Shopify Plus is the best ecommerce platform for large retailers in 2026, backed by $119 billion of quarterly GMV and a published fee from $2,300 per month on a 3-year term.

Medusa is the cheapest option here, with Medusa Cloud plans from $29 per month and no GMV fees.

Adoption figures come from company filings, official releases or independent surveys, linked in each entry. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Scoring method

This list is for large retailers and B2B sellers comparing commerce platforms by scale and by what the vendor publishes about price. We scored each platform's enterprise tier on documented features (35 percent), adoption backed by GMV in financial filings or a vendor-published customer figure (35 percent) and value at published US prices (30 percent). We compared documented features and published prices from vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests. Several enterprise vendors only sell by quote; those prices are marked as pending rather than estimated, and their value scores reflect the lack of a public price.

AssessmentShopify Plus ranks first because it pairs the largest GMV base on this list with a monthly fee printed in USD in its own documentation. BigCommerce comes second on value, with a published $1,499 enterprise floor and a dedicated success manager. Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the strongest option for retailers already on Salesforce, and commercetools leads the composable group for enterprises with engineering teams. Adobe Commerce and VTEX suit specific needs, deep code customization and built-in marketplaces. SAP Commerce Cloud fits SAP ERP customers, while Medusa, Elastic Path and Saleor are smaller vendors with published prices for teams that want open or composable stacks.

  1. 1

    Shopify Plus

    9.1overall

    Shopify's plan for high-volume brands, with expansion stores, checkout customization and B2B tools on the same hosted platform as its smaller plans.

    Best forLarge direct-to-consumer and B2B brands that want a hosted platform with a published monthly fee and a large app and agency pool.

    Adoption data

    $119 billionShopify reported $119 billion in gross merchandise volume across its merchants in the third quarter of 2026, a figure that covers all plans, not only Plus.

    Shopify, Shopify Q3 2026 financial results (Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K) (2026): “We powered $119 billion in GMV, while continuing to build commerce into every surface, every agent, and increasingly, everywhere,”

    Shopify Plus is the top tier of Shopify, and its help center publishes the fee in USD: $2,500 per month on a 1-year term or $2,300 on a 3-year term, plus a variable platform fee that differs for B2B and direct-to-consumer orders. For that price a brand gets 9 expansion stores, unlimited staff accounts, custom user groups and priority 24/7 support. Developers can use Shopify Functions, the Checkout Branding API and Plus-only APIs such as Multipass to change checkout and discount logic without hosting their own servers. B2B buyers get unlimited catalogs, deposit requirements and partial payments. Shopify reported $119 billion of GMV in the third quarter of 2026, which signals deep agency and app support. The limits are the hosted model itself: teams that need full control over the order engine or data model may find headless platforms such as commercetools a better fit, and the platform fee means total cost rises with sales.

    Strengths

    • +Published USD list price, which most enterprise rivals do not offer
    • +Largest GMV base of any vendor on this list
    • +Priority 24/7 phone and chat support

    Limitations

    • −Variable platform fee on top of the monthly price, quoted by sales
    • −Each live expansion store needs its own theme license
    • −Lowest price requires a 3-year term

    SummaryShopify Plus is the strongest default for large retailers that want a hosted platform with a public price. Model the variable platform fee before you sign a 3-year term.

  2. 2

    BigCommerce

    8.4overall

    Hosted ecommerce platform from Commerce.com, with an enterprise Performance plan priced by quote from a published floor.

    Best forMid-market and enterprise retailers that want a hosted platform with open APIs and a lower published entry price than Shopify Plus.

    Adoption data

    $9.0 billionCommerce.com, the company behind BigCommerce, reported $9.0 billion in gross merchandise volume in the third quarter of 2026, up 14 percent year over year.

    Commerce.com, Commerce Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results (Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K) (2026): “Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) was $9.0 billion, up 14% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025.”

