Guided BigCommerce Launch Bootcamp

This live, instructor-led bootcamp walks you through the key decisions and setup steps involved in launching a BigCommerce store, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. This is a guided, do-it-yourself program, not a full-service store build.

About the Bootcamp

The Launch Bootcamp is a good fit if you:

  • Are early in the process of launching a BigCommerce store
  • Want to do the setup yourself, but don’t want to figure everything out alone
  • Have a limited budget and prefer guidance over a done-for-you build
  • Are comfortable building your store yourself with expert guidance (rather than hiring someone to build it for you)
  • Want to understand what matters at launch, and what can wait

This is especially helpful if you’ve started setting things up already but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you’re making the right decisions.

By the end of the bootcamp, you’ll have:

  • A clear roadmap for launching your store
  • Confidence in your theme, catalog, and setup decisions
  • A better understanding of how BigCommerce works behind the scenes
  • A realistic picture of what’s involved in launching and running your store

You may launch during the program or shortly after, but the primary goal is clarity, not rushing to go live.

About the Sessions

The Launch Bootcamp consists of four live sessions, held over four weeks. Each session is approximately one hour, with:

  • 45–50 minutes of guided instruction and walkthroughs
  • 10–15 minutes reserved for live Q&A

This is a guided, DIY program. I’ll show you where things live in the BigCommerce control panel, explain why certain decisions matter, and help you think through your setup. It does not include done-for-you setup—this is a guided program where you build your store with support.

  • Each session includes 1–2 hours of homework
  • Homework involves applying what you learned to your own store
  • Session recordings will be provided so you can review later if needed

Session 1: Store Setup & Theme
Setting up your store, choosing a theme, and configuring theme settings in Page Builder.

Session 2: Products & Catalog Structure
Creating user-friendly navigation and learning the basics of setting up products, categories, and brands.

Session 3: Operations & Launch Essentials
Configuring shipping, payments, tax settings, required pages, and core marketing integrations.

Session 4: Finishing Up & Next Steps
Homepage best practices, testing before launch, going live, and optional next steps after launch.

If you’re looking for a fully built BigCommerce store handled for you, this program won’t be the right fit. You can learn more about my full-service BigCommerce store launch here.
