What this fee calculator makes clear
How BigCommerce pricing actually works
BigCommerce plans — Standard, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise — each have an online sales threshold. Once you cross it, your plan auto-upgrades, so model the next tier to avoid surprise invoices.
Unlike some competitors, BigCommerce charges no platform transaction fees. Your variable cost is purely payment processing — a percentage of sales plus a fixed fee per order.
Using BigCommerce Payments (powered by PayPal) gives you the best built-in rates. Third-party gateways work too, but their fees replace the BigCommerce rate shown here.
Add the plan subscription to the processing fees to get a true monthly cost. The calculator also shows your effective rate — a good comparison number when evaluating Shopify, WooCommerce, or any alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Does BigCommerce charge transaction fees?
No. Unlike some platforms, BigCommerce does not charge a per-transaction platform fee. The only variable cost is payment processing, which depends on your plan and processor.
What are the BigCommerce plan prices?
Standard is $39/mo, Plus is $105/mo, and Pro is $399/mo. Enterprise pricing is custom and depends on your sales volume. Each plan has an online sales threshold that triggers an auto-upgrade.
What payment processing rates does BigCommerce offer?
BigCommerce Payments (powered by PayPal) offers 2.59% + $0.49 on Standard, 2.35% + $0.49 on Plus, and 2.05% + $0.49 on Pro. Enterprise plans get even better rates.
Can I use a different payment processor?
Yes — Stripe, Square, Authorize.Net, and many others integrate with BigCommerce. Your processing cost is whatever your gateway charges; BigCommerce still doesn't add transaction fees on top.
When should I move up to the next BigCommerce plan?
BigCommerce auto-upgrades when your trailing 12-month sales cross a threshold. Standard caps at $50K, Plus at $180K, and Pro at $400K. Model the next tier in the calculator before you cross the line.
