Product Update: BigCommerce Pricing Increase for Pro Plans

What You Need to Know About the BigCommerce Pro Plan Pricing Increase

As an agency with a heavy focus on eCommerce, we like to stay up to date on changes occurring in the industry. When one as wide-spread as a pricing change occurs, we want to help spread the info as quickly as possible. 

If you're on the BigCommerce Pro Plan for pricing, then this applies to your business. 
Read below information directly from BigCommerce:

"What’s changing? 

We are increasing the price of our BigCommerce Pro Plan by $50. We will be rolling out these changes to existing Pro Plan customers in segments over the next couple of months. 

If you are Pro Plan merchant who joined BigCommerce prior to November 1, 2019, your new monthly pricing will go into effect on January 31, 2020. Your next billing date will reflect your new price. 

If you are Pro Plan merchant who joined BigCommerce between November 1, 2019, and January 31, 2020, your new monthly pricing will go into effect 90 days after your first billing date. Your price will remain the same until then. 

If you are Pro Plan merchant on an annual billing cycle, your new annual pricing will go into effect on your next annual billing date. Your price will remain the same until then. 

Why is BigCommerce increasing prices?

At BigCommerce, our goal is to power your success by providing an innovative, industry-leading platform that grows with your business. This commitment requires that we continually invest in the highest quality of infrastructure and people to bring you features that help you sell more in highly competitive industries. This is the first price increase since 2016 for Pro Plan merchants and we do not anticipate any further price increase in the near future. 

We strive to deliver the best value on the market, and our planned enhancements for 2020 will further improve our Pro offering. In 2019, product releases included our mobile app for iOS and Android, multi-currency capabilities, and technical improvements to deliver faster, more personalized, and more secure shopping experiences. In 2020, we will bring you major innovations in visual store design, data analytics, personalization, and advanced capabilities for international selling.

What’s next? 

If you are on the Pro Plan, keep your eye on your inbox and control panel for more notifications and information around this change.

We will continue to earn your business every day by providing a solution that delivers great value for your investment. We believe this price increase for Pro Plan merchants will enable us to provide the quality and service you expect. 

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing this journey of shared growth and success in the future."