    BigCommerce, now run by Commerce.com, rebuilt its plans around sales volume. The enterprise tier is called Performance and carries custom pricing that starts at $1,499 per month billed annually, with a custom GMV cap, custom payment terms, a dedicated Customer Success Manager and priority 24/7 phone and chat. Brands below that level can use Scale at $299 per month billed annually, which covers up to $33,333 of monthly GMV and charges 0.9 percent above the cap. BigCommerce does not add platform fees on orders processed through its embedded payment providers, and checkout supports Apple Pay, Google Pay and Amazon Pay. Commerce.com reported $9.0 billion of GMV in the third quarter of 2026, up 14 percent. The main caution is that plans follow trailing 12-month GMV and auto-upgrade as sales grow, so buyers should model next year's volume, not this year's, when comparing quotes.

    Strengths

    • +Lowest published enterprise floor among hosted platforms here
    • +Priority support and a dedicated success manager included
    • +Scale plan at $299 per month for brands not yet at enterprise volume

    Limitations

    • −Performance price above $1,499 is quoted per merchant
    • −Plans are tied to trailing 12-month GMV and auto-upgrade
    • −Smaller GMV base than Shopify

    SummaryBigCommerce gives large retailers a hosted platform at a lower published floor than Shopify Plus. Ask how the GMV cap in your Performance quote will move as you grow.

  3. 3

    Salesforce Commerce Cloud

    8.2overall

    Salesforce's B2C and B2B commerce platform, sold in Growth, Plus and Premium editions with order management and Data Cloud options.

    Best forLarge retailers already on Salesforce CRM or Marketing Cloud that want commerce, service and data on one vendor.

    Adoption data

    two billionSalesforce says Commerce Cloud powers commerce for more than two billion shoppers.

    Salesforce, Commerce Cloud (2026): “Salesforce powers commerce for over two billion shoppers with 99.99% historical uptime.”

    Salesforce Commerce Cloud splits into B2C Commerce and B2B Commerce. The B2C pricing page lists three editions, Growth, Plus and Premium, all marked contact for pricing and billed annually. Growth allows 5 sites and 10 price books, while Plus and Premium raise that to 100 sites and 3,500 price books. Premium adds full Order Management, 500,000 Data Cloud credits, personalization with Data Cloud segments and seven CRM Analytics users. Storefronts can be built from templates, as composable storefronts or through headless APIs. Salesforce says the platform serves more than two billion shoppers with 99.99 percent historical uptime. The case for Commerce Cloud is strongest where a retailer already runs Salesforce for service and marketing, because customer, order and campaign data share one model. The case against is cost visibility: no edition has a public price, and the features that most enterprises want, order management and personalization, sit in the top tier.

    Strengths

    • +Shared data model with Salesforce CRM, service and marketing
    • +99.99% historical uptime stated by Salesforce
    • +Edition limits for sites and price books are published

    Limitations

    • −Every edition is priced by quote
    • −Data Cloud and order management sit in the top edition
    • −Best value depends on already using other Salesforce clouds

    SummaryCommerce Cloud is the natural pick for retailers that already run on Salesforce. Get Premium priced early, since order management and Data Cloud personalization live there.

  4. 4

    Adobe Commerce

    7.8overall

    Adobe's enterprise edition of Magento, offered as PaaS or as a SaaS cloud service, with AI search and recommendations.

    Best forRetailers that need deep customization of catalog and checkout logic and already use Adobe Experience Cloud.

    Adobe Commerce is the paid, enterprise form of Magento, and Adobe now documents both a PaaS deployment and a SaaS cloud service. A connector links stores to Adobe Commerce Services: Catalog Service, Live Search, Product Recommendations and Payment Services, which adds interest-free installment options. Adobe Commerce Optimizer can replace the separate search and recommendation services with native catalog and merchandising tools. Developers get GraphQL and REST APIs, events and webhooks, App Builder for out-of-process extensions and Edge Delivery Services for fast storefronts with prebuilt drop-in components. The platform suits retailers with unusual pricing, catalog or checkout rules that hosted platforms cannot model, and it ties in with Adobe Experience Platform and AEM Assets. Adobe does not publish a price, and its docs warn that service availability varies by deployment model, so confirm which services your contract includes. We could not find a citable adoption figure on Adobe's own pages, so adoption is scored conservatively.

