Cancel Bigcommerce: Easy Method

What is Bigcommerce

Overview

BigCommerce is a hosted e-commerce platform that lets businesses build and run online stores with hosting, checkout, and store management tools.

It is primarily sold and billed in USD and used worldwide, including merchants operating in New Zealand.

Core features

Key capabilities include product management, payment integrations, SEO tools, and apps for extended functionality.

Plans vary by revenue limits and advanced features such as abandoned cart recovery and product filtering.

How to cancel Bigcommerce

Cancel via BigCommerce Control Panel (web)

• Sign in to your store and go to Account Settings > Account Overview.
• Select the paid store and click "Cancel Store Plan".
• Alternatively submit a cancellation request form with your Store URL and Support PIN.

Other cancellation methods

• Notify BigCommerce at least 2 business days before your billing date to stop auto-renewal; otherwise the subscription renews and ends at the next renewal period.
• Business days are 8 AM - 6 PM CST, Monday - Friday, excluding US holidays. Terms: Fees & Billing
• If you purchased via iOS App Store or Google Play, cancel through Apple or Google subscription settings (see below).
• For New Zealand support enquiries you may call BigCommerce NZ at 0800 111 0046.

App store subscriptions (iOS and Google Play)

• iOS App Store: Turn off auto‑renew at least 24 hours before the period ends in your Apple account settings. Cancellations are managed in Apple, not within the app. Apple listing
• Google Play: Open Play Store > Profile > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions, then select and cancel. Play cancellation steps

What happens when you cancel

Account access and service end

If you cancel before the billing deadline, your subscription will not renew and access continues until the end of the paid period.

If you miss the notification window, the plan auto-renews and cancellation only takes effect at the next renewal period.

Data and store content

Your store data typically remains available until the end of the paid term; after expiry you may lose storefront access and hosted assets.

Export products, orders, and customer lists prior to the end date to preserve records and prevent data loss.

Will I get a refund?

Standard policy

BigCommerce's stated policy is that all fees are non‑refundable and no credits are issued for partial days, months, or years. Official fees & billing

Exceptions and one-time purchases

• Design themes and one‑time services (migration, onboarding) are non‑refundable once purchased unless a specific checkout term says otherwise. Store terms
• There is a 15‑day free trial during which no charge is taken; no refund applies because no payment was made. Pricing & trial
• New Zealand consumer law may create additional rights where services are defective or misrepresented (see consumer rights section).

Your consumer rights in New Zealand

Applicable laws

New Zealand consumer protections such as the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and Fair Trading Act apply to goods and services supplied to NZ consumers and may affect refund and remedy obligations.

Contract terms that attempt to avoid statutory obligations may be unenforceable if they conflict with consumer law.

How this affects BigCommerce terms

• Although BigCommerce's contract states "no refunds," NZ consumers may still have rights to remedies where services are defective or were misrepresented.
• If you believe a service was not provided as promised, you can seek remedies under NZ law and contact BigCommerce to request resolution before escalating.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some reviewers praise BigCommerce for scalability, user friendliness, and helpful customer support, noting it is solid for growing e-commerce businesses.

These comments are reflected in independent listings such as Capterra and software advice sites. Capterra/Software Advice (NZ)

Negative feedback

Other users report difficulties cancelling services, billing after cancellation, pricing increases, and challenges obtaining refunds.

There are also reports of support responsiveness issues and unresolved technical problems in community forums. Trustpilot (NZ)

Documentation checklist

What to prepare before cancelling

• Your Store URL (store.mybigcommerce.com or custom domain).
• Your Support PIN from the control panel and account login email.
• Billing date and last payment/renewal invoice number.
• Payment method details used for subscription (card or payment provider).

Optional but helpful items

• Exported backups of products, orders, customers, and theme files.
• Screenshots of billing statements, cancellation requests, or support chats.
• Contact records and reference numbers from prior support interactions.

Common mistakes

Missing the cancellation window

A frequent error is assuming a cancellation sent late in the billing cycle will stop the next charge.

Remember you must notify at least 2 business days before the billing date (business days = CST hours, Mon - Fri excluding US holidays).

Assuming app or phone cancellation always works

Some users assume a phone call or in-app message automatically cancels their subscription; always confirm cancellation in Account Overview or via the official form.

For app purchases, cancelling in BigCommerce does not cancel Apple or Google subscriptions - you must cancel through those stores.
