Current report
Digital commerce continues to evolve as consumers discovery and purchasing behavior increasingly fragments across AI-driven and third-party surfaces. Buyers are more frequently beginning their purchase journeys in AI interfaces rather than directly on a merchant's owned storefront. We provide the structured product data, composable technology, and scalable infrastructure that help merchants remain discoverable, trustworthy, and capable of transacting wherever those journeys begin. Our rebrand reflects both who we are today and our view of where digital commerce is going as we operate as a connected platform spanning storefronts, product data, and commerce experiences.
Current report
We plan to continue investing in our strategic B2B, B2C, and SB offerings, with an emphasis on simplifying our business, realigning investment toward our highest-value initiatives, and building scalable infrastructure to support AI-enabled and agentic commerce use cases. We expect to advance our growth strategy through continued product innovation, expansion of strategic partnerships, and development of AI-driven commerce solutions that address increasingly complex merchant needs. We also intend to grow our business by acquiring new customers, expanding adoption and usage among existing customers, mitigating churn, and selectively expanding our presence in new markets, while maintaining a disciplined focus on operating efficiency and profitability
Current report
While Commerce has historically been described as storefront-centric, we believe it is increasingly becoming more data-centric, distributed, and orchestrated. Product data must be structured and enriched, discovery and engagement occur across multiple surfaces, and systems must coordinate experience, pricing, inventory, and transaction execution.
Current report
Our platform is organized across three integrated layers; product intelligence, experience, and transaction. Built on an unified, open, API-first framework, the platform enables us to operate as a full-stack solution or provide modular capabilities alongside third-party systems. We believe this flexibility is increasingly important as AI reshapes how commerce is designed, manage, and transacted across channels.
Current report
Our platform is designed to address these requirements through three integrated layers. Feedonomics serves as our product intelligence layer, enabling merchants to normalize, enrich, and syndicate product data across storefronts, marketplaces, advertising channels, and certain AI-enabled discovery surfaces. Makeswift serves as our experience layer, allowing merchants to create, manage, and govern digital experiences across web, mobile, and emerging interfaces, including those supported by AI technologies. BigCommerce serves as our transaction layer, providing core transaction functionality, including cart, checkout, order management, pricing, promotions, and related APIs.
Current report
We believe the integration of these layers aligns with how commerce systems are evolving as AI adoption increases, with greater emphasis on structured data, governed experiences, and reliable transaction execution. Our open, API-first architecture allows merchants to deploy our platform as a full solution or alongside third-party systems as needed.
Current report
We continue to focus on embedding AI across the commerce lifecycle in a practical and responsible manner as commerce evolves toward more distributed and AI-enabled models.
Current report
We continue to invest in our core commerce offerings to support growth across enterprise B2B and B2C customer segments, as well as SB use cases.
Current report
To support B2B customers, we continued to enhance our platform with features supporting complex organizational structures and workflows, including multi-company hierarchy support, roles based access controls, and configure-price-quote ("CPQ") tool. We also integrated "B2B Edition" capabilities into the BigCommerce core control panel to provide a more unified user experience across features. We believe these investments improve our customers' ability to manage complex organizational structures and workflows, streamline purchasing processes, and support more sophisticated pricing and quoting requirements.
Current report
To support enterprise B2C customers, we introduced a series of AI-enabled enhancements across our platform, including improvements in product catalog categorization, attribute population, and schema mapping. We also made improvements to other "critical-to-quality" commerce capabilities including checkout, promotions, permissions, payments, storefront creation and editing, and catalog management.
Current report
These investments are intended to reduce operational complexity and support product visibility, conversion, and transaction execution across both direct-to-consumer and third-party digital channels. As AI-enabled technologies and agent-based workflows continue to evolve, we believe the importance of structured product data, governed experience management, and reliable transaction infrastructure will continue to shape our product development priorities, as commerce expands across a broader set of channels, interfaces, and agent-driven environments.
Current report
We continue to evaluate and refine our pricing, packaging, and monetization models to better align value delivered with value captured across our product portfolio. These efforts may include expanding cross-sell and upsell opportunities, introducing bundled offerings, and developing additional monetization solutions, including payments-related offerings.
Current report
In March 2026, we launched BigCommerce Payments, an integrated payment processing option designed primarily for small and mid-sized customers looking for a streamlined, integrated approach to activate payments, and simplify onboarding. We believe this approach may improve customer retention and increase monetization of GMV, while allowing us to scale payments in a capital-efficient manner.
Current report
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we are updating our plan structure, including plan names, GMV thresholds, and support tiers, and introducing a fee on certain orders processed through non-embedded payment providers for self-service merchants. We will replace our prior Standard, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans with Core, Growth, Scale, and Performance plans. These changes are intended to align our platform with a defined set of integrated payment partners, where we are prioritizing investment to enhance checkout performance, expand localized payment methods, and improve merchant and buyer experience. We believe increased adoption may improve conversion, retention, and platform engagement, although the extent and timing remain uncertain.