    Strengths

    • +Deep customization through code, events and App Builder
    • +Connects to Adobe Experience Platform and AEM Assets
    • +Choice of PaaS or SaaS hosting

    Limitations

    • −No published price
    • −Service availability differs between PaaS and SaaS
    • −Custom builds raise maintenance and upgrade work

    SummaryAdobe Commerce fits retailers that need code-level control and already invest in Adobe's marketing stack. Confirm which services your deployment model includes.

  5. 5

    commercetools

    7.8overall

    API-first, headless commerce platform for enterprises, priced on orders rather than GMV.

    Best forEnterprises with in-house engineering that want a composable back end and their own front end.

    Adoption data

    500+commercetools says more than 500 enterprise customers in over 50 countries run on its platform.

    commercetools, commercetools homepage (2026): “500+ enterprise customers in 50+ countries trust commercetools to handle mission-critical operations”

    commercetools sells an API-first commerce back end and leaves the storefront to the customer. Its pricing page explains that fees follow order volume instead of a share of GMV and include unlimited catalogs, channels and storefronts, but it does not publish numbers. Add-ons include Premium Support with an enhanced SLA, Audit Log Premium for change tracking, additional regions and Advanced B2B APIs that model account hierarchies with Business Units, buyer approval flows and quote management. The checkout module covers carts, order management, payments and shipping and tax settings. commercetools says more than 500 enterprises in over 50 countries use it and that it processes over $110 billion of annualized GMV. That scale suits global retailers that want to pick their own search, content and front-end tools. The tradeoff is build effort: a commercetools project needs engineers or an integrator, and the total cost includes that work on top of the license.

    Strengths

    • +No GMV-based fees as sales grow
    • +Fits companies that want to choose every front-end and search tool
    • +Large enterprise customer base

    Limitations

    • −No published prices
    • −Needs developers or a systems integrator to build the storefront
    • −B2B APIs and premium support are add-ons

    Summarycommercetools is the leading composable choice for enterprises with strong engineering teams. Budget for the front-end build alongside the license.

  6. 6

    VTEX

    7.7overall

    Cloud commerce platform with built-in marketplace, order management and retail media, strong in Latin America.

    Best forRetailers and brands that want marketplace and distributed order management built into the platform.

    Adoption data

    US$5.5 billionVTEX reported $5.5 billion in gross merchandise volume on its platform in the third quarter of 2026, up 12.0 percent in US dollars.

    VTEX, VTEX Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results (Form 6-K) (2026): “GMV reached US$5.5 billion in the third quarter of 2026, representing a YoY increase of 12.0% in USD and 4.5% on an FX-neutral basis.”

    VTEX bundles features that other vendors sell separately: a marketplace for third-party sellers, a distributed order management system that routes orders across warehouses, stores and fulfillment centers, B2B portals with custom pricing, and retail media tools for publishers and advertisers. It also offers a WhatsApp store and AI agents for customer service, returns and order questions. In the third quarter of 2026 VTEX reported $5.5 billion of GMV, up 12.0 percent in US dollars and 4.5 percent on an FX-neutral basis, and named Kohler in the US and Skechers in Brazil among new customers. Its AI Workspace runs at eleven enterprise merchants including Decathlon and Whirlpool. VTEX fits retailers that want to add a marketplace or ship from stores without integrating extra systems. Prices are by quote, and most of its customer base and partner network sits in Latin America, which matters for US buyers choosing implementation partners.

    Strengths

    • +Marketplace and order management included in the platform
    • +Publicly listed, with GMV reported every quarter
    • +Commerce on web, mobile, social, WhatsApp and stores

    Limitations

    • −No published prices
    • −FX-neutral GMV growth was 4.5% in Q3 2026
    • −Customer base weighted toward Latin America

    SummaryVTEX is the strongest pick here for retailers that want a marketplace and store fulfillment built in. Check partner coverage in your region before committing.

