Will a BigCommerce store work well on phones and in a mobile app?
Yes. Stencil themes are responsive, so one theme serves phones, tablets and desktops, and a headless front end can be tuned page by page for mobile speed. If you also want an installable shopping app, it reads the same catalog, cart and customer data through BigCommerce's APIs; Miracuves builds it as a separate mobile project, so the store and the app never hold two copies of your products.
How much does BigCommerce development cost at Miracuves?
A catalogue product has a fixed price when your scope matches it: the ready-made platform, with its web app, admin panel and mobile apps on its own stack (it is not a BigCommerce store), starts from $2,199 and ships in 6 days. Custom BigCommerce work starts from $3,699, depending on the work. A custom BigCommerce MVP typically costs $8,000-$25,000 over 2-8 weeks, and where it lands depends on whether the storefront is a Stencil theme or headless, the number of storefronts, currencies and languages, B2B Edition requirements, the ERP, PIM, tax and shipping integrations, the catalog you migrate and any custom apps. A BigCommerce retainer for feature work and maintenance starts from $2,299/month. Your BigCommerce plan and any paid apps are billed by BigCommerce and the app vendors, not by Miracuves. Every quote is written before payment, with no surprise invoices after kickoff.
Does Miracuves deliver the full source code?
Yes, for everything we build. You receive the theme source, every custom app and integration service, and any headless front end, each with its full commit history, environment configuration, API documentation and deployment credentials. The BigCommerce platform itself stays BigCommerce's: your store runs on your own BigCommerce account and plan, and your catalog, customers and orders can be exported at any time. Your team or any other company can carry on the work after handoff.
How fast can a BigCommerce store realistically be delivered?
That depends on the offer. A catalogue product that fits your idea - web app, admin panel and mobile apps - is live under your brand in 6 working days, on its own stack rather than BigCommerce. Anything built on BigCommerce is custom: a theme, an app, an integration or a whole store takes 2-8 weeks, depending on scope. You get the timeline in writing before we ask for any payment.
BigCommerce vs Shopify - which does Miracuves recommend?
It depends on the store. Miracuves recommends BigCommerce for larger catalogs, B2B selling with quotes and price lists, several storefronts from one account, and brands that want no platform transaction fee on top of card processing. We recommend Shopify for direct-to-consumer brands that want the widest choice of themes and apps and the quickest launch. Both are hosted and we build on both, so the advice does not depend on which one we sell.
What is included in the admin panel with every delivery?
Each catalogue platform ships with its own browser-based admin panel for users, orders and bookings, analytics, content, payouts and settings. A BigCommerce store is run from BigCommerce's own control panel - products, orders, customers, promotions and channels - and the custom apps Miracuves builds open inside it, so your team works in one place.
Does Miracuves handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Only the ready-made platform has phone apps to submit: Miracuves sends them to the App Store and Google Play as part of that delivery, handling certificates, listings and review coordination, while Apple and Google set the review times. BigCommerce work has no app-store step. A private app made for your store installs directly, and a public app meant for other merchants goes through BigCommerce's App Marketplace review, with Miracuves preparing and submitting the listing.
What happens after the app is delivered if there are bugs?
Each BigCommerce delivery carries 60 days of post-launch technical support: a bug in the theme, apps or integrations we handed over is fixed at no extra charge. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted on its own, and monthly maintenance retainers are offered at our published rates.
How does Miracuves handle NDA and confidentiality?
Miracuves signs a bilateral NDA before you share any project details. It covers your technical details, business logic, supplier and pricing data, and IP. An IP assignment agreement, confirming that 100% ownership of the code we write transfers to you, is signed at project start - not at the end.
Is your BigCommerce team in Navi Mumbai, or can you work with stores in Perth, Sydney or New York?
Miracuves is based in Mumbai, so brands in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai work with a team in their own city. We have no office in Perth, Sydney or New York; stores there are built remotely by the same team, with calls set in your working hours and a first response in under 2 hours, Mon-Sat 10:00-19:00 IST. BigCommerce suits remote delivery: the control panel, theme previews and app installs are all reached online, so nothing needs anyone on site.
Should I hire a freelance BigCommerce developer or a development company?
A freelancer is often enough for a theme adjustment or a single app install. Once the work spans a theme, custom apps, an ERP sync and a migration, someone has to own how those parts fit together, and that is where a company earns its fee. At Miracuves you contract with the company, not individual developers: a BigCommerce engineer, a backend engineer, QA and a project manager work to a written scope, custom work runs 2-8 weeks, and a retainer from $2,299/month keeps the same team on your store after launch.
Can Miracuves migrate our store to BigCommerce from Magento, WooCommerce or Shopify?
Yes. Products, categories, customers and order history move through BigCommerce's import tools and APIs, and every old URL gets a 301 redirect so search rankings carry over. Customer passwords usually cannot be moved, because the old platform stores them hashed, so customers set a new one at their first login. We run the migration on a preview store, check the catalog and a sample of orders with your team, and switch DNS only when both sides agree.
