Does LaunchMyStore have sales limits like BigCommerce?

No. LaunchMyStore plans are set by products, staff accounts and features, not by revenue. BigCommerce's Core plan covers up to $30,000 in trailing-12-month sales and Growth up to $100,000; above those, BigCommerce upgrades the store automatically.

Is LaunchMyStore cheaper than BigCommerce?

It depends on your sales. BigCommerce Core ($29/month billed yearly) costs less for a small store, but once sales pass its caps you move to Growth ($79) or Scale ($299). LaunchMyStore Gold stays $70/month billed yearly at any sales volume.

Does BigCommerce charge transaction fees?

Not with its 21 partner gateways. Since June 1, 2026 it charges 2% (Core), 1% (Growth) or 0.6% (Scale) on orders through any other gateway. LaunchMyStore charges 0% platform transaction fees on every gateway.

Can I move from BigCommerce to LaunchMyStore?

Yes. Export your products from BigCommerce, fit them to LaunchMyStore's product CSV template and import them. Book a free call if you'd like help with the move.

When is BigCommerce the better choice?

For B2B selling with company accounts and quotes, headless builds on Catalyst, several storefronts from one admin, or catalogs larger than 5,000 products.

Which platform has better AI?

Both include an AI assistant. LaunchMyStore adds an AI content suite and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor on every plan at no extra cost. BigCommerce's Catalog Enrichment is a paid add-on, and its admin MCP is in early access.

BigCommerce counts trailing-12-month sales (gross order value minus 10%) and upgrades the plan once they pass a cap. Payments are assumed to go through a BigCommerce partner gateway, so its open-gateway fee doesn't apply. Card processing fees apply on both and aren't included. The public code FLAT20 takes 20% off any plan.
