BigCommerce Strengthens European Presence

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) eCommerce platform BigCommerce announced Wednesday (July 6) that it has grown its European presence into Austria, Denmark, Norway and Sweden and its Latin American presence into Peru.  

BigCommerce empowers merchants of all sizes to build, innovate and grow eCommerce businesses with a range of tools and functions. It includes features for web design, hosting, search engine optimization, security and integrations with social media, payment gateways, and other important platforms in the eCommerce ecosystem. 

According to the press release, “Tens of thousands of B2C and B2B companies across 150 countries and numerous industries use BigCommerce to create beautiful, engaging online stores, including S.C. Johnson, Skullcandy, SoloStove and Vodafone.”  

On the news, Meghan Stabler, senior vice president at BigCommerce, said: “BigCommerce’s arrival into new DACH, Nordic and Latin American markets affords a localized, powerful and scalable open SaaS ecommerce platform to merchants in these regions that have not been previously offered these core tenets in one solution. 

“With our proven enterprise-grade ecommerce platform, merchants of all sizes will have the disruptive tools and innovative functionalities — from headless to omnichannel to B2B — so they can create beautiful and engaging shopping experiences that are grounded in and fortified by forward-looking tech stacks.” 

Thanks to its new presence in Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the latest expansion will enable BigCommerce’s customers to build and scale their eCommerce businesses for the Nordic region. 

It will enter a market of tech-driven solutions looking to create more seamless online shopping experiences in countries that have no hard borders but are separated by currency, language and digital infrastructure. 

For example, BigCommerce will have to meet the needs of retailers that have to navigate the region’s often-complex cross-border payments system.
