BigCommerce: pricing, plans and alternatives
BigCommerce is a hosted ecommerce platform for building and running an online store. Plans include multi-currency, real-time shipping quotes, marketplace and POS integrations, and a basic product feed tool. Plan level is tied to your yearly online sales.
Monthly price; about 25% less billed annually. Plan is set by trailing-12-month sales (GMV); Scale adds 0.9% on GMV above $33,333/month. Card processing from 2.89% + $0.29.
Best for
Growing stores that want a hosted platform with many built-in selling features and are fine with sales-based plan tiers.
Watch out for
Plans auto-upgrade once trailing-12-month sales pass a threshold ($30K on Core), and orders through a non-embedded payment provider carry an extra 0.6-2% fee.
