BigCommerce Training
This online training program was delivered for a Deloitte client to build practical BigCommerce delivery skills for corporate teams. The curriculum started with Stencil fundamentals, local setup, theme bundling/deployment, Handlebars, and component structure, then moved into Widget Builder workflows for creating, uploading, updating, and deleting widgets. Participants also worked with the Storefront GraphQL API (playground, product/cart/category/page queries), B2B multi-storefront concepts including hierarchy and quote use cases, and Headless development with BigCommerce Catalyst. The program additionally covered BigCommerce partner certification, partner portal onboarding, marketplace extension release flow, marketplace plugin integration, and a final sample project demonstrating how to build a custom solution by extending BigCommerce headless APIs.
