Our take
SaaS eCommerce platform BigCommerce is taking full advantage of the recent shift towards online shopping with its software that helps businesses of all sizes build and run eCommerce sites. Aside from providing a template for stores with functions including shipping and payment tracking, it also provides tools to cross-sell on other markets such as Amazon.
BigCommerce competes in this space with Shopify, another major eCommerce provider. While both companies have their adherents, BigCommerce's competitive advantage is in the sheer range of built-in features provided to its customers and the transparency of its pricing structure. While it can be more complicated to learn its flexibility is prized by the customers who have mastered its features. These include major brands such as Ted Baker, Skullcandy and Burrow to name just a few.
BigCommerce went public in 2020 with a valuation of almost $7 billion. Since then it has expanded aggressively into Europe and the Latin American market, including closing partnerships which enable BigCommerce vendors to sell on Mercado Libre. It is currently focusing on developing its enterprise offering as part of a shift towards profitability rather than continued market expansion as it seeks to navigate through the tricky economic situation for global eCommerce retailers in 2023.
