A head start on a custom storefront, on a foundation BigCommerce itself maintains.
You want a custom storefront, but building a headless site from nothing is a big commitment. Headless means the pages customers see run separately from the commerce engine behind them.
Catalyst is BigCommerce’s own framework for that setup, built on Next.js. We use it as the base for headless builds, then change the parts, styling and features until the store feels like yours. You get a one-of-a-kind shop on the setup BigCommerce recommends.
A base built on BigCommerce’s official Next.js framework
Pre-built commerce components that speed up development
Storefront code tuned to work with BigCommerce’s APIs
An active community, plus support from BigCommerce itself
We look at your BigCommerce setup and decide which Catalyst components fit as they are and which need custom work.
Components change, new pages appear and the design system takes on your brand, all while the framework’s update path stays intact.
We connect inventory, accounting, CRM and fulfillment systems, so the new store works with the rest of your business.
We deploy the finished store on Vercel or a similar platform, then monitor performance and refine it as needed.
We’ve architected complex BigCommerce implementations for high-volume sellers. That depth helps us judge where Catalyst’s components are enough and where your storefront needs custom work.
Catalyst is BigCommerce’s open-source sample storefront, built on Next.js. It comes with ready-made parts for product pages, cart, checkout and accounts, and they work directly with BigCommerce’s APIs.
Catalyst gives you a production-ready starting point, while a custom build starts from scratch. Catalyst is faster to launch. A custom build gives you more control over the architecture.
Yes. It’s built for that. We change components, add pages, restyle the design and add features, while keeping the framework’s structure and update path.
Yes. BigCommerce actively maintains Catalyst, and it has been production-ready since its stable release. We deploy Catalyst stores on Vercel or similar platforms for strong performance.
