The best of WordPress and ecommerce combined
Content + Commerce
You've built a beautiful thing. Branding that differentiates, content that brings customers back, and a site that flows perfectly. With our WordPress ecommerce plugin, you don't have to compromise that beauty for fully customizable commerce.
Experience + Shopping
BigCommerce for WordPress lets you focus on tailoring your front-end experience without treating ecommerce like an afterthought. Our plugin blends ecommerce functionality with the carefully crafted WordPress experience you've already built — meeting your customers' expectations every step of the way.
Multiple Sites + One Control Panel
Even if you sell across multiple WordPress sites, you shouldn't have to manage them all in separate places. BigCommerce gives you a single control panel to manage your catalog, orders, and shipping, all from one place. Streamline your admin experience and spend less time managing ecommerce on WordPress.

The benefits of headless, with the ease of a plugin
Scale your business with WordPress on the front-end and allow BigCommerce to free up server resources from things like catalog management, processing payments, and managing fulfillment logistics on the back-end.
Let us handle PCI compliance
BigCommerce powers your checkout experience, taking on the burden of PCI compliance on our platform.
Avoid draining resources
Processing orders and running ecommerce operations shouldn't affect the uptime and speed of your site. Hosted on Google Cloud Platform, BigCommerce handles the heavy commerce lifting, bringing you the ability to scale without losing speed or uptime.
Simplify catalog management
No need to code or install additional apps to support commerce features as your business scales. Utilize the full power of the BigCommerce feature set in the open-source environment you already love.
“The BigCommerce commitment to open SaaS was a big driver in our decision to take on the project. The free integration lives within and is supported through the WordPress.org plugin directory. BigCommerce does the development the WordPress way and supports the WordPress way as well.”
Travis Totz, Director of New Projects, Modern Tribe
A radically different approach to WordPress Ecommerce
Made the WordPress Way
From the beginning, we set out to build our integration the WordPress Way: deliver value to the community, build it with WordPress experts, and offer something developers can make their own.
Designed to support your unique vision
No iFrames or Javascript necessary — get full catalog data access within WordPress and shape your store as you see fit. Simply hook into our WordPress ecommerce plugin and drive your storefront experience forward.
Unrestricted access to key plugin files
Have a highly customized theme and site? We've got you covered. Our plugin supports WordPress’ standard method of overriding template files so you can modify out-of-the-box designs. Customize your product cards, lists, and cart without risking plugin updates that will undo your changes.
AMP-Enabled and Gutenberg Ready
Built for speed
BigCommerce for WordPress is now AMP-enabled! Deliver the fastest ecommerce page load speeds possible with AMP for WordPress enabled on your site.
Built for the future
With the change of default editor to Gutenberg, the editing experience for WordPress has evolved. We believe this represents the future of WordPress, and as such, we've built the BigCommerce for WordPress plugin to be Gutenberg-compatible.
“I’m impressed BigCommerce supported Gutenberg immediately on release. They were ahead of the curve and if they continue to innovate ahead of others they could be an even bigger powerhouse.”
Patrick Rauland, Ecommerce Educator at LinkedIn Learning
