BigCommerce pricing, by sales volume.

How it is calculated

Plans: Core up to $30K, Growth up to $100K, Scale above (annual online sales, trailing twelve months, as BigCommerce defines them). Plan fee: Core $39 monthly or $29 billed yearly; Growth $105 or $79; Scale $399 or $299. Orders through embedded payment providers carry no BigCommerce fee; gateways outside that list add 2%, 1% or 0.6% by plan. BigCommerce states a 0.9% overage on Scale for GMV above $33,333 a month, and says GMV applies a 10% reduction to gross order value; this tool applies 0.9% to gross sales above $33,333, so it may slightly overstate the overage (verified on bigcommerce.com/pricing, 2026-10-18). Card rate starts at 2.89% + $0.29. Check BigCommerce's definition of GMV and its Performance plan (custom, from $1,499 a month) before relying on the result.

Currency. The Shopify and Squarespace pages we read were served in Canadian dollars; the BigCommerce and WooCommerce pages in US dollars. The calculator does not convert silently: enter today's USD rate to compare in your currency, or leave it at 1.00 to treat every amount as one currency. Prices exclude tax and change often, so confirm on the vendor page before you buy.

Not modelled: sales tax, themes, apps and paid extensions (except where you enter them), currency-conversion and international-card surcharges, disputes, instant payouts, volume discounts, negotiated rates, Shopify Plus and BigCommerce Performance (custom or enterprise pricing). This is an estimate, not a quote. Squarespace's help center says its Basic, Core, Plus and Advanced plans are rolling out in waves, so your account may still show legacy plans.

FAQ

Why does BigCommerce limit sales by plan?

BigCommerce sets annual online sales limits on Core and Growth. If your trailing twelve-month sales exceed the limit you move up a plan, which is why this calculator shows only the plans you qualify for.

Does BigCommerce charge transaction fees?

Not for orders processed through its embedded payment providers. It charges 2%, 1% or 0.6% (by plan) for providers outside that list.

What is the card rate?

BigCommerce lists a starting rate of 2.89% + $0.29 per transaction on all plans; lower negotiated rates may be available to qualifying U.S. businesses.
