BigCommerce vs StoreHippo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick BigCommerce if

• Fits if you want discount types and shipping rules built in rather than added as apps
• Works for selling on Amazon, eBay and Walmart from one catalog

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your sales are growing, as passing $30K a year moves you up to Growth at $79 a month
• Pricey if you want abandoned-cart emails, customer groups or stored cards, which start on Growth at $79 a month
• Watch out: paying through a provider outside BigCommerce's list adds 2% a sale on Core and 1% on Growth
• Watch out: Scale covers $33,333 of sales a month and charges 0.9% on anything above it
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only a 15-day trial

Pick StoreHippo if

• Fits if you are an Indian merchant who wants local logistics and payment options
• Works for a multi-vendor marketplace or several stores on one platform

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are small, at ₹15,000 a month before the 1% fee
• Not for you if you want a refund, as cancelling gives none for the rest of the period
• Skip it if you want a trial, since none is listed
• Watch out: B2B, multi-seller and multi-store need Enterprise at ₹30,000, and each plan has a sales volume limit before fees apply

BigCommerce

• Each plan caps sales over the past twelve months (gross order value minus 10%); passing $30K on Core or $100K on Growth moves the store up a plan.
• Orders paid through providers outside BigCommerce's embedded list carry a fee of 2% on Core, 1% on Growth and 0.6% on Scale.
• Scale covers $33,333 of sales a month and charges 0.9% on sales above that.
• Customer groups, abandoned-cart emails and stored cards need Growth or higher, and product filtering needs Scale.

StoreHippo

• Prices are shown in rupees and exclude taxes; a USD option exists on the page but could not be read, so no dollar price is recorded.
• Transaction fees apply: 1% per order on Business and 0.5% on Enterprise, and the FAQ says each plan has a sales volume limit before fees apply.
• Cancelling is allowed at any time, but no refund is given for the rest of the subscription period.
• The pricing page does not say which term (6 months or 12 months) the displayed monthly rate is for.
