BigCommerce expands into the Netherlands, France, and Italy

With BigCommerce, merchants will have access to an ecommerce platform built to sell on a local and global scale.

According to the press release, the pandemic has accelerated the shift to ecommerce and led to significant growth of ecommerce markets within the Eurozone. In the UK as well as France, Italy and the Netherlands, the volume of ecommerce sales is growing year on year. It is estimated that the ecommerce sales in the Eurozone will total USD 530.7 billion by the end of 2021 alone.

BigCommerce’s expansion will create new roles in France, Italy, and the Netherlands to work directly with merchants in the region. As part of this fully localised experience, merchants will be able to use the BigCommerce platform to manage their store in their local language, as well as create a fully localised website experience for their shoppers, with their local payment methods and currencies.
