How to cancel BigCommerce

Core, Growth and Scale plans have no contract: cancel any time in your store's control panel, and BigCommerce stops billing immediately. Performance plans are custom-priced and billed annually, so they follow your contract. Plans upgrade automatically when trailing 12-month sales pass the plan's threshold.

The short answer

  • Where: Sign in to your store's control panel and cancel the plan there.
  • When it ends: BigCommerce stops billing you as soon as you cancel.
  • Want to keep it for less? Pay yearly and more. Options

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Plans are tied to trailing 12-month sales (GMV): above a plan's threshold the store is upgraded automatically, so a cheaper plan isn't always available
  • The 15-day free trial needs no credit card, so there is nothing to cancel; an un-upgraded trial store keeps its data for 90 days

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/bigcommerce.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
