BigCommerce strategy consulting

BigCommerce consulting that turns strategy into revenue

You get a BigCommerce expert who has shipped dozens of stores, not a generalist with a slide deck. Your audit, roadmap, and advisory sessions are scoped around your platform, your data, and your growth goal.

Why most ecommerce advice does not work

The old way costs you time and revenue

With Redefine
  • Platform-specific diagnosis

    Your consultant reviews your actual storefront, theme code, integration stack, and analytics before recommending anything.

  • Strategy is the deliverable, not a by-product

    Every engagement produces a written report and a prioritized roadmap you own, with no obligation to hire us further.

  • Advice from people who build on BigCommerce daily

    Your consultant has shipped stores this year. The recommendations come from build experience, not certification.

  • Async support throughout the engagement

    Questions that surface during implementation get answered fast, without scheduling a new project.

The old way
  • Generic agency advice

    You receive a broad framework that could apply to any platform. Your actual BigCommerce configuration is never reviewed.

  • Strategy buried inside a retainer

    You pay for execution first. Strategy is what gets squeezed out when sprints fill up.

  • Advice tied to their technology stack

    Recommendations are shaped by what the agency sells, not by what your platform actually supports.

  • Roadmap delivered, then abandoned

    You get a 60-page document and no one to call when implementation questions arise three weeks later.

Scope and deliverables

Four consulting paths, each delivering a tangible output

02: Strategy

Platform Strategy and Roadmap

Your consultant turns audit findings into a sequenced growth plan. Every action item is ranked by effort-to-impact ratio so your team knows exactly what to build first.

The roadmap is written for your team, not for a board presentation. It includes platform-specific implementation notes your developers can act on immediately.

03: Advisory

Implementation Advisory

You have a development team or an agency on execution. Your consultant sits alongside them, answering architecture questions, reviewing work before it ships, and flagging platform-specific issues before they become problems.

Advisory is scoped by the sprint, not the month. You bring questions; you get clear answers grounded in actual platform knowledge.

See migration advisory scope
Advisory session: live questions and answers log
Development team asks

"Should we use the native BigCommerce wishlists or a third-party app for our business-to-business buyers?"

Consultant answers

"Native wishlists lack account-level sharing for business-to-business. For your buyer portal use case, WishList Plus gives you the team-sharing and import controls you need without a custom build."

Development team asks

"Our product feed is pulling wrong prices for sale items since last week."

Consultant answers

"This is a known BigCommerce sale-price API response issue. Set your feed to pull `calculated_price` instead of `sale_price` and it resolves immediately."

04: Growth Retainer

Platform-specific proof

Strategy you can measure

Outdoor brand operations team reviewing ecommerce growth results

Outdoor Lifestyle Brand

BigCommerce + Klaviyo + Amazon

A direct-to-consumer outdoor brand with a loyal customer base. Strict channel constraints meant organic, email, and owned-channel strategy had to carry all revenue growth. No paid search, no traditional advertising.

The challenge

Scaling revenue in a competitive market while operating under advertising restrictions. The existing ecommerce setup had performance gaps, user experience friction, and fragmented email. Growth had to come from platform strategy and retention, not paid spend.

What changed
  • Full BigCommerce store performance and user experience audit
  • Klaviyo lifecycle strategy designed around purchase behavior
  • Amazon channel strategy and product data governance
  • Organic search engine optimization and content architecture roadmap
The result
$1M$3.8M

Top channelEmail became the single largest monthly revenue driver

Why Redefine consulting

Three things no typical consulting page will say

BigCommerce consultant and ecommerce director reviewing platform strategy document together at a desk

Built on the platform we consult about

Your consultant built stores on BigCommerce this year. The advice is not theoretical. It is drawn from watching what works and what breaks at scale in real production stores.

Every engagement ends with a document, not a conversation

Audits produce a written scored report. Strategy sessions produce a prioritized action document. You leave every engagement with something your team can act on that afternoon, not three weeks later.

You own the work and can take it anywhere

Consulting is priced and delivered independently of execution. Take the strategy to your internal developers or another agency. If you want Redefine to build it, that is a separate conversation you control.

Common questions

BigCommerce consulting FAQ

Still weighing whether a consulting engagement is right for your situation? These are the questions founders and ecommerce directors ask most before booking.

Every engagement begins with a platform audit covering your theme, integration stack, search engine optimization configuration, conversion flow, and analytics. You receive a written scored report and a prioritized roadmap. Advisory retainers add monthly strategy sessions, implementation guidance for your development team, and async support between sessions.

A Discovery audit runs one to two weeks from kickoff and delivers a written report plus a 90-day priority roadmap. Advisory retainers run month-to-month. Enterprise advisory engagements span three to six months depending on scope.

Both. The majority of our consulting clients are merchants already on BigCommerce who want a sharper growth strategy, better integrations, or a full platform audit. Migration advisory is a separate track for brands evaluating BigCommerce as their next platform before they commit to a project.

Support covers maintenance, bug fixes, and day-to-day operational tasks. Consulting is strategic. You bring questions about platform direction, integration architecture, conversion improvement, growth levers, or replatforming decisions, and you get expert answers grounded in actual platform build experience.

No. Consulting engagements are priced and delivered independently of any execution work. You keep every report, roadmap, and recommendation. You are free to take the strategy to your internal team or a different agency. If you want Redefine to handle implementation, that is a separate scope you choose separately.
