common questions
What is BigCommerce?
BigCommerce is an open ecommerce platform that helps businesses build, manage and scale online stores. It provides a hosted storefront, secure checkout, payment integrations and multichannel selling tools, with no need to maintain your own infrastructure.
How much does BigCommerce cost?
BigCommerce starts at $29 per month, billed annually, on the Core plan. The self-service range also includes Growth and Scale, and there is a Performance plan. Check the pricing page for the current amounts of the higher plans.
Where does BigCommerce host my data, and is it GDPR-ready?
BigCommerce stores production data mainly in three Google Cloud regions: U.S. (Central), Australia (Southeast) and Germany (West Europe). Stores can be migrated among U.S., EU and AU regions. BigCommerce agrees to a GDPR Data Processing Addendum.
Does BigCommerce have AI features?
Yes, through AI-enabled apps. ThemeClerk, for example, turns plain-language requests into theme code updates you can review and apply. Other apps generate product descriptions, FAQs, blog articles and social posts. Page Builder and WYSIWYG tools handle page content.
Can I move my store away from BigCommerce?
Partly. Catalyst storefront code is a standard Next.js app and runs anywhere Next.js runs, but the full site and hosted data do not export that way. 301 redirects are available under Settings on paid plans to keep old URLs working.
