BigCommerce is also recognized as a Major Player in Enterprise B2B Digital Commerce Applications by IDC MarketScape

AUSTIN, Texas – December 18, 2023 – BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established B2C and B2B brands, today announced it has been named a Leader in the new IDC MarketScape: Worldwide B2B Digital Commerce Applications for MidMarket Growth 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment. The report evaluated 22 digital commerce vendors based on both their capabilities and strategy for B2B use cases.

Heather Hershey, research director, Worldwide Digital Commerce at IDC states in the report’s evaluation¹: “Consider BigCommerce if you are a fast-growing, experience-driven brand looking for a multi-tenant SaaS B2B digital commerce platform. BigCommerce potentially offers a high degree of business agility and fast time-to-market by offering a platform that is very business user–friendly, out-of-the-box, but also provides options to extend the platform via integrations with other applications (composable commerce). Buyers should consider BigCommerce when business agility, tech agility, and experiences are core differentiation strategies.”

The IDC Marketscape report cites BigCommerce’s strengths as a Leader in B2B MidMarket Digital Commerce as:

• Developer and business user-friendly: Everything about BigCommerce — integrations, interfaces, the low-code/no-code frontend — is designed to be accessible to business users without the need for developer support. BigCommerce is also versionless with an API-first design, providing ample flexibility for seasoned developers to create headless and composable commerce experiences.

• Flexible MACH architecture under the hood: While it is user-friendly, BigCommerce is extremely extensible by virtue of its MACH architecture capabilities. BigCommerce provides APIs and developer-friendly features to give buyers the ability to create headless and composable ecosystems for commerce. BigCommerce can also natively support multisite, multi-geo, B2B2C, omni-channel, and multi-language commerce deployments.

• Open SaaS ecosystem: BigCommerce offers open-sourced checkout, 95%+ API coverage on its platform, and a large app marketplace with easy business-friendly integrations that generally don’t require an expert to install.

BigCommerce was also recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise B2B Digital Commerce Applications 2023–2024 Vendor Assessment², which IDC simultaneously published alongside the midmarket growth report.

"We believe BigCommerce's positioning as a Leader in this year’s IDC Marketscape affirms our standing as a trusted partner for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and other B2B companies worldwide," said Brent Bellm, CEO at BigCommerce. "Ecommerce is now a top priority in B2B and we believe BigCommerce is the best platform to help businesses sell faster and meet buyer expectations. Our recent B2B Edition enhancements and Invoice Portal launch demonstrate our ongoing commitment to equip businesses with the B2B functionalities to adapt, innovate and grow for long-term success.”
