The Best Apps for BigCommerce
Over the years, I’ve tried countless tools and apps that enhance website functionality, improve marketing efforts or streamline common business activities. I’ve also gotten feedback on a variety of apps from my clients. Here are the 3rd party solutions I recommend to my clients and encourage you to consider for your BigCommerce store.
Essential E-Commerce Tools

Rewind
Automatically backup your store so you can easily recover products, categories, page content and more. Don’t risk losing your data due to a mistake – Rewind allows you to easily “roll back” to a previous save point so you’ll never have to worry.
Termageddon
Get a professional, customized privacy policy that automatically updates as laws change. States and countries continue to introduce new privacy laws, making it essential that your privacy policy stays up-to-date. Save 10% on your Termageddon license with the coupon code DUCKSOUP.
