What is BigCommerce?

BigCommerce is a subscription-based ecommerce platform designed for mid-market businesses and enterprises seeking greater flexibility and customization than entry-level alternatives. The platform enables merchants to build, design, and operate online stores with or without coding, offering both visual drag-and-drop interfaces and full API access for developers.

The platform supports multiple selling models, including B2C, B2B, and hybrid operations from a single backend system. BigCommerce provides multi-storefront capabilities, allowing businesses to run multiple brands or regional stores simultaneously. International expansion is facilitated through built-in multi-language and multi-currency support. The checkout experience includes customizable one-page design with digital wallets, one-click purchasing, and buy-now-pay-later options. Product management handles complex configurations including variants, bundles, and composite products. BigCommerce offers 20+ embedded payment providers without transaction fees, plus integration with 130+ additional payment solutions, addressing a key pain point for merchants comparing it to competitors charging per-transaction fees.

The platform includes inventory management, shipping automation, promotional tools, and a product feed optimization service called Feedonomics Surface for distribution across Google, Meta, TikTok, Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. Recent additions focus on B2B capabilities: account-specific pricing, quote management, purchase order automation, and buyer role-based permissions. The ecosystem contains over 1,200 third-party apps and integrations. Migration services support switching from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Salesforce, and other platforms, with professional services including implementation, project management, and solution architecture available for enterprise accounts.

BigCommerce serves brands including UPLIFT Desk, The RealReal, BMW, and Mizuno. The company offers a free trial with no
