BigCommerce is a publicly traded SaaS ecommerce platform founded in 2009 by Eddie Machaalani and Mitchell Harper in Sydney, Australia. The company is now headquartered in Austin, Texas, and listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker BIGC following its IPO in August 2020.

The platform provides merchants with tools for storefront creation, catalog management, payment processing integrations, SEO, and multi-channel selling across marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and social commerce channels.
