Shopify is DIFFERENT than BigCommerce. BigCommerce has a much larger feature set, including better facilitation of product options, large product catalogs, dynamic nested menus, and a lot more.

BigCommerce is agnostic of whether you drop ship or not. There are many fulfillment apps that dropshippers use to connect their dropshippers to BigCommerce for automated fulfillment. So yes.