  7. 7

    SAP Commerce Cloud

    7.2overall

    SAP's commerce platform for B2B and B2C, including a cloud ERP edition that connects natively to SAP ERP.

    Best forManufacturers and distributors that run SAP S/4HANA and want order-to-cash in one system.

    SAP Commerce Cloud is SAP's storefront and order platform, and SAP now promotes a cloud ERP edition built to connect natively to the ERP a customer already runs. The product page highlights B2B cases: Nokia updating its order-to-cash process, Online Metals building a B2B ecommerce and marketplace experience for cut-to-order metals, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling enabling digital ordering, and Cintas giving customers self-service on one platform. For manufacturers and distributors on SAP S/4HANA, the main benefit is that pricing, inventory and order data come straight from the ERP instead of through custom integrations. For retailers outside the SAP ecosystem the case is weaker, since rival platforms offer faster setup and clearer pricing. SAP does not publish prices, and its product page shows customer stories rather than a customer count, so adoption is scored conservatively.

    Strengths

    • +Closest fit for companies already on SAP ERP
    • +Used by large B2B sellers such as Nokia and Cintas
    • +Handles both B2B and B2C

    Limitations

    • −No published price
    • −Little value outside the SAP ecosystem
    • −No citable adoption figure on SAP's product page

    SummarySAP Commerce Cloud belongs on the shortlist only when SAP ERP is already in place. In that case the native ERP link can outweigh feature gaps.

  8. 8

    Medusa

    7.1overall

    Open-source commerce framework with Medusa Cloud hosting, priced as flat monthly plans without GMV fees.

    Best forEngineering-led brands that want an open-source, customizable back end with predictable hosting costs.

    Medusa is an open-source commerce framework with modules for products, carts, orders and B2B, plus an admin dashboard. Medusa Cloud hosts the storefront and back end on flat monthly plans: Develop from $29, Launch from $99, Scale from $299 and a custom Enterprise tier. Medusa says the plans carry no GMV tax or special licenses, which keeps cost predictable as sales grow. Cloud plans include Medusa Search, emails, a preconfigured cache and instant previews on pull requests, and the company now ships an MCP server, a Cloud CLI and agent skills for teams that build with AI coding tools. Its case studies cover B2B portals, quick commerce across store locations and multi-3PL fulfillment. Medusa is a developer product: there is no turnkey theme store like Shopify's, and enterprises will need engineers or a partner. Medusa does not publish a customer count, so adoption is scored conservatively.

    Strengths

    • +Lowest published price on this list
    • +No GMV tax or special licenses on Cloud plans
    • +Open source, so the code can be self-hosted

    Limitations

    • −Development-focused entry plan; production plans start at $99
    • −Requires developers to build and maintain
    • −No citable customer count

    SummaryMedusa is the low-cost route to a custom, open-source enterprise build. Plan for engineering time, since the platform assumes developers own the stack.

  9. 9

    Elastic Path

    7.0overall

    Composable commerce platform that publishes an annual entry price based on GMV or order volume.

    Best forB2B, B2B2C and multi-brand sellers that want a composable platform with a published starting price.

    Elastic Path is one of the few composable commerce vendors that prints a price. Its Entry tier starts at $49,500 per year, all in, for up to $5 million of GMV or up to 15,000 orders a year, depending on which model a buyer picks; Professional and Enterprise tiers are quoted. Every tier includes search, a visual builder and CMS, front-end hosting, Product Experience Manager, Promotions Builder, Composer and commerce extensions. Elastic Path states a 99.999 percent uptime SLA, a 30ms average API response, 24/7 severity 1 response, a dedicated customer success manager from kickoff and 40 expert services hours in the first year, with no per-user fees and no surcharge for the payment processor you choose. That makes it attractive for B2B2C networks, distributors and multi-brand groups that want composable architecture with a clear starting budget. Elastic Path does not publish a customer count, so adoption is scored conservatively.

