Frequently asked questions (FAQs).

The BigCommerce platform starts as low as $29 per month (paid annually). The cost will vary based on the plan you select, the size of your business, and the features you require. For more information on our different plans and what each includes, please visit our Pricing page.

BigCommerce Essentials is best for small businesses that have under $1M in online revenue, are growing quickly, and need the flexibility and freedom of choice that a simple one-size-fits-all-solution doesn’t offer.



BigCommerce is also an excellent choice for brands that sell DTC, B2C, and/or B2B. With native B2B features, like restricted log-in and customer groups, it’s easy to set up your store to sell to both business buyers and consumers — from one platform.



We also have experience with virtually every industry, so whether you’re selling apparel, sporting goods, food and beverage, homeware and furniture, auto parts, machinery and tools, or any other products — even digital ones — BigCommerce can support you.



Our platform does involve a bit more of a learning curve, compared to platforms like Wix or Squarespace, so if you are a beginner make sure you take advantage of our free Launch Foundations webinar series, or consider a Launch Coaching Package.

BigCommerce is the best platform for growth-oriented businesses who prioritize freedom of choice and partnership. BigCommerce provides the capabilities of other platforms without forcing you to use a particular provider (for payments, shipping, tax, or anything else your business may need).



We also believe in providing the best support possible to our customers. Every BigCommerce plan includes 24x7 live, US-based customer support by phone, chat, or email. BigCommerce also has your back each step of the way through building, running, and growing your ecommerce business.
