BigCommerce’s Limitations Are Capping Your Growth
BigCommerce’s smaller app ecosystem, limited theme selection, and revenue-based pricing tiers create a ceiling for growing brands. Shopify’s ecosystem is 8x larger, checkout conversion is 50% higher with Shop Pay, and pricing doesn’t penalize you for success.
