About BigCommerce

BigCommerce competes on openness: no transaction fees on any plan, more built-in features than Shopify before apps, and APIs friendly to headless builds. B2B capabilities like price lists and quote management are genuinely strong. Its theme and app ecosystems are smaller, and annual sales thresholds force plan upgrades, but total cost often lands lower.

Key Features

  • Multi-channel selling
  • B2B price lists and quotes
  • Headless commerce APIs
  • Native SEO controls
  • Multi-storefront

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Zero transaction fees anywhere
  • Strong native feature set
  • Excellent headless APIs

Cons

  • Smaller app marketplace
  • Sales thresholds trigger upgrades
  • Fewer premium themes

Frequently Asked Questions

BigCommerce or Shopify?