Current report
Acquisition of new customers
Current report
The growth of our customer base remains important to our continued revenue growth. We believe we are positioned to grow through a combination of direct sales efforts, marketing initiatives, product-led growth channels, and referrals from our agency and technology partners.
Current report
We are focused on driving capital-efficient customer acquisition by leveraging our partner ecosystem, optimizing inbound marketing strategies, and emphasizing scalable distribution channels. Our partner-centric strategy is intended to enable customers to compose solutions that integrate with adjacent technology providers, including payments, fulfillment, ERP, marketing, and other categories, and may support demand generation through ecosystem-led distribution.
Current report
We continually evaluate our ideal customer profiles and resource allocation to prioritize customer segments and industries where our open, composable, and AI-enabled platform provides differentiated value. As part of our broader platform strategy, we have positioned Commerce as the parent brand unifying BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift, reflecting an evolution toward an open, intelligent ecosystem designed to support modular commerce architectures and emerging AI-enabled and agentic commerce use cases.
Current report
Our B2C customers include branded manufacturers, multi-brand online retailers, and store-based retailers. These customers may use our platform for storefront management, merchandising, and omnichannel selling, and often integrate third-party technologies across marketing, payments, content management, and fulfillment.
Current report
We cater to a range of B2B businesses, including manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, professional services, and hybrid B2B/B2C sellers. These customers may use capabilities such as account hierarchies, customer specific pricing, quoting workflows, and procurement-related functionality to support complex B2B use cases and digitize traditional sales motions.
Current report
Small business customers are typically growth-oriented merchants that may initially adopt foundational commerce functionality and expand usage as their operations scale. We seek to serve the SB market through accessible onboarding, self-service capabilities, and integrations that allow them to add functionality over time.
Current report
We serve these lines of business with professional-grade commerce solutions, high-touch experiences and seamless integration, providing dependable, customizable, and scalable tools that drive growth and enable business agility. With a synergistic combination of flexible platform capabilities, powerfully connected data, and visually captivating customer experiences, our unified platform helps businesses transform commerce operations, elevate customer experiences, and optimize revenue across all channels.
Current report
Retention and growth of our existing customers
Current report
We believe our long-term revenue growth is correlated with our ability to retain customers and expand their adoption of our platform. We continue to invest in product functionality to maximize customer success and retention, including investing in our technology to mitigate customer churn. Revenue from existing customers may increase through subscription plan upgrades, additional store deployments, expanded product utilization within Feedonomics, and the adoption of additional products, modules or bundled offerings across our portfolio. As customers grow their commerce operations, subscription revenue may increase through automated sales-based adjustments on certain plans and order-based adjustment on enterprise plans.
Current report
In addition, partner and services revenue generated through revenue-sharing agreements with our strategic technology partners generally increases as customer transaction volumes grow and as customers adopt additional integrated solutions within our ecosystem. Our ability to retain and grow our customers’ commerce businesses often depends on the continued expansion of our platform and the capabilities of our strategic technology partners to provide revenue generating services to our customers. We continually evaluate prospective and existing partners’ abilities to enhance the capabilities of our customers’ commerce businesses. We add new partners and expand existing partner relationships to enhance the utility of our platform, while creating new opportunities to expand our revenue share in partner and services revenue. As we continue to grow as a platform, we believe our ability to realize more favorable and expansive revenue share agreements will grow as well.
Current report
We also grow by selling additional stores to existing customers. Our larger customers will often first use our platform to build a single online store that serves a single brand within their portfolio. These customers can then expand their usage of our platform by launching additional stores to serve additional brands, geographies, or use cases (e.g., B2B in addition to B2C). We continue to invest in product innovation, platform functionality, and customer success initiatives to support retention and drive increased adoption across our unified Commerce platform.
Current report
Our ability to offer more tailored solutions through a broader range of product offerings has allowed us to build stronger, more personalized relationships with customers, which in turn has contributed to reduced churn. Our ability to maintain and improve net revenue retention is influenced by product performance and innovation, pricing and packing, and the overall growth of our customers' commerce operations.
Current report
Evolution of our technology partner ecosystem
Current report
Our partner ecosystem is also central to our business strategy. We believe we possess one of the deepest and broadest ecosystems of integrated technology solutions in the ecommerce industry. We strategically partner with, rather than compete against, the leading providers in adjacent categories, including payments, shipping, point of sale, content management systems, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, and omnichannel. Our partner-centric strategy stands in contrast to our largest competitors, which operate complex software stacks that compete across categories. We focus our research and development investments in our core product with an emphasis on composability, empowering our customers to grow and scale on their terms.

