European Alternatives to BigCommerce
Looking for a European alternative to BigCommerce? BigCommerce is run by Commerce.com US, Inc., a Texas corporation. Merchants in the EU contract with its Irish entity, Commerce Software Ireland Ltd under Irish law, but the parent is American and its privacy policy relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers to the United States.
Eleven European platforms can replace it, from hosted shops with published prices to open-source and headless engines, built by companies in Germany, Poland, France, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Norway.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy
11 European Alternatives to BigCommerce

German open-source commerce platform with a free Community Edition and published plans from €600 a month

PrestaShop
Paris-based open-source shop software you can host yourself, with a large module market
Gambio

Key takeaways
- BigCommerce now trades as Commerce.com. EU merchants contract with Commerce Software Ireland Ltd. under Irish law, so the case against it is the Texas parent and the price mechanics, not a non-EU contract.
- Its US plans are Core $29, Growth $79 and Scale $299 a month with sales caps, and an extra 2.0%, 1.0% or 0.6% applies when orders go through payment providers outside its embedded list.
- Shopware (Schöppingen) is the nearest like-for-like for mid-market and B2B: a free MIT-licensed Community Edition, then Rise from €600 and Evolve from €2,400 a month excluding VAT.
- For a hosted shop with published prices, Gambio (from €29 a month), WiziShop (from €24.90) and Shoptet (from 440 CZK) are the practical options, each with a different home market.
- Saleor, Crystallize and Spryker are for teams that build their own storefront, and Saleor and Crystallize publish prices while Spryker is sold on quote.
Why people leave BigCommerce
BigCommerce is a hosted ecommerce platform that sits between the simple shop builders and the enterprise suites. You pay a monthly plan, it runs the servers, and it sells to everyone from small shops to B2B and headless merchants. The company now trades as Commerce.com, with BigCommerce as the main product, alongside Feedonomics and Makeswift.
The usual "it is American" argument is only half true here, and it should be said plainly. BigCommerce's Master Services Agreement (last revised 1 June 2026) names a different contracting entity by region: Commerce.com US, Inc., a Texas corporation, for the United States, and Commerce Software Ireland Ltd. for the European Union, under Irish law. The arbitration clause with its class-action waiver applies only to customers domiciled in the United States.
What remains is narrower. The parent is a Texas company, and its privacy policy relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (certified for Commerce.com US, Inc. and Commerce.com, Inc.) and on the Commission's 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers outside the EU.
Price mechanics add a second reason: plans are capped by sales volume and an extra percentage applies to orders that go through payment providers BigCommerce does not bundle. This page ranks eleven European platforms that can do the same job.
- The EU contract is Irish, the parent is not European For EU merchants the contracting party is Commerce Software Ireland Ltd. under Irish law, which is a real EU entity. The group above it is Commerce.com US, Inc., a Texas corporation, and its privacy policy names the Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses as the basis for moving personal data to the United States. If you want a vendor with no US parent at all, none of that applies to the tools below.
- Your plan is tied to how much you sell On its US pricing page BigCommerce sells Core at $29 a month (billed annually) up to $30K of sales in a trailing 12 months, Growth at $79 up to $100K, and Scale at $299 for $33,333 a month with 0.9% on sales above the cap. Plans change automatically as you pass the limits, and the sales figure is gross order value minus 10%. Several European platforms below price on features or on a flat fee instead (Shopware, Shoptet, JTL), while Saleor also uses sales bands and Gambio and WiziShop add a transaction share.
- Using your own payment provider can cost extra BigCommerce charges no extra fee on orders handled by its list of embedded payment providers. For other ("open") providers it charges a monthly fee on the sales that go through them: 2.0% on Core, 1.0% on Growth and 0.6% on Scale. A merchant in Europe who needs a local method that is not on that list pays this on top of the provider's own rates. Gambio and WiziShop also take a percentage that shrinks as the plan rises, so read each pricing page for the exact rule.
- The European answers are built differently BigCommerce is a closed, hosted product that you rent. Of the eleven below, some are hosted shops (WiziShop, Shoptet, Gambio), several have open-source code you can host yourself (Shopware, Saleor, PrestaShop, Odoo, OXID eSales), and two are headless or enterprise engines (Crystallize, Spryker). The right pick depends on whether you want to keep renting a shop or to own more of the stack.
What you have to replace, not just match
Start with what your BigCommerce store depends on: catalogue size, B2B price lists, multiple storefronts, the payment methods you use, and the apps you installed from its marketplace. A small catalogue with standard payments moves to a hosted European shop in a few weeks. A B2B store with customer-specific pricing and several storefronts is a replatforming project, and Shopware, OXID eSales or Spryker are where to look first.
Plan the migration in parallel. Export products and customers, rebuild the checkout and tax settings, keep your URL structure with 301 redirects so search traffic carries over, and run the old store until orders on the new one are confirmed. I could not verify from BigCommerce's own pages how complete its data export is, so test it on your own catalogue before you commit.

