overwhelming with so many options on the market. Shopify vs BigCommerce stand out as two of the top solutions, but deciding between them isn\u2019t easy either.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two platforms serve similar purposes on the surface \u2013 providing the tools for merchants to create online stores. However, they differ in their target customers, built-in features, pricing models, and more. Knowing these distinctions is crucial before launching a store.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that assessing a few factors upfront about your business can clearly indicate whether Shopify or BigCommerce better suits your needs. Consider your product types, staff size, appetite for apps vs. built-ins, and other requirements.

According to a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/blog\/uploads\/files\/0c\/8d\/0c8d0450ca875b9ee04527d90f1f7172\/state_of_ecommerce_2023_by_semrush.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Semrush<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report, the global eCommerce industry traffic peaked at nearly 25 billion in early 2022.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, you&#8217;d expect the excitement to die down once COVID-related restrictions began falling away. This happened but to a minimal extent. Semrush data indicates that traffic was up 8% in the first three months of 2023.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stats are crazier when you shift the focus to sales.<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/outlook\/emo\/ecommerce\/worldwide#:~:text=Revenue%20in%20the%20eCommerce%20Market,US%244%2C991.00bn%20by%202028.\"> Statista<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> data projects that eCommerce businesses worldwide will sell $3.1 trillion worth of goods and services in 2023. The revenue will grow at a 10.06% CAGR between 2023 and 2028, reaching nearly $5 trillion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accordingly, it shouldn&#8217;t be surprising that plenty of activity is happening in the eCommerce technology space. The niche is rapidly evolving as companies work hard to create a more streamlined market for the<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/statistics\/how-many-people-shop-online\"> 2.64 billion <\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online shoppers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the 3.2 million eCommerce sites indexed by<\/span><strong> SimilarTech<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nearly 2% run on top of WooCommerce technology. Shopify takes second place with 0.92%.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the scale shifts in Shopify&#8217;s favor when considering only the top one million sites. In this respect, Shopify commands a 4.7% market share, over 0.6% ahead of WooCommerce.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although BigCommerce comes a distant 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the lineup, it powers close to 40,000 sites. Also, it is easy to excuse BigCommerce&#8217;s low adoption rates because the technology mainly focuses on business-to-business (B2B) usage scenarios.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interesting things begin to happen when you break the analysis of eCommerce software further down based on what section of business they focus on. For example, an<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecommerce-platforms.com\/articles\/the-best-b2b-ecommerce-platform\"> ECommerce Platforms<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> analysis lists BigCommerce as the most popular solution for online B2B usage. On the other hand,<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/ecommerce-platforms\/\"> eCommerceCEO<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ranks Shopify as the best platform for selling to consumers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why you can say that Shopify and BigCommerce are the top eCommerce platforms this year and into 2024. However, how do you choose when faced with a Shopify vs BigCommerce decision?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eddfc68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eddfc68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/3-1-1024x576.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16642\" alt=\"Deciding factors.

Loan amounts can range from $200 to $2 million.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Partnerships with financing companies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Shopify partners with several third-party lenders and financing companies to connect their merchants to small business loans, advances, and other credit products tailored to eCommerce companies.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Point-of-sale financing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Shopify&#8217;s retail hardware and POS systems allow merchants to offer financing options and split payments at checkout to increase average order value.

In such a crowded space, it takes technique to take the lead. For Shopify, one of its tactics is extending discounts on subscription plans.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify edges BigCommerce out in this area. Specifically, Shopify offers the following types of discounted or free plans for merchants:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 3-day free trial across five different plans (basic, Shopify for small businesses, advanced, starter, and retail), then a dollar per month for the first three months.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Basic Plan also comes with up to 77% shipping discount<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merchants who would like to learn more about eCommerce and Shopify, in particular, can do so free of charge through Shopify Compass.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discounted nonprofit plans are available, as well as free transactions on Shopify Payments.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, BigCommerce offers 15-day free trials for new merchants and three months of free usage if they sign up before the trial period elapses. It might seem that BigCommerce edges Shopify out, but there is more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you sign up for a Shopify account, you get a 25% discount if you pay annually. In contrast, BigCommerce users will get a 10% discount on similar plans.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, in terms of reducing barriers to entry and making eCommerce more accessible to new businesses, Shopify is the leader with their comprehensive discounted plans.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20b803c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20b803c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Load time and page speed<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-477133bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"477133bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/bigcommerce-vs-shopify\/\"> eCommerceCEO<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> analysis puts Shopify stores at the head of the load time ranking \u2013 the stores&#8217; average load time is 1.3 seconds.