Current report
Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV)
Current report
Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”) represents the total dollar value of completed checkout transactions facilitated through the Commerce platform during the reporting period, including shipping and taxes. GMV is reported on a gross basis before deducting refunds or discounts. GMV is not a measure of revenue.

Gross Merchandise Volume for the three months ended:
Current report
Net Revenue Retention (NRR)
Current report
Net Revenue Retention (“NRR”) measures our ability to retain and expand revenue from existing customers over time. NRR is calculated by dividing total billings and allocated partner revenue from a cohort of customers during the trailing twelve-month period by the total billings and allocated partner revenue from the same customer cohort in the corresponding prior-year period. NRR reflects the impact of customer expansion and contraction and excludes revenue from customers added after the prior twelve-month period.

Restructuring charges consist primarily of severance payments, professional services, contract costs, accelerated depreciation of internal use software, exits of certain office leases, and other related costs.
Current report
Cost of revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from the three months ended March 31, 2025, and gross margin decreased to 76.7 percent from 79.4 percent. The increase in expense is primarily attributable to increases in software and web hosting costs of $2.6 million, $0.4 million of IT related costs, and depreciation of $0.2 million.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from March 31, 2025. The period over period change of $4.2 million was primarily driven by reductions in payroll costs and share-based compensation expense of $3.5 million, $1.0 million of variable marketing spend and $0.7 million of IT related costs, partially offset by increases in amortization of cloud computing arrangements of $0.6 million, and $0.4 million of other expenses such as professional services, depreciation, and capitalized internal costs.

