Bigtecha vs. Shopify: Feature Comparison

Our Key Benefits

Bigtecha vs Shopify Comparison

Welcome to Bigtecha

At Bigtecha, we revolutionize your ecommerce experience by offering an unparalleled level of customization and flexibility. Built on the world's most popular CMS system, WordPress, combined with the powerful WooCommerce platform, Bigtecha is designed to meet all your ecommerce needs effortlessly.

Websites on Subscription Basis

Bigtecha also builds websites on a subscription basis, so you don’t have to pay a heavy upfront cost. You can start with a lower monthly payment and build the website step by step with us.

The minimum subscription period is 6 months. After that, the website belongs to you. We do not keep ownership or control of it. You can continue with Bigtecha, or move to another agency, designer, or hosting provider whenever you choose.

For subscription-based websites, we offer only two plans: Bigtecha Plus and Bigtecha Advanced.

Bigtecha Plus is suitable for most businesses, including growing and scaling e-commerce brands. Depending on the actual workload, the Plus plan price may reduce by up to 75%, but only after the initial 6-month period is complete.

Bigtecha Advanced is recommended only for more complex needs, such as 30+ new products every month, frequent product updates, competitor price-tracking scripts, heavy translations, extensive multi-currency use, or advanced hyper-local shipping rules.

In simple words, Plus is enough for most businesses. Advanced is for heavier, more complex operations.

Why Choose Bigtecha Over Shopify?

  • Unlimited Customization: With lifetime licenses for almost every pro plugin and theme available in the WordPress and WooCommerce repository, Bigtecha provides unlimited features and customization options. Whether you want to integrate complex functionalities or unique designs, we’ve got you covered.
  • No Added Transaction Fees: Unlike Shopify, which charges additional transactional fee for 3rd party Payment processors on top of its own standard Shopify Payments transaction fee even on higher-tier plans (unless using Shopify Payments Only), Bigtecha charges no additional transactional fee on all it's plans but only the standard transaction fee defined by the payment processor used like Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal, PayU, Phonepe, Instamojo and Cashfree which ends up costing 50% lower in terms of transaction fee and has greater reach too with further customization options like transferring the fee to the buyer on the website, etc. You keep more of your hard-earned money with every sale.
    Standard Shopify Added Payments Fee Breakdown: Basic Plan: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction & Shopify Plan: 2.6% + $0.30 per transaction | 3rd Party Payment Processor Fee is added to Shopify's Standard Shopify Transaction fee (unless using Shopify Payments only) / If Shopify Payments is not enabled or available, additional transaction fees apply on top of third-party processor fees: Basic plan: +2%, Shopify Plan: +1%, Advanced Plan: 0.5%, Plus Plan: Decided by Shopify's Sales team depending on Sale Volumes.
    BigTecha Added Payments Fee Breakdown: Absolutely Free (Zero Payments Fee above the payment processor fee) - This means you get 100% of your sales with even lesser amount of payment processor Fee charges than spotify.This sum total of savings can soon add up to huge savings when dealing with huge turnovers and also helps control your product online cost too so you can keep a competitive product/service price.
  • Cost-Effective Plans: Bigtecha offers advanced ecommerce features at a fraction of the cost of Shopify's plans. Our Advanced plan starts at just $105/month, and our Plus plan at $199/month, providing you with superior features and significant cost savings.
  • Extensive Plugin Library: Access to over 55,000 plugins means your site can have virtually any feature you can imagine. From advanced SEO tools to powerful analytics, everything is included without extra charges.

  • Dedicated Support: Our 24/7 support ensures that any issues are promptly addressed, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

  • Website Preservation: Your website remains on our servers for 1 year even after you stop paying. This allows you to come back anytime within 1 year and have your website ready to go with all features and customization intact.
