I'm planning to launch a second online store in the US, this time selling home decor and small furniture without keeping inventory myself.

I don't want to spend hours updating supplier stock, changing prices, and forwarding orders manually. Has anyone used BigCommerce for this kind of store? How much can you automate without building custom integrations?

The platform is only half the equation here because a lot depends on what your suppliers can actually send you. Before you build out the catalog, check which suppliers already work with BigCommerce and how often their stock and variant data gets updated. I'd also ask how quickly they ship across the US and what their return process looks like. A supplier with messy inventory data can create more work than the store platform itself.
