Open SaaS ecommerce platform for growing and enterprise stores
BigCommerce is a SaaS ecommerce platform for building and scaling online stores, positioned as "Open SaaS" — the reliability of hosted software with the flexibility of open APIs. It gives merchants a large set of built-in features out of the box (product management, multi-channel selling, promotions, faceted search, and B2B capabilities) so many stores need fewer paid apps than on some competitors, and it notably charges no additional transaction fees on any plan regardless of the payment gateway used.
The platform supports both traditional and modern architectures. Merchants can run a full storefront with themes and a visual editor, sell across channels (Amazon, eBay, social, and marketplaces), and manage catalog, orders, and customers centrally; developers can go headless, using BigCommerce as a commerce backend behind a custom or CMS-driven front end via its robust APIs. Strong B2B features (price lists, quotes, customer groups), multi-storefront, and international selling make it a fit for complex and growing merchants, and integrations connect it to ERPs, marketing, and fulfillment tools.
BigCommerce serves SMB to mid-market and enterprise merchants, with plans tiered by online sales volume. As of a June 2026 rename, the plans are Core (formerly Standard) around $29/month annually, Growth (Plus) around $79, Scale (Pro) around $299, and Performance (Enterprise) custom-quoted — with no transaction fees on any tier. It competes with Shopify, Adobe Commerce (Magento), WooCommerce, and Wix, differentiating on built-in features, no transaction fees, and open/headless flexibility.
