Commerce has announced a major new payment offering designed to give merchants greater control, visibility, and flexibility to grow with confidence.
BigCommerce Payments, powered by PayPal, is an optional solution built directly into the BigCommerce platform. It’s the latest innovation set to improve how merchants sell online.
For Commerce – the parent brand of BigCommerce, Freedonomics, and Makeswift – this marks another step toward enhanced usability for both merchants and customers. The application is scheduled to launch in the US in 2026, with international rollout to follow in phases.
What does this new tool do?
This optional application combines PayPal’s trusted reliability, security, and global reach with Commerce’s merchant-focused platform.
1. A seamless backend experience
By embedding PayPal’s payment infrastructure directly into BigCommerce, merchants no longer need to switch between systems. A new “Money” dashboard within BigCommerce provides direct access to PayPal, along with detailed payment data in one place.
2. Greater control and visibility
With real-time balance insights, top-ups, payouts, and currency management, merchants gain improved transparency and control. Despite these added capabilities, payments remain simple to manage, with the merchant relationship continuing directly with PayPal.
3. Access to BNPL and advanced features
BigCommerce Payments enables flexible payment options, including PayPal’s Pay Later (BNPL). Offering these options can improve customer experience and help increase conversion rates.
A landmark move
This launch represents another significant step in Commerce’s mission to drive growth in the modern ecommerce landscape.
“Commerce is thrilled to extend our longstanding partnership with PayPal,” said Travis Hess, CEO at Commerce. “BigCommerce Payments represents a major step forward in creating a seamless and intelligent commerce experience for our merchants.”
“By embedding PayPal’s trusted payment solutions directly into our platform, we’re giving merchants more control, visibility, and flexibility to grow with confidence.”
Michelle Gill, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Small Business & Financial Services at PayPal, added: “Together with Commerce, we’re empowering merchants to seize the future with confidence and agility.”
