Reviews
"For us, we were looking beyond just the actual platform. We were looking for relationships, partnerships, and flexibilities that were going to meet our needs. Had several phone calls, but as soon as we talk with Mira Commerce, it was a no-brainer for us. It went beyond - we're here to kind of help implement what you're looking for - It was more of a partnership to find the tools that are best going to fit that."

"I was initially hesitant and concerned about the daunting task of both migrating my store from BigCommerce V2 to V3 and undergoing a complete website redesign at the same time. The Mira team met all my expectations and made the entire process smooth. From the outset, their professionalism was evident. They completed both the migration and redesign flawlessly and on schedule. The team was incredibly attentive to our needs, paying close attention to detail and ensuring every aspect aligned with our vision. I would be happy to recommend them to a friend."