    Strengths

    • +Published annual entry price for a composable platform
    • +Same SLA and support at every tier
    • +No surcharge for the payment processor you choose

    Limitations

    • −Entry tier capped at $5M GMV or 15,000 orders per year
    • −Professional and Enterprise tiers are quoted
    • −No citable customer count

    SummaryElastic Path suits buyers who want composable commerce with a known entry budget. Check how quickly your volume will pass the Entry tier caps.

  10. 10

    Saleor

    7.0overall

    Open-source, GraphQL-first commerce engine with Saleor Cloud plans priced by monthly GMV.

    Best forTechnical teams that want an open-source GraphQL back end with managed hosting and migration help.

    Adoption data

    400kSaleor says its cloud platform transacts 400,000 orders a month.

    Saleor, Saleor homepage (2026): “Transacting 400k orders a month”

    Saleor is an open-source commerce engine built around a GraphQL API, with more than 160 webhooks and over 45 mount points for custom UI in its dashboard. Saleor Cloud publishes its prices: free sandboxes for prototyping, Select at $1,599 per month for up to $200,000 of monthly GMV with 0.8 percent on orders above that, and Volume at $3,999 per month for up to $1,000,000 with 0.4 percent above. An optional Accelerator add-on costs $6,000 and covers pre-launch support, rebated against the subscription after go-live. Saleor says its cloud handles over a billion API requests and 400,000 orders a month. It suits teams that want open-source code and a typed API without running infrastructure themselves. The GMV overage means costs rise with sales, unlike Medusa's flat plans, and the partner and app ecosystem is far smaller than the hosted leaders, so plan to build more in-house.

    Strengths

    • +Open source, with a managed cloud option
    • +Published USD plan prices and GMV caps
    • +Rate on overage GMV drops on the Volume plan

    Limitations

    • −GMV overage fees of 0.8% on Select and 0.4% on Volume
    • −Smaller ecosystem than Shopify or Adobe
    • −Needs developers to build the storefront

    SummarySaleor gives technical teams an open-source GraphQL engine with clear cloud pricing. Compare its GMV overage against flat-fee options as volume grows.

Choosing a product

Read GMV figures with their scope
Shopify reported $119 billion of GMV in the third quarter of 2026, Commerce.com reported $9.0 billion for BigCommerce and VTEX reported $5.5 billion. These cover every merchant on each platform, not only enterprise accounts. commercetools and Salesforce publish customer or shopper counts instead. Use these numbers to judge vendor scale and partner depth, not fit for your catalog.
Model fees that grow with sales
Shopify Plus adds a variable platform fee, BigCommerce plans follow trailing 12-month GMV, and Saleor charges 0.8 percent above $200,000 of monthly GMV on Select. commercetools prices on orders, and Medusa Cloud plans carry no GMV fees. Project next year's volume before comparing quotes.
Compare term length, not only monthly price
Shopify Plus costs $2,300 per month on a 3-year term and $2,500 on a 1-year term. BigCommerce Performance and Elastic Path's Entry tier are billed annually, and Elastic Path says multi-year terms get its best rates. Ask every vendor for the price at the term you plan to sign.
Decide between hosted and composable
Shopify Plus and BigCommerce host the full stack, including themes and checkout. commercetools, Elastic Path, Saleor and Medusa provide APIs and leave more of the storefront to your team or an integrator. Composable platforms give more control, but the build cost sits outside the license.
Match the platform to your existing systems
Salesforce Commerce Cloud shares data with Salesforce CRM and Marketing Cloud, Adobe Commerce connects to Adobe Experience Platform and AEM Assets, and SAP Commerce Cloud offers a cloud ERP edition that connects natively to SAP ERP. If one of these suites already runs your business, the matching platform often cuts integration work.

Which enterprise ecommerce platform processes the most sales?

Shopify reported $119 billion of GMV in the third quarter of 2026, far above Commerce.com's $9.0 billion for BigCommerce and VTEX's $5.5 billion in the same quarter. commercetools says it processes over $110 billion of annualized GMV.
