FAQ
How does the program work?
Powered by is a collection of partner-focused APIs that enable you to offer BigCommerce stores to your merchants and seamlessly provide them with access to new ecommerce storefronts.
To take advantage of this reseller opportunity, simply integrate to BigCommerce using our APIs, decide how you’ll promote and market your new ecommerce solution to existing and prospective merchants — and leave the rest to us.
Our Powered by technology gives you the power to:
- Offer a powerful ecommerce platform to your merchants, while building an onboarding experience that fits your merchants’ preference — from discovery and onboarding to accessing their new storefronts.
- Create and manage the lifecycle of accounts and merchant stores.
- Pre-install apps and customize settings such as payment gateways during store creation — making it easy for your merchants to start with all the tools they need.
- Decide whether you own the billing relationship for your merchants’ store subscription — or let BigCommerce manage billing directly with merchants.
What kind of businesses is the program designed for?
Our Powered by reseller opportunity is designed for technology companies across all tech sectors and product verticals. If your company works with small or medium-sized brands and merchants, and sees value in adding an ecommerce platform as a product into your solutions offering, then Powered by could be for you.
Some of our existing partners include global leaders in POS, payments, companies that provide integrated solutions such as an ERP, PIM, CRM or merchant services supporting businesses.
