Why BigCommerce Offers More Checkout Flexibility

BigCommerce gives you full checkout customization on every plan. No Plus tier required.

Unlike Shopify, BigCommerce allows checkout code access and customization on Standard, Plus, and Pro plans. You get one-page checkout, custom fields, and branded checkout without paying $2,000+/month for Shopify Plus. BigCommerce also charges zero transaction fees on third-party gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen), so you keep more of every sale.

We optimize BigCommerce checkout for conversion: Optimized One-Page Checkout, payment expansion (60+ gateways), and headless setups. For custom storefronts, we build with the Checkout JS SDK and Open Checkout. Our clients typically see 33% lower cart abandonment and 47% faster load times.
