Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

Commerce Fees and Billing terms say fees are non-refundable, including prepaid unused time. The public pricing FAQ also says BigCommerce does not offer refunds and points to the 15-day free trial instead.

No refunds
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

A chosen downgrade takes effect at the start of the next renewal period. Commerce does not credit or refund the remainder of the current prepaid period. Plans can also auto-upgrade when trailing-twelve-month GMV crosses the plan cap.

What happens to my account data?