Shopify provides the options for merchants to handle their stores on the go, making it more functional. Also, the Shopify app allows sellers to manage orders and reports.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, BigCommerce offers one of the best mobile experiences with regard to built-in features. The vast number of app options and built-in features make BigCommerce easily scalable. But this comes at a cost.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BigCommerce&#8217;s feature-rich mobile app has a steep learning curve.

Merchants can use it to seamlessly accept credit cards with competitive rates and no long-term commitments. Importantly, sellers incur lower costs when they choose Shopify&#8217;s payment gateways.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to Shopify Payments, Shopify integrates with over one hundred traditional and alternative payment gateways globally (BigCommerce offers integrations with less than 70 payment gateways). These include major players like Stripe, PayPal, and Square, as well as region-specific options.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, there is Shopify POS. Shopify&#8217;s POS (point-of-sale) system for brick-and-mortar retailing comes with several integrated payment systems like tap, chip, pin, swipe, and mobile wallets. This reduces the need for extra hardware.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although BigCommerce provides this functionality, the feature is not proprietary like Shopify&#8217;s. Instead, you&#8217;d have to set up third-party POS solutions like Stripe Terminal, Square, AmberPOS, ShopKeep, Heartland Retail, and Clover.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the specific functionality of your BigCommerce POS system varies depending on which third-party solution you integrate into your store.

This can lead to a smoother setup and operation of an online store without the complexities of managing multiple external integrations.

So, you&#8217;d be right to assume that its pricing structure favors high-volume merchants. Specifically:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No transaction fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 While Shopify Payments eliminates additional transaction fees, using external payment gateways incurs additional costs. High-volume merchants may find the transaction fees consequential. BigCommerce takes a different approach \u2013 it does not charge extra transaction fees, regardless of the payment gateway used. This means merchants with a high sales volume earn considerable cost savings.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Enterprise plan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; BigCommerce offers a customized Enterprise plan for mega-merchants doing over $50M in annual online sales. It has dedicated enterprise support, peak sales assistance, and global expansion features.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for any merchant projecting large volumes of monthly transactions, BigCommerce provides a much more cost-effective and scale-ready pricing structure without volume penalties.

On the other hand, Shopify charges merchants extra monthly fees for adding staff beyond the base 15 users for advanced plans.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can become a significant cost differential when managing a more extensive business team. Some key advantages of BigCommerce&#8217;s unlimited accounts include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No user management headaches<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Merchants don&#8217;t have to worry about managing user seats or continuously adding and removing accounts.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\">product information management (PIM)<\/a> solution takes in all details about your products from all sources and stores them in a database.

If nothing else, this versatility simplifies the decision about using either of the top eCommerce platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the one hand, Catsy&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/shopify-dam-pim-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shopify PIM<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;provides an industry-leading Shopify API that facilitates seamless communication between the two platforms. If you have multiple stores, you know that Shopify doesn&#8217;t offer native capabilities to manage them centrally. Catsy pulls down the walls among the stores, allowing you to centralize critical processes. For example, you can enrich assets in DAM and bulk edit images to meet Shopify&#8217;s high-res rules just once and syndicate the high-quality product content to up to five stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Catsy has purpose-built B2B features in&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/bigcommerce-pim-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BigCommerce PIM<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;that fit perfectly into the BigCommerce ecosystem. For example, brands and distributors managing thousands of attributes can utilize Catsy to manage SKUs and share to all key B2B channels.

For most brands, it&#8217;ll come down to picking which platform best matches a particular direction and game plan from the get-go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want to sell to other businesses and want a store that offers all the features you might need? BigCommerce could be your choice. Going all out on a nimble site and an accompanying functional mobile app? Then maybe Shopify&#8217;s your pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See, the differences really come out in the details tailored to you. Once you figure out whether you&#8217;re selling to consumers or doing big business supplies, that&#8217;ll clue you in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So sort out your must-haves first, then let the rest line up. That way, when your store&#8217;s raking in sales, you&#8217;ll just know you picked the one primed for your style from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Shopify vs BigCommerce, the right platform for you comes down to your business needs.
