Announcements

BigCommerce will deprecate support for Stencil CLI version 6 and older starting June 3, 2024. This decision is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure optimal performance and security for all platform users.

Action required: To facilitate a smooth transition, we encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Stencil CLI before the deprecation date. Upgrading ensures you and your team access the latest enhancements and features.

How to upgrade: Run the following command in your terminal window to install the latest version.

npm i -g @bigcommerce/stencil-cli

If you have any questions or need assistance with the upgrade process, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team. We’re here to help ensure a seamless transition for your storefront.

We’ve updated our list of dev support options to include the Resource Hub.
