A BigCommerce Alternative Without the Tier Games
BigCommerce prices its plans by how much you sell — grow past a revenue threshold and you're pushed to a pricier tier automatically. MAXXCommerce charges one flat fee to build your store. What you sell after that is yours to keep.
Growing Your Store Shouldn't Cost You More Platform Fees
BigCommerce is a capable platform, especially for stores that need B2B features out of the box. But its pricing model ties your monthly bill to your revenue — cross an annual sales threshold and BigCommerce moves you to the next plan up, whether you wanted the upgrade or not.
A MAXXCommerce ecommerce store runs on the Ecommerce Templates (ECT) cart with a one-time build fee. Sell $10,000 a month or $100,000 a month — your platform cost doesn't change. If you need B2B or wholesale features specifically, see B2B Ecommerce.

BigCommerce Alternative FAQ
Why do people look for a BigCommerce alternative?
BigCommerce plans are priced by annual online sales volume, so as your store grows, you can be pushed into a higher-priced plan automatically. A MAXXCommerce store has one flat build fee regardless of how much you sell.
Does MAXXCommerce support B2B and wholesale features like BigCommerce?
Yes — tiered pricing, quote-based ordering, and bulk discounts can all be built into an ECT store. See our B2B Ecommerce page for details.
Can you migrate my BigCommerce catalog?
Yes — send us your store URL and product count and we'll scope moving your catalog, images, and descriptions onto the ECT cart.
What about my existing BigCommerce app integrations?
Tell us what each app does — shipping, accounting, marketplace sync — and we'll tell you whether it's a standard feature, a custom build, or not needed.
