Before you switch

Should you replace BigCommerce?

Why people stay 5

BigCommerce does not add its own transaction fee on top of payment gateway processing charges.
All standard plans include round-the-clock phone, chat and ticket support.
Unlimited products, storage and bandwidth leave room for catalog growth without separate hosting limits.
Built-in merchandising functions reduce the number of paid apps needed for common store operations.
Managed hosting, security updates and PCI responsibilities remove substantial infrastructure work.

Why people switch 4

Annual sales thresholds can force an automatic plan upgrade even when the store does not need additional features.
Theme editing is less approachable than a visual site builder, and substantial Stencil changes often require a developer.
Many specialized B2B and enterprise capabilities sit behind costly plans, add-ons or negotiated contracts.
Premium themes, app subscriptions and agency work can push total costs far beyond the advertised plan price.
