BigCommerce
Open SaaS ecommerce platform for B2C, B2B, headless and composable commerce with enterprise APIs, multi-storefront and strong payment flexibility.
BigCommerce provides hosted B2C/B2B commerce, product/catalog management, checkout, promotions, multi-storefront, headless/composable architecture, Catalyst, APIs, internationalization and enterprise B2B capabilities. The 2026 platform has also added faster checkout, advanced promotions and new AI/agentic commerce workflows.
G2 currently rates BigCommerce 4.2/5 from 582 reviews and Capterra rates it 4.4/5 from 341, with Capterra ease of use and customer service both at 4.2. Users value robust commerce features and headless flexibility but frequently cite a clunkier admin, developer dependence and slower ecosystem velocity than Shopify.
BigCommerce's June 2026 packaging is clearly priced at Core $39/$29 annual-equivalent, Growth $105/$79 and Scale $399/$299, with Performance custom from $1,499/month. However, GMV-based automatic plan movement, Scale overages and new Open Payment Provider fees increase pricing complexity.
BigCommerce currently advertises 1,200+ apps, 600+ integrations, 20+ embedded payment providers and 130+ payment solutions. Its Trust Center lists Level 1 PCI DSS, SOC 1/2/3 and multiple ISO certifications including 27001:2022, 27017, 27018 and 27701.
