Frequently asked questions
-
When is Neto the better choice over BigCommerce?
While BigCommerce is often better for teams prioritizing API-first flexibility, headless builds, and external systems to handle operations, Neto is the stronger option for operations-heavy businesses that rely on their ecommerce platform to run and coordinate core operational processes. It’s particularly well-suited to companies where inventory accuracy impacts margins, stock is distributed across multiple locations, warehouse processes are handled in-house, and B2B or marketplace sales are central to revenue.
-
Which platform is better for Australian businesses: Neto or BigCommerce?
For Australian businesses, Neto is the stronger choice because it was engineered specifically for the local market, offering native out-of-the-box integrations with Australian couriers (like Australia Post and StarTrack), regional marketplaces (like Catch and Kogan), and tax rules that global platforms often require third-party apps to handle.
In short, for operation-heavy Australian businesses needing a unified inventory + shipping + marketplace operations layer, Neto is a better option. Plus, with Neto, you gain access to a support team that operates in your time zone and understands specific local tax (GST), shipping, and compliance nuances.
-
Why should I switch from BigCommerce to Neto?
Switching to Neto eliminates the "app tax" and integration headaches of BigCommerce, where essential ecommerce operations and complex workflows often require expensive third-party apps and integrations. Overall, it’s a strategic move for businesses that want to reduce their dependency on fragmented third-party applications, switch to a more unified commerce ecosystem, and ultimately reduce the total cost of ownership.
