BigCommerce is a e-commerce and online storefront builders for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹2,878/mo for a GST-registered business ($29/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for growing and larger online merchants, and a poor fit if indian merchants running domestic gateways, since those sit outside the embedded provider list and attract a percentage fee on every order they process.
Registered business, per month
₹2,878
BigCommerce advertises $29/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹2,878 a month (₹34,534/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹3,396 a month.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

BigCommerce does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
BigCommerce can work for Indian buyers, but check currency, tax, billing, support, and whether the workflow justifies foreign-currency pricing.
BigCommerce does not list a permanent free plan in FindThatSoftware data. Check the official pricing page for trial terms and current offers.