How each alternative compares to BigCommerce
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). BigCommerce is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Source code. Closed source, as BigCommerce is.
Best for: Mid-market and B2B merchants who want a full platform, with the option to host it themselves
Shopware is provided by shopware AG, Ebbinghoff 10, 48624 Schöppingen, registered at Amtsgericht Coesfeld (HRB 11471). Its code is on GitHub under the MIT licence.
Its pricing page lists the Community Edition as free, Rise from €600 a month excluding VAT with unlimited sales channels and basic support, Evolve from €2,400 with B2B components, advanced search and phone support, and Beyond on request with multi-inventory and customer-specific pricing.
It is the largest product here by scope, and it is more than a small shop needs.
What Shopware does better than BigCommerce
- Free open-source core that can be hosted yourself
- B2B components and customer-specific pricing in the product plans
- Prices published in euros
- German company with a register number on its imprint
Where Shopware is a step down from BigCommerce
- Rise at €600 a month costs far more than BigCommerce Core at $29
- B2B features sit in the €2,400 plan
- More setup than a hosted shop
- Not a simple shop for a small catalogue
Standout against BigCommerce. It pairs an MIT-licensed core with published commercial plans and a B2B suite in one product.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Poland). BigCommerce is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.

Its pricing page lists a free Sandbox, Select at $1,599 a month for up to $200,000 of monthly sales with 0.8% on orders above that, Volume at $3,999 up to $1,000,000 with 0.4%, and Enterprise on request from 0.2%. Prices are in dollars although the contracting entity is Polish.
There is no storefront to switch on, so someone has to build one.
What Saleor does better than BigCommerce
- Free sandbox to try the platform
- Open-source core that can be self-hosted
- Polish company with a court register number in its terms
- API-first design for custom storefronts
Where Saleor is a step down from BigCommerce
- Cloud starts at $1,599 a month, well above BigCommerce Core
- Priced in sales bands with a percentage above the band, like BigCommerce

- Source code. Closed source, as BigCommerce is.

PrestaShop is provided by PrestaShop SA, 82 Avenue du Maine, 75014 Paris, registration number 497 916 635. The terms of its website are under French law with the Paris Commercial Court. These are the website terms, not a contract for hosted shops.
The software is open source and can be installed on your own hosting. I could not verify a price for its hosted offers, so no amount is quoted here.

- Source code. Closed source, as BigCommerce is.

Each plan has a monthly sales allowance (€500 to €50,000) and a transaction share that falls from 1.5% to 0.1%. A risk-free trial is offered.

- Where the data sits. EU hosting (Odoo Online) or your own servers.
- Source code. Open source, where BigCommerce is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
Best for: Merchants who want the shop, stock and invoicing in one system
Odoo is provided by Odoo S.A. and its affiliates. Its Enterprise Subscription Agreement is under Belgian law, with the business court of Nivelles.
Its eCommerce page calls it open-source eCommerce and says "Free, forever, including domain name" for a start. The shop is one app in a larger suite that includes inventory, accounting and CRM.
It is a business-system choice before it is a storefront choice.
What Odoo eCommerce does better than BigCommerce
- Shop, inventory and accounting in one suite
- Free start with a domain name
- Open-source code
- Belgian company under Belgian law
Where Odoo eCommerce is a step down from BigCommerce

- Source code. Closed source, as BigCommerce is.

OXID eSales is provided by OXID eSales AG in Freiburg (Amtsgericht Freiburg, HRB 701648).
It describes a fixed pricing model with no revenue share, B2B and B2C editions, multi-shop management, and a Symfony-based core. I could not verify any price, so none is quoted.
It lists implementation, technology and hosting partner programmes.
What OXID eSales does better than BigCommerce
- Fixed pricing with no revenue share, by its own statement
- B2B and B2C editions
- German company with a register number
- Partner network in the DACH region
Where OXID eSales is a step down from BigCommerce
- No price I could verify
- Smaller outside German-speaking markets
- Partner network concentrated in German-speaking markets
- Less modern headless tooling than Saleor
Standout against BigCommerce. It says its price stays fixed regardless of your sales volume.

