BigCommerce alternative

Commerce without moving your whole site to a platform.

BigCommerce is a full hosted platform: you rebuild your site on it, and its plans bump you up a tier once your online sales cross a threshold. Shoprocket takes the other approach, it embeds a real cart and checkout into the site you already have, on flat pricing with 0% platform fees.

● The tradeoff

A full platform is a lot of platform.

BigCommerce is powerful, but it wants to be your entire storefront: you build on their system, live on their hosting, and their plan tiers (Standard, Plus, Pro) carry annual online-sales thresholds that push you to the next tier as you grow. For a lot of sellers that's more platform, and more migration, than the job actually needs.

The Shoprocket approach

Add the commerce. Keep the site.

01

Your site stays your site.

Embed a cart and checkout into whatever you run today, WordPress, Webflow, Framer, a static site, and skip the full replatform BigCommerce asks for.

02

Flat pricing, no sales-threshold jumps.

A flat monthly plan from $29/mo with 0% platform fees. Growing your sales doesn't quietly push you onto a pricier tier.

03

Your own payment accounts.

Connect your own Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, or crypto. Your funds settle to your account on your processor's schedule.

04

Sell across channels from one store.

The same catalogue powers your site plus Google and Meta feeds, without a separate storefront to maintain.

The tier ladder

Growth never triggers a plan upgrade.

Platform pricing that steps up with your sales means your costs climb exactly when you'd rather reinvest. Shoprocket's flat plan doesn't move because you had a good month. You pay for the software, not a slice of your growth.

● Common questions

BigCommerce vs Shoprocket, answered.

For sellers weighing a full platform against an embed.

Do I have to rebuild my site to use Shoprocket?+
No. That's the core difference. BigCommerce is a platform you build your site on; Shoprocket embeds into the site you already run. Paste a snippet and you have a cart and checkout, no migration.
Does Shoprocket bump my plan as my sales grow?+
No. Pricing is a flat monthly plan with 0% platform fees. BigCommerce's tiers carry online-sales thresholds that move you up as you grow; Shoprocket's plan doesn't change because you sold more.
Can I use my own payment processor?+
Yes. Connect your own Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, or crypto account. Funds settle to your account on your processor's normal schedule; Shoprocket never holds your money.
Is Shoprocket a fit if I want a full hosted store?+
Yes. You can run a hosted storefront on your own domain as well as, or instead of, embedding. The difference from BigCommerce is that hosting isn't the only option and there's no forced migration.
