Your Commerce, Beyond Limits
Create commerce everywhere, all on the industry’s only open SaaS platform.
Lower total cost of ownership
Paying for infrastructure, development, hosting and maintenance with Magento adds up. Unlock profit to reinvest in growth with BigCommerce, leaving ongoing costs behind.
Security, reliability & performance
Don’t risk your brand—the average data breach cost $3.92M in 2019. Power up with uncompromising speed on Google Cloud Platform, all while maintaining PCI DSS compliance.
Flexible integrations & APIs
Focus on innovation, not the costs and complexity of Magento. Our open SaaS solution provides flexible, robust integrations to help you create unique commerce experiences.
Open SaaS vs Open Source
Use developer resources for revenue-driving initiatives instead of maintaining PCI DSS compliance, security patches and updates required by an open source platform.
Migration Success Stories
“I’ve worked with Magento before—but we needed a fast solution where we wouldn’t have to worry about the technical aspects of the migration. There was also a cost involved; moving to Magento would have been significantly more expensive. BigCommerce was the best fit for us.”
“Magento was one huge headache after another — from security updates to parts of our site not functioning. With BigCommerce, none of that is a concern now, which is great. We don’t have to spend time worrying about that, and we can spend time on running our business.”
“We found there were constant updates needed with Magento. Any plugins you had or any kind of apps that you had running, might not work after the update—leading to loss of sales.”
“Prior to BigCommerce, we were on Magento. For everything you wanted to do, there was a different functionality and plugin that you had to buy. We wanted flexibility to market to our customers, and BigCommerce lets us do anything we want from the get go.”
