# Commerce without moving your whole site to a platform. > BigCommerce is a full hosted platform with sales-threshold plan upgrades. Shoprocket adds commerce to the site you already have, flat pricing, 0% platform fees. 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.

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. - ✓ Flat monthly plan, no revenue-based tiers - ✓ 0% platform fees on every sale - ✓ Your processor's standard fee is the only per-sale cost ● Side by side ## BigCommerce vs Shoprocket. Two different shapes of the same goal: selling online. BigCommerce (full platform) Shoprocket (embed into your site) Where your store lives Full hosted platform. You rebuild your site on BigCommerce. Embedded into the site you already have, or a hosted storefront on your own domain. Your choice. Pricing model Tiered plans with annual online-sales thresholds that move you up a tier as you grow. Flat monthly plan from $29/mo. No sales-threshold upgrades. Platform fees No BigCommerce transaction fee, but you're inside their ecosystem and tiers. 0% platform fees on every plan. Only your payment processor's standard fee applies. Getting started Migrate your whole site onto the platform to get started. Paste an embed into your existing site. No replatform. Product types Multiple product types, deep catalogue tools. Physical, digital, subscriptions, licence keys, and gift cards in one store. ● 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. ## Sell online without the replatform. 14-day free trial. No credit card.
