BigCommerce is Interspire

I was asked a question about our relationship with BigCommerce from our new customer – thanks to BigCommerce – where after reading our last posts he mentioned he was unsure if we were able to handle his request as our relationship with BigCommerce is very new, or it appears to be. I answered, “yes, the relationship with BigCommerce is new, but we have been building Interspire shopping carts for almost 3 years now, which is the exact same company and we were approached by BigCommerce to join their BigCommerce Design Network as we were already a partner for their Interspire shoppingcart. Without hesitation, we said yes. We know it and we love it and do not offer any other solutions for e-commerce. Sure we can custom code anything you would like. But Interspire/BigCommerce has done it all, so why reinvent the wheel?

Through the inquires we have received we have found that little know where BigCommerce came from.  So, I felt it would be a good idea to introduce you to the Interspire Shoppingcart, which is the platform BigCommerce is built on. In short, they are the exact same company. Except, BigCommerce is a SaaS (software as a service) and Interspire is best utilized for custom development and programming for elements of your web site which BigCommerce does not allow and you’ll own the license to Interspire. Things like POS software integration, warehouse inventory integration, custom product fields per product, other API’s and so on… are some of the tasks which are limited with BigCommerce. However, if you enjoy the BigCommerce platform Interspire is the exact same, just with customizable freedom.
