Overview

What is BigCommerce?

Where BigCommerce fits

BigCommerce is a hosted commerce platform with product, order, customer, promotion and storefront tools in one admin. It suits catalogs that need variants, multi-currency selling, B2B functions or several storefronts without maintaining the commerce backend. Its open APIs and headless options give developers room to use custom front ends, while the app marketplace covers payments, shipping, tax and marketing. Plans are paid, and annual online-sales thresholds can trigger an automatic upgrade, so total cost depends on revenue as well as apps and design work.

Common ways teams use it

  • Growing retail brand: Run a branded store across channels while keeping inventory and orders centralized.
  • B2B seller: Add customer groups, price lists and account-based purchasing workflows, with deeper functions concentrated in higher tiers or add-ons.
  • Complex build: Pair BigCommerce’s catalog and checkout with a CMS or custom headless storefront.