Previous report
We are providing AI-powered shopping as it is transforming the way consumers discover, evaluate, and purchase products. We offer structured product data and composable technology stacks that are essential for merchant success. Our rebrand reflects not only who we are today, but where digital commerce is going. We are executing against a strategy to enable businesses to adapt quickly, sell everywhere, and grow on their own terms, powered by intelligent infrastructure designed for the future.
Previous report
We plan to continue to invest in our strategic B2B and B2C offerings, as well as building new partnerships and continuing to develop our portfolio of professional-grade commerce solutions for forward-focused businesses. We will also invest in and grow our business by acquiring additional customers to our platform, growing our revenue with existing customers, and expanding our presence in new markets while maintaining a focus on profitability.
Previous report
Our architecture is designed to support a wide range of commerce use cases, allowing us to operate flexibly across the technology stack as the storefront experience, the underlying data infrastructure, or the full platform layer depending on merchant needs. This flexible model enhances our ability to support both complex and emerging commerce environments, while improving our ability to cross-sell platform capabilities and drive incremental revenue. We believe this versatility is a key differentiator in the market and positions us to capture value across a broad spectrum of ecommerce environments.
Previous report
We have architected Commerce to address this shift directly. Feedonomics now syndicates enriched, structured product data across major AI discovery surfaces, enabling merchants to reach customers at the point of decision. Through our open, modular platform, merchants can integrate AI driven services, such as agent-assisted support, dynamic pricing, intelligent fulfillment, and automated merchandising, into their commerce stack at their own pace.
Previous report
Our partnerships with leading AI-focused companies further extend these capabilities by enabling structured and enriched product data to flow into AI-powered search and answer engines, improving merchant visibility and performance. These initiatives are designed to accelerate time-to-market, reduce operational complexity, and enhance revenue performance for merchants of all sizes. Our focus remains on embedding AI deeply and responsibly across the commerce lifecycle, ensuring merchants remain discoverable, performant, and in control of their customer experience as the industry transitions toward an AI and agent led era of commerce.
Previous report
We remain committed to growing our presence across both B2B and B2C commerce. The rapid growth in ecommerce adoption is driven by digital transformation, the rise of AI-powered discovery, and shifts in buyer behavior are prompting companies to adopt platforms like Commerce.com to create branded ecommerce stores and power cross-channel connections to online marketplaces, social networks, and offline point of sale ("POS") systems.
Previous report
To meet the evolving needs of enterprise B2B businesses, we released product enhancements, including multi-company hierarchy support and an upgraded configure-price-quote ("CPQ") tool. These enhancements are designed to enable large enterprises to more efficiently manage organizational structures and quoting workflow.
Previous report
In B2C, we continue to execute on our strategic customer strategy, targeting operationally complex and underserved verticals beyond the traditional fashion, beauty, and apparel sectors often prioritized by legacy platforms. We believe that this strategic focus positions us to better address differentiated merchant needs and capture additional market share over time.
Previous report
We are advancing initiatives to expand platform capabilities and support revenue growth.
Previous report
Our new branded payments offering will launch in fiscal year 2026, which will be an optional payments offering for small and medium-sized customers looking for a stream lined, integrated offering with competitive processing rates. This offering is designed to enhance our overall monetization and alignment with merchants, while improving customer retention and introducing modern payments capabilities in a scalable, capital-efficient manner.
Previous report
As part of our bundling strategy, we announced our intention to partner with a performance and error monitoring platform to enhance the merchant experience, with additional bundled offerings under development. These product bundles aim to simplify the commercial requirements of customers’ adoption of composable commerce architectures. We believe this will build stronger relationships with our partners and create new revenue opportunities with customers.

Macroeconomic environment
Previous report
While we are not directly involved in manufacturing or logistics, many of our customers operate across borders and within affected supply chains. We are closely monitoring how shifting trade policies and tariffs may impact international sellers and brands sourcing from affected regions. Although we have not observed a material impact on our performance to date, we remain cautious and continue to partner with our customers to provide flexible solutions that support their agility in a dynamic macroeconomic environment.
Previous report
Average revenue per account
Previous report
We calculate ARPA at the end of a period by including customer-billed revenue and an allocation of partner and services revenue, where applicable. We bill customers for subscription solutions and professional services, and we include both in ARPA for the reported period. For example, ARPA as of September 30, 2025, includes all subscription solutions and professional services billed between January 1, 2025, and September 30, 2025. We allocate partner revenue, where applicable, primarily based on each customer’s share of GMV processed through that partner’s solution. Partner revenue that is not directly linked to customer usage of a partner’s solution is allocated based on each customer’s share of total platform GMV. Each account’s partner revenue allocation is calculated by taking the account’s trailing twelve-month partner revenue, then dividing by twelve to create a monthly average to apply to the applicable period in order to normalize ARPA for seasonality.

