AUSTIN, Texas – July 6, 2022 – BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established B2C and B2B brands, today announced it has grown its European presence into Austria, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. With its DACH and Nordic expansion and fully localized tech and agency partner ecosystem, BigCommerce will enable merchants of all sizes and complexities to build and scale their online businesses to deliver seamless shopping experiences to local and cross-border customers and drive revenue.
“BigCommerce’s arrival into new DACH and Nordic 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,” said Jim Herbert, senior vice president and general manager EMEA at BigCommerce. “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.”
Industry insights predict that over the next few years, ecommerce in Europe will maintain the growth trajectory brought by the coronavirus pandemic. Denmark and Norway reported Europe’s highest online shopping spending per capita at approximately 3,000 and 2,300 euros, respectively, with 29% in Denmark citing ease and convenience as the primary driver. In Sweden, the ecommerce share of the total retail market has consistently risen since 2007 with online shopping estimated at 146 billion Swedish kronor.

Create versatile shopping experiences that power growth. In addition to a fully translated control panel and native-language support, retailers can use multi-language, multi-currency, secure payment capabilities and more to easily create local storefronts or expand their customer reach in new markets. Global merchants can also use Multi-Storefront to efficiently manage multiple storefronts, brands, customer segments and/or geographies from a single BigCommerce store.
Deliver an omnichannel shopping experience and surface new revenue streams. BigCommerce’s open SaaS approach enables direct integrations with global channels like Facebook Shopping, Instagram Shopping and TikTok Ads to help merchants develop strong omnichannel strategies to bolster sales.
Tap into B2B functionality to build powerful B2B storefronts. BigCommerce’s advanced suite of native functionality and strong ecosystem of integration partner applications make it easier for B2B merchants to offer seamless B2C-like experiences to customers.
