BigCommerce – SaaS enterprise power with structured pricing

BigCommerce offers strong B2B, multi-channel, and API-first capabilities but may become costly for businesses with high revenue due to scaling subscription fees. Some businesses also find Shopify’s larger app marketplace and third-party integrations more flexible for rapid growth.

Advantages of BigCommerce:

  • fully hosted SaaS platform,
  • native B2B and international sales capabilities,
  • API-first architecture for headless commerce,
  • native ERP, CRM, POS, and marketplace integrations.

Disadvantages of BigCommerce:

  • subscription pricing increases as revenue grows,
  • smaller app marketplace compared to Shopify,
  • less flexibility for some third-party integrations,
  • limited backend customization access.

Shopify – SaaS simplicity with massive app ecosystem

Shopify delivers user-friendly e-commerce management with a huge app marketplace, multi-channel sales, and fully hosted SaaS infrastructure. It eliminates server management while offering powerful scalability, automation, and extensive third-party integrations.

Advantages of Shopify:

  • fully hosted SaaS platform with automatic updates,
  • massive app marketplace for feature expansion,
  • easy multi-channel selling across marketplaces and social platforms,
  • seamless integrations with many external tools and services.

Disadvantages of Shopify:

  • transaction fees on third-party payment gateways,
  • certain advanced features may require paid apps,
  • limited backend customization compared to open-source platforms.

  • you want a larger app marketplace for custom features,
