Commerce Live was packed with big announcements this year. Blayzer’s Brad Goldenberg and Mike Landau were there to hear it all firsthand, and they came back with plenty of notes to share. Among the most important news: significant updates to BigCommerce plans, pricing, and payment options.

If you’re running a store on the BigCommerce platform (or have been thinking about it), here’s what’s changing and what it means for your business. For most store owners, it’s good news.

TL;DR —  More flexibility, better value at each stage, and pricing that makes sense for real businesses.

Here's What's Changing with BigCommerce in 2026

New BigCommerce Plans & Updated Pricing

BigCommerce just rolled out its 2026 pricing updates. The plan names are changing, the structure is getting cleaner, and — good news! — prices are staying the same for most plans. The one thing to know: if you’re on Scale and processing high order volume, the overage fee structure has changed. Check out the new BigCommerce plans and pricing below. Our experts can break it down for you if you have any questions.

 

Investing in Agentic Commerce

Beyond pricing, BigCommerce is putting real investment into agentic commerce, an AI-driven approach that helps stores deliver more personalized, responsive shopping experiences at scale. Taken together, these updates say something important about where the platform is headed. If you’re already on BigCommerce, your investment is paying off. If you’re still weighing a move, you’d be getting in at a moment when the platform is actively building toward where ecommerce is going.

New Payment Options That Give You More Freedom

One of the most practical changes coming in 2026 is how BigCommerce handles payment partners. The platform is moving toward a more open ecosystem, giving merchants broader access to the providers that work best for their business, their customers, and their margins.

Previously, BigCommerce kept a tighter structure around preferred payment providers. The new direction opens that up considerably. You have more say over which gateway you use, what your transaction fees look like, and how your checkout is built.

For Blayzer clients, this is a direct benefit. We partner with some of the most trusted payment and tax solution providers in ecommerce, and the expanded BigCommerce ecosystem makes it easier to put the right tools in place for your store. That includes:

PayPal: One of the most recognized checkout experiences in the world, with strong consumer trust and broad compatibility

Stripe Logo

Stripe: A flexible, developer-friendly payment processor well-suited to stores with custom needs or subscription components

Additional payment and tax solution partners available through Blayzer’s ecommerce partner ecosystem

More choice at the payment layer means more control over one of the most critical parts of your customer’s experience. Checkout friction is a leading cause of abandoned carts. When your payment stack matches your customers’ preferences and your business structure, you remove a real barrier to conversion.

Why Now Is a Smart Time to Start or Switch to BigCommerce

If You're Already on BigCommerce:

The 2026 updates are a good reason to revisit your current setup. If your plan, payment configuration, or site architecture was built around the old pricing model, now is the right time to make sure it still fits. A quick review with your BigCommerce agency can surface whether the new structure saves you money, unlocks capabilities you weren’t using, or makes a plan upgrade worth another look.

Getting ahead of these changes now also means a smoother transition later. Merchants who plan around updates rather than react to them tend to come out ahead.

If You're Considering a Switch from Another Platform:

If you’re on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or another platform and you’ve been sitting on the migration decision, this is a reasonable moment to move. Migrating at the start of a new pricing structure means you build on a foundation that was designed to scale with you, not one you’ll have to work around.

BigCommerce also has the depth to handle complex catalogs, custom business rules, and high-volume growth without requiring a full platform rebuild every few years. That kind of stability is worth building toward sooner rather than later.

If You’re Launching Your First Store:

Starting on BigCommerce now means starting on current infrastructure, not inheriting workarounds from an older setup. You get the new payment flexibility, the evolving AI capabilities, and a pricing structure that grows with you from day one. That’s a better starting position than waiting.
