On October 22, 2024, Nuvei and BigCommerce partnership was announced to integrate Nuvei’s enterprise-grade payment solutions directly into BigCommerce’s open SaaS ecommerce platform, making advanced payment capabilities accessible to tens of thousands of merchants globally. This alliance leverages Nuvei’s for Platforms suite to deliver a unified, omnichannel payment experience—bridging online storefronts with in-store systems and simplifying the complexities of cross-border commerce across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
The partnership shows an inclining trend towards embedded payments, where ecommerce platforms natively include processing functionality, eliminating the need for third-party gateway integrations and reducing friction at checkout. With BigCommerce’s robust and customizable storefront tools with Nuvei’s powerful payment orchestration and local acquiring capabilities, merchants gain a single integration that supports multiple payment methods, currencies, and settlement options, driving both conversion rates and operational efficiency.
In today’s hypercompetitive ecommerce sector, merchants face mounting pressure to deliver frictionless checkout experiences and support a growing array of local and alternative payment methods (APMs) to meet consumer preferences. Recognizing this challenge, Nuvei and BigCommerce collaborated to create an end-to-end payment orchestration layer that sits natively within the BigCommerce platform.
This embedded approach eliminates the need for merchants to integrate multiple gateways or external plugins, thereby reducing development overhead and potential points of failure. The result is a streamlined path to revenue that aligns with evolving shopper expectations for speed, security, and personalization.
The partnership was formally announced on October 22, 2024, with Nuvei and BigCommerce executives highlighting their shared vision for simplifying global commerce. Nuvei’s “Nuvei for Platforms” solution provides BigCommerce merchants with comprehensive transaction processing tools, ranging from authorization and capture to refunds and chargeback management, backed by advanced fraud protection and regulatory compliance standards like 3DS2.
In tandem, BigCommerce’s flexible, API-driven storefront capabilities ensure that merchants can seamlessly design checkout flows that integrate these payment features without sacrificing performance or customization.
Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s CEO, expressed excitement about the partnership with BigCommerce, aiming to introduce Nuvei for Platforms’ advanced payment solutions to customers worldwide, starting with Europe, North America, and Australia.
For merchants, the benefits extend beyond native checkout integration. Nuvei’s bank-agnostic settlement model allows sellers to choose their acquiring partner or rely on Nuvei’s global acquiring network, unlocking faster access to funds via same-day or next-day settlement options.
Other FinTech collaborations have also led to the development and integration of comprehensive omnichannel payment solutions. For instance, in August, the Revolut Business Payment Gateway was integrated with the BigCommerce platform. This enhancement has streamlined payment processing for online businesses and improved the checkout process for customers.
Additionally, support for over 716 alternative payment methods and 150 currencies (including 40 different cryptocurrencies) means that businesses can expand into new regions without navigating the complexities of local payment regulations. Centralized dashboards and reporting tools give merchants real-time visibility into payment performance, chargebacks, and reconciliation, enabling data-driven optimizations and reducing manual effort.
Shannon Ingrey, VPt and General Manager, APAC, at BigCommerce, mentioned that their collaboration with Nuvei underscores their dedication to offering customers access to top-tier technology and service providers in the market. Nuvei aligns with their goal to assist brands and retailers in increasing sales and accelerating growth to achieve greater success. They are eager to work together to provide mutual support to their customers.
Strategically, the alliance strengthens both Nuvei’s and BigCommerce’s market propositions. BigCommerce, serving tens of thousands of B2C and B2B brands across 120 countries and counting, enhances its platform by embedding robust payments functionality that rivals legacy gateways and monolithic ecommerce providers. Whereas, Nuvei deepens its footprint in the SaaS ecommerce sector—the fastest-growing subsector of digital commerce—by tapping into BigCommerce’s extensive merchant network, which includes emerging brands and enterprise retailers alike.
This symbiotic relationship accelerates revenue growth potential for both companies and positions them to capitalize on the projected multi-billion-dollar embedded payments market.
On August 26, 2024, Nuvei and Fintech360 also launched a cutting-edge cashier solution to set new standards in secure and efficient digital transactions for the Forex B2B industry, enabling brokers and their clients to leverage Fintech360’s Ultimate Cashier tool with smart routing and integrations across over 250 payment service providers (PSPs). This collaboration aimed to help forex businesses and their clients enhance productivity by using Fintech360’s services.
The launch responded to the financial landscape where effective payment processing is crucial for success, particularly in the Forex B2B sector. With the growth of digital commerce, there is increased pressure on organizations to provide secure and efficient payment methods. Recognizing this need, fintech companies are concentrating on developing this area and providing solutions that help businesses grow and increase their international presence.
Concurrently, BigCommerce underwent significant corporate developments: Travis Hess was appointed CEO following Brent Bellm’s departure, and in Q2 2024 the company reported revenues of $81.8 million (an 8% YoY increase) and an adjusted EBITDA of $3 million, while reaffirming Q3 guidance of $82 million–$84 million and full-year revenue guidance of $330.2 million–$335.2 million.
In response, Stifel trimmed its price target to $8.00 yet maintained a Buy rating, and analysts at Needham, Oppenheimer, and KeyBanc upheld their Buy, Perform, and Sector Weight ratings, respectively, signaling broad institutional confidence in BigCommerce’s growth trajectory. Finally, BigCommerce strengthened its leadership team by appointing industry veterans Doug Hollinger (Senior VP, Go-to-Market Strategy), John Huntington (Senior VP, Global Partnerships), and Ryan Means (Senior VP, Global Services) to drive market strategy, partner ecosystems, and service excellence under Hess’s vision.
Looking ahead, the partnership arrives at a pivotal moment as industry regulations like PSD2-driven 3DS2 adoption and increasing demand for localized payment experiences continue to reshape the checkout journey.
With Nuvei’s modular, API-first payments stack and BigCommerce’s composable storefront architecture, merchants are equipped to adapt rapidly to new market requirements—whether that entails adding digital wallets, buy-now-pay-later options, or region-specific APMs—without overhauling their core systems. This agility will be crucial as ecommerce evolves and consumer expectations for speed, security, and choice only rise.
