, so you can unlock all benefits of the new Buyer Portal. Whether you need just an upgrade or one or more enhancements, we will migrate you with confidence!
Why Upgrade Now?
Boost Storefront Speed
Faster page loads and smoother buyer experiences drive conversions and customer satisfaction.
Modern Architecture
Move away from fragile, code-heavy legacy themes. The React-based Buyer Portal is more flexible, reliable, and easier to customize. It is more mobile optimized, and compatible with most Stencil themes out-of-the-box.
New & Future Features
Company hierarchies, independent companies, advanced quoting, re-ordering, shopping lists, invoices, masquerading, and more that improve buyer experience and save everybody time. All other future enhancements will be made available in the new Buyer Portal only.
Reduce Technical Debt
Legacy B2B customizations may break easily, require costly fixes, and lack adequate ongoing support. Upgrading to the new B2B Buyer Portal now avoids those risks and associated maintenance costs.
