The Global B2B Buyer Behavior Report
This in-depth report provides actionable strategies to help you sell more online.
Brands who chose BigCommerce over Shopify:
Unmatched flexibility.
Shopify’s gated ecosystem charges you for “outside” solutions, adding up when you try to expand and constraining innovation as your business matures. Shopify monetizes its client base through proprietary technologies with additional costs for using “outside” solutions. This creates a gated ecosystem.
BigCommerce empowers you to choose the best-in-class solutions for your unique business needs on a platform that’s flexible enough to evolve as you reach new stages of digital maturity. BigCommerce provides open choice to partner with best-in-class solutions. This empowers a flexible, modern ecommerce ecosystem.
Don’t just take our word for it.
Design seamless online brand experiences, your way.
“The question we asked ourselves was, ‘how do we find the quickest path to value? We didn't have 12 months to get things done, we had six months,” Naish recounts. We needed speed. We needed flexibility. We needed connectivity, but most importantly, we needed to demonstrate the viability of digital. BigCommerce had what we were looking for and it was cost effective, too.”
Luke Naish, Executive GM, Tradelink — Migrated from: Custom
Get modern capabilities and agility, natively.
“It was those two things, features and functionality, that really set BigCommerce apart from the pack and ultimately led us to replatform to BigCommerce.”
Joe Sharplin, Head of Ecommerce, AS Colour — Migrated from: Magento 1
Grow on your own terms, with no ceiling.
“BigCommerce is geared towards developers, but it also has that entry point where you can just jump in and start using it. You don't need to rebuild or reinvent the wheel if you don't want to, which was the big selling point for me.”
Steve Shapiro, Director of Ecommerce and IT, Music Direct — Migrated from: DotNetNuke
Adapt, launch, test, and innovate faster.
“Whether through price lists, customized commercial quotes or tax support, BigCommerce’s native functionality and extensive partner app marketplace delivers the hybrid B2C and B2B capabilities we needed to tailor our site to our diverse audiences.”
Sean Flaherty, Marketing Director, US Cutter — Migrated from: COREsense

More big differences.
Shopify acts as a payment gateway, a shipping and fulfillment provider, and an email marketing service — all under the label “ecommerce platform.”
In contrast, BigCommerce focuses all resources on building the best cloud-based, multi-channel platform in the industry — open enough to adapt to unique company needs and create commerce opportunities that wouldn’t be possible on other platforms.
Shopify offers few additional features beyond what is included in Shopify for small businesses, so several third-party apps are needed to reach native feature parity with BigCommerce.
BigCommerce natively offers Powerful B2B features, Multi-Storefront, Feedonomics, BOPIS, fully customizable check out, Amazon Buy with Prime integration, advanced promotions and loyalty — all intuitively managed from one platform — with automatic hosting, updates, compliance, and Tier 1 security included.
Shopify plans start at “$2,300 USD per month or a variable fee for higher volume businesses.”
BigCommerce Enterprise plans are custom tailored to your needs, annual online GMV, and desired configuration. While Shopify may raise fees for higher volume (in addition to charging for use of solutions outside their ecosystem), BigCommerce never adds transaction fees, and rewards your success by reducing the cost per order as you grow in volume.
