According to google reports, current e-commerce
statistics state that 40 percent of worldwide
internet users have bought products or goods
online via desktop, mobile, tablet or other
online devices. This amounts to more than 1
billion online buyers and is projected to grow
exponentially. Anyone in search of a fully
hosted shopping cart, predominantly go for
Big-Commerce or Shopify. These are the two best
e-commerce solutions available in the market.
However, the choice becomes much more difficult
when it comes to choosing between BigCommerce vs
Shopify. It fully depends on the particular needs
of an individual. All shopping cart solutions
will be contrasted and evaluated, based on the
following parameters Cost What is the true
cost of running a store on these platforms and
which solution is cheaper? Out Of The Box Feature
Set Which cart does the box have more
features? 3rd Party Ecosystem That cart has an
ecosystem of larger apps? Model Which cart has
more versatility and themes that look
better? Optimization of the search engine Which
cart has great SEO functionality? Blogging Which
cart has more flexible options for blogging and
WordPress integration?

BigCommerce Vs Shopify Which Shopping Cart Costs
More?

• It can be difficult to find out the real cost
  of running an online store on either of these
  sites as it depends on the functionality you need
  for your shopping cart. All shopping carts seem
  to be priced exactly the same by design. But what
  you get is drastically different between the two
  for that base price. First of all, the Shopify
  shopping cart base is pretty bare bones and lacks
  a lot of features most shopping carts have out of
  the box. As a result, you will need to buy and
  pay for additional plugins with recurring fees to
  cover the functionality you lack. BigCommerce on
  the other hand, even with the lowest priced
  plans, is a fully featured shopping cart out of
  the box. But are these features that are missing
  really important? Its up to your needs. Just to
  give you an example, the discount and coupon
  program for BigCommerce is considerably better
  than out of the box for Shopify. While Shopify
  only allows you to discount a particular dollar
  or percentage, BigCommerce goes one step further
  to discount by allowing you to
• Offering buy and get a free promotion of the
  same or different item.
• Offer a random item at a discount when buying a
  specific item.
• Provide tiered quantity-based discounts.

• Offer discounts for repeat customers only.
• Offering these same discount options on Shopify
  allows you to pay multiple plugins bearing
  recurring monthly fees.
• The upshot is that to determine the true cost of
  either platform, you need to break down the
  functionality you need and take into account the
  added cost of recurring cost devices. In other
  words, you can not compare the price simply by
  looking at each shopping carts base monthly
  fees. Any Shopify app that you add will
  dramatically jack up the price.

BigCommerce Vs Shopify An Out Of The Box Pricing
Comparison Without Plugins

• Ultimately, the monthly pricing of BigCommerce is
  much easier to understand because it provides a
  robust box set feature. In other words, all
  BigCommerce plans, without paying for extra
  plugins, will have most of the functionality you
  need. No transaction fees, no charge for
  bandwidth, none. Instead, based on your annual
  revenue (trailing 12 months), you pay a flat
  monthly rate for your shopping cart plan. As of
  this 2019 update, BigCommerce charges
• A flat 29.95/month for a store that generates up
  to 50 K in annual revenue.
• A flat 79.95/month for a store that generates up
  to 150 K in annual revenue.
• A flat 249.95/month for a store that generates
  up to 400 K in annual revenue.
• In addition, BigCommerce allows you to use any
  arbitrary payment processor free of charge, while
  Shopify charges a 5-229.95/month for a store
  that generates up to 400 K in annual revenue.

BigCommerce Vs Shopify Which Cart Has A Better
App Ecosystem?
Although BigCommerce appears to be cheaper than
Shopify, it is stupid to judge a shopping cart
based solely on price. Essentially, if it will
help your company, it pays to spend more. At the
time of this release, Shopify powers
approximately 4X more stores than BigCommerce and
one of the greatest strengths of Shopify lies in
its 3rd party app ecosystem. For instance, if
theres a feature missing from your store, youre
likely to find an app that does just what you
need. In reality, the 3rd party ecosystem of
Shopifys app is almost six times the size of
BigCommerce. (This amount should be taken with a
salt grain as BigCommerce needs less plugins from
the box). As Shopify is a more popular platform,
more 3rd party developers can be drawn to write
apps for their cart. This also means that if you
need an expert to help with your design, there
are more Shopify developers to choose from.
Overall, this is Shopifys main advantage over
BigCommerce, and its a great advantage.
Generally speaking, a wider third-party community
ensures that cutting-edge shopping cart
technologies are more likely to hit Shopify
before BigCommerce.

BigCommerce Vs Shopify Which Cart Has Better
Search Engine Optimization?
Whatever you want, all shopping carts provide the
ability to adjust the SEO title tags and meta
descriptions. Yet one thing about Shopify thats
irritating is you cant customize your SEO URLs.
The words collections and things are
completely foreign terms that Shopify introduces
by default into the URL and you can not modify
this even with a workaround that results in a
suboptimal URL layout.
BigCommerce Vs Shopify Which Cart Is Better For
Blogging And Content Marketing?
Finally, every serious owner of an ecommerce
store will want to put a blog on their website.
After all, content marketing is an excellent way
for the search engines to generate free and
targeted traffic. Google and Bing represent more
than a third of my total sales each year for my
online store, and its 100 percent open. But the
problem with fully hosted ecommerce platforms
such as Shopify and BigCommerce is that they have
very limited functionality on their blogging
platforms.

Conclusion
Its not straightforward to decide between
Shopify and BigCommerce and theres no hands down
winner. Both carts have their strengths and
weaknesses, and depending on the functionality
you need, the right choice. BigCommerce wins
hands down in terms of features out of the box.
Youre not going to need that many applications
and the base price is indicative of what youre
going to spend monthly. As a result, it will
likely be less expensive to run your store on
BigCommerce than Shopify. When you plan to add a
WordPress blog alongside your shopping cart, then
because of their smooth WordPress integration,
BigCommerce also wins this matchup hands down.
Shopify, however, has a superior third-party
platform and much better support for third-party
developers. As a result, over any other shopping
cart, new cutting edge technologies are more
likely to reach Shopify first. If you really want