- Source code. Closed source, as BigCommerce is.
Best for: Larger companies building B2B or marketplace models
Spryker is provided by Spryker Systems GmbH, Heidestraße 9-10, 10557 Berlin. Its imprint names the Hamburg register court and HRB 134310.
It is sold on quote, and I found no public price. It targets enterprises with complex B2B, marketplace and multi-country needs.
It is the least like BigCommerce Core and nearer its Performance tier.
What Spryker does better than BigCommerce
- B2B and marketplace models designed in from the start
- German company with a register number
- Quote-based contract sized to the company
- Aimed at enterprise buyers
Where Spryker is a step down from BigCommerce
- No public price, quote only
- No self-serve start
- Overkill for small or mid-sized shops
- Register court and seat differ on the imprint
Standout against BigCommerce. It is designed for B2B and marketplace operators, which most shop platforms treat as add-ons.
What actually breaks when you switch
Moving a store means rebuilding the front: themes, apps, checkout settings and shipping rules do not transfer. Export products and customers, and take your own copy of the images before you cancel.
Check how each platform prices on your numbers. BigCommerce uses sales caps and an extra fee for outside payment providers, Gambio and WiziShop use a transaction share, Shoptet uses product counts, and Saleor uses sales bands. Calculate your last twelve months against each.
Pages for Gambio, Shoptet, WiziShop and JTL are mostly in German, Czech or French. If your team works in English, test the admin and the support before you commit.
Is there a European platform that works like BigCommerce?
Shopware is closest in scope: a full commerce platform with B2B components, multiple sales channels, an API and a marketplace of extensions. It is also available as software you host yourself. Saleor is closest if you used BigCommerce headless with your own front end.
Neither copies BigCommerce's embedded checkout and app marketplace. If you rely on a specific payment or shipping integration, check the extension list of the European platform first.
Which of these have published prices?
Shopware lists Community (free), Rise from €600 and Evolve from €2,400 a month excluding VAT. Saleor lists a free sandbox, Select at $1,599 and Volume at $3,999 a month. Gambio, WiziShop and Shoptet list full monthly prices, Crystallize lists $949 for Atom, and JTL lists a free start and Pro from €329.
PrestaShop, OXID eSales and Spryker had no price I could verify, and Spryker is sold on quote. Odoo lists a free start on its eCommerce page.
Which of these can I host myself?
The code of Shopware (MIT) and Saleor (BSD-3-Clause) is on GitHub, and PrestaShop describes itself as open-source software; all three can be run on your own server or at a host you choose. Odoo describes itself as open-source eCommerce, and OXID eSales describes an open-source community edition on GitHub.
Self-hosting means you own security updates, backups and uptime. A hosted option exists for most of them, but the cost and the contracting entity then change, so check both.
Does the US parent really matter for a small store?
The contract for EU merchants is with an Irish company under Irish law, so a dispute is not decided in Texas. What differs is the group behind it and the legal basis for data transfers. BigCommerce's privacy policy relies on the Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses.
For a hobby shop this is a minor point. For a merchant with a strict customer or procurement policy about US-parent suppliers, it is a reason to look at the platforms below.
Which one to pick
If you want the nearest full platform to BigCommerce, with B2B, an API and a self-host exit, choose Shopware. If you build your own front end, choose Saleor. If you want a simple hosted shop with prices you can read, look at Gambio, WiziShop or Shoptet depending on your market.
PrestaShop and OXID eSales suit merchants who would rather pay for hosting and modules than a plan, and Odoo suits those who want stock and invoicing in the same system. Crystallize and Spryker are for development teams and larger companies, and Spryker is sold on quote.
Be realistic about the gap. For EU merchants the BigCommerce contract is already with an Irish company, so the main reasons to move are the US parent, the price mechanics and a wish to own more of the stack. BigCommerce still has a large app marketplace and a ready-made embedded checkout that few of the eleven match.
Frequently Asked Questions
Shopware is the best all-round match on this page for a mid-market or B2B merchant, because it combines a free open-source core, published plans and B2B components in one product. Saleor suits teams building their own front end, and Gambio, WiziShop or Shoptet suit smaller shops that want a hosted product with published prices.
No. The group is Commerce.com US, Inc., a Texas corporation. For EU merchants the contracting entity is Commerce Software Ireland Ltd., an Irish company, under Irish law according to the Master Services Agreement.
On its US pricing page, Core is $29 a month billed annually ($39 monthly), Growth is $79 ($105) and Scale is $299 ($399), with sales caps of $30K, $100K and $33,333 a month. Performance starts at $1,499 a month on a custom contract. Prices on country pages can differ.
It is called the Open Payment Provider Fee. Orders through its embedded payment providers carry no such fee. Orders through other providers are charged 2.0% on Core, 1.0% on Growth and 0.6% on Scale, and 0% on Performance with a contract, calculated on the sales that go through those providers.
Gambio lists Starter at €29, Business at €79, Professional at €149 and Enterprise at €219 a month on 12 months, with a transaction share of 1.5%, 0.8%, 0.4% and 0.1%. WiziShop lists Smart at €24.90 and Business at €99.90 a month excluding VAT on annual billing, with 2% and 1% transaction fees. Shoptet lists Basic at 440 CZK, Business at 1,490 CZK, Profi at 2,490 CZK and Enterprise at 4,690 CZK a month, with 10% off for annual payment.
The Community Edition is free. Rise starts at €600 a month and Evolve at €2,400 a month, both excluding VAT, and Beyond is priced on request. The optional Shopware Intelligence+ add-on costs €29 a month on Community and €19 on the paid plans.
Shopware lists B2B components on Evolve and customer-specific pricing on Beyond. OXID eSales describes B2B and B2C editions, and Spryker is built around B2B and marketplace models. Odoo connects the shop to invoicing and inventory, which also helps in B2B.
Saleor is a GraphQL API with no required storefront, Crystallize combines product information and commerce in one API, and Shopware describes itself as API-first on its GitHub page. Expect to build or buy a front end for any of them.
Crystallize AS is Norwegian (organisation number 919134216). Norway is in the EEA but not the EU, and it applies the GDPR through the EEA agreement.
You can move the catalogue and customers with exports and imports, but not the theme, apps or checkout settings, which have to be rebuilt. Plan for redirects, a test checkout with your real payment methods, and a period in which both stores run.
