Hi everyone. Over the last few weeks we’ve been working closely with Google to put together a special offer for all new and existing BigCommerce merchants. Starting today, anyone who signs up for a BigCommerce paid plan will receive up to $100 in Google AdWords credit.

Google AdWords ads promote your business alongside relevant search results on Google, right where potential customers are searching for the products you sell. There are literally millions of ecommerce stores which use Google AdWords as their online form of marketing with great success.

All existing customers will also receive an email later today containing instructions on how to redeem their Google AdWords credit as well.

So, how much Google AdWords credit will you receive?

Bronze merchants receive $50 Google AdWords credit
Silver merchants receive $50 Google AdWords credit
Gold merchants receive $75 Google AdWords credit
Platinum merchants receive $100 Google AdWords credit
Diamond merchants receive $100 Google AdWords credit

To learn more about Google AdWords please see this page on our web site. We’ve also updated our pricing and plans page to include details on the Google AdWords credit as well.

This is just one of the many partnerships we’ve got lined up over the coming months to help you get the most out of BigCommerce. We’ll be making some further announcement in the coming weeks. If you have any questions feel free to leave them below and I’ll be happy to help.

Try BigCommerce free for 15 days and see why it's loved by over 10,000 successful businesses.

Hi Margaret. It’s only for those signing up for a new Google AdWords account unfortunately – that’s Google’s terms, not ours. There’s nothing stopping you from creating a new account though!

Hi Sarah. Try checking your spam/junkmail folder. If you can’t find it in there and if you’re not using your BigCommerce email to manage your mail, ask your systems administrator if it may have been caught in your mail server’s spam trap, such as Postini or Spam Assassin. Google is quite strict on their terms around a partnership for AdWords coupons and unfortunately we can’t send you another one – but we would if it was up to us.
