Badger Commerce Lite and Badger Commerce Enterprise run on exactly the same core. Lite is purposefully streamlined to launch and grow; Enterprise switches on the search, taxonomy and merchandising a large catalogue needs. Start where you are today — moving up is a configuration change, never a replatform.
Badger Commerce comes from Kedos Consulting — the team retailers bring in to build the ecommerce platforms behind some of the largest stores in the UK and Europe. FTSE 100 retailers, major telcos and global consumer brands hire us to design commerce that holds up under real scale.
Badger is that work, turned into a product. The same architecture, the same patterns, the same hard-won lessons — rebuilt so you can run on them from your first sale to your millionth. It is the platform a year of our consulting would build you, from £7 a month.
Whichever edition you choose, you get the same enterprise core. This is what both include as standard — the storefront, the selling, the operations.
The dividing line is search and merchandising. Lite handles browsing and hand-curated collections; Enterprise adds Badger Search and the taxonomy engine, so a large catalogue organises and merchandises itself.
The full platform. Every feature, no ceiling.
Catalogue complexity decides this far more reliably than turnover does. A single £5,000 product and ten thousand 50p ones are very different jobs at similar revenue — so start with the shape of your catalogue, not the size of your sales.
On Enterprise you never hand us a percentage of your sales. You bring your own card rates and pay a flat fee per order, so as you grow, more of every sale stays with you. Most merchants find that around £2m a year in online sales, that is already the better deal — and your catalogue usually gets there first: Lite gives you room for up to 5,000 products, and Enterprise takes off the ceiling.
Because both editions run on the same core, upgrading from Lite to Enterprise turns these capabilities on with a configuration change — your storefront, catalogue, orders and customers all carry over untouched. You never rebuild, and you never migrate off Badger to grow.
Either edition — and any platform you already run — works with the rest of Badger Commerce. Each tool is its own subscription, sharing one account and one login, and talking to the same catalogue. Standalone by default, better together.