Previous report
Net revenue retention
Previous report
We use net revenue retention (“NRR”) to evaluate our ability to maintain and expand our revenue with our account base of enterprise customers exceeding the annual contract value ("ACV") threshold over time. The total billings and allocated partner revenue, where applicable, for the measured period are divided by the total billings and allocated partner revenue for such accounts, corresponding to the period one year prior. An NRR greater than 100 percent implies positive net revenue retention. This methodology includes stores added to or subtracted from an account’s subscription during the previous twelve months. It also includes changes to subscription and partner and services revenue billings, and revenue reductions from stores or accounts that leave the platform during the previous one-year period. Net new accounts added after the previous one-year period are excluded from our NRR calculations. NRR for enterprise accounts was 99 percent and 100 percent for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We update our reported NRR at the end of each fiscal year and do not report quarterly changes in NRR.

Previous report
Cost of revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in expense was primarily attributable to the recording of certain expenses in sales and marketing in the third quarter of 2025 while prior years expenses of $1.4 million were recorded in cost of revenue as certain employees were moved from customer support roles to sales and marketing roles in connection with our restructuring initiatives. The remaining changes relate to reductions in payroll costs and share-based compensation expense of $1.7 million, offset by increases in web hosting of $0.8 million, $0.6 million of IT related costs, and other expenses such as professional services and depreciation of $0.4 million.
Previous report
Cost of revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. A portion of the decrease is attributable to the recording of certain expenses in sales and marketing in the third quarter of 2025 while in prior years expenses of $4.3 million were recorded in cost of revenue due to changes in employee roles. The remaining change was primarily due to decreases in payroll costs and share-based compensation expense of $3.5 million, partially offset by increases in IT related costs of $1.6 million, web hosting costs of $0.8 million, and $0.6 million of professional service costs.
Previous report
Sales and marketing expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The period over period increase was largely related to the recording of certain expenses in sales and marketing in the third quarter of 2025 while in the prior year these expenses of $2.0 million were recorded in cost of revenue and general and administrative as certain employees were moved from customer support and general and administrative roles to sales and marketing roles in connection with our restructuring initiatives. Excluding the impact of these expenses, the period over period increase of $1.1 million was primarily driven by increases in software and professional service costs.
Previous report
Sales and marketing expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. A portion of the period over period increase was related to the recording of certain expenses in sales and marketing in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 while in prior years expenses of $5.9 million were recorded in cost of revenue and general and administrative due to changes in employee roles. The impact of change of roles increase was offset by the period over period decrease of $4.2 million which was primarily due to lower marketing spend of $4.7 million, miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million, and $0.2 million of depreciation and facilities, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million of software costs.

With our repurchases of the 2026 Convertible Notes, there was a reduction in our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. As a result of the repurchases of the 2026 Convertible Notes in fiscal 2024, we have reduced our overall leverage. In addition, we believe that the concurrent exchange of $161.2 million of 2026 Convertible Notes for $150.0 million 2028 Convertible Notes has optimized our debt maturities.

We are built around an open, partner-centric architecture. Rather than offering a closed technology stack, we prioritize flexibility and interoperability with a curated ecosystem of leading technology partners. This includes integrations across payments, tax, shipping, order management, content management system ("CMS"), customer relationship management ("CRM"), and AI-enhanced marketing technology. Our strategy stands in contrast to competitors that seek to control the full commerce technology stack; we instead focus our innovation and investment in core commerce capabilities, data orchestration, and enabling merchant agility through best-of-breed integrations.

Our strategy differentiates us from competitors that seek to control the full commerce technology stack; we instead focus our innovation and investment on core commerce capabilities, data orchestration, and platform extensibility, while enabling merchants to select best-of-breed solutions that meet their specific needs.
