Overview

BigCommerce is a cloud-hosted e-commerce (SaaS) platform that enables you to build an online store, list products, handle payments and shipping, and integrate with marketplaces and other channels.

If you’re running an online business (or thinking of launching one) you need more than just a website builder — you need order management, payments, shipping integrations, analytics, and multi-channel capabilities. BigCommerce packs a lot of those into one platform, helping you: launch faster, avoid building from scratch, scale as your store grows, and sell through multiple channels (e.g., your site, Amazon, eBay).

FAQ

Can I use BigCommerce to sell internationally (multiple currencies/languages)? ▼

Yes — the platform supports multi-currency, multi-language storefronts and has features geared for global commerce.

Are there transaction fees from BigCommerce when I make a sale? ▼

No — BigCommerce does not charge additional transaction fees on its plans; you still pay normal payment gateway fees (e.g., credit card processing).

What happens if my annual sales exceed the limit for my plan? ▼

If you exceed the annual online sales threshold of your plan (e.g., ~ $50k for Standard, ~ $180k for Plus) you typically will need to move up to the next tier (or pay over-limit fees) — so you should plan accordingly.

Can I integrate the storefront with another front-end (headless setup)? ▼

Yes — BigCommerce supports headless commerce via APIs and is built for developers who want to use a separate front-end or custom UI.

Does each plan include unlimited products and storage? ▼

Yes — even the entry-level plans allow unlimited products, file storage and bandwidth (no artificial limit on how many SKUs you can list).

What support levels are available? ▼

Standard support is available across plans; for Enterprise you get priority routing, dedicated support, and more tailored services.
