Overview
We believe we are well positioned to serve as a provider of an open, AI-driven commerce platform designed to support data-centric, distributed, and orchestrated commerce. Our platform is designed to extend the storefront across an expanding set of product discovery and shopping surfaces, enhancing merchant visibility and engagement, and to support how businesses operate, innovate, and grow as AI-driven and agent-enabled commerce continues to evolve. Our software-as-a-service platform enables merchants to orchestrate sophisticated digital commerce experiences across both owned and third-party channels, supporting a wide range of business-to-business ("B2B"), business-to-consumer ("B2C"), and small business ("SB") use cases.
Our unified platform is anchored by three complementary layers that together enable merchants to manage commerce across increasingly fragmented digital environments. BigCommerce serves as our transaction layer, executing transactions and commerce logic. Feedonomics serves as our product intelligence layer, helping merchants structure, enrich, optimize and distribute product data across marketplaces, advertising channels, and emerging AI-powered discovery surfaces. Makeswift serves as our experience layer, enabling merchants to compose and govern digital experiences across web, mobile, and emerging AI interfaces. Together, these products enable merchants to centralize product data, deliver dynamic shopping experiences, and improve visibility across a growing set of discovery and buying channels while supporting increasingly complex commerce workflows.
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. Our platform integrates across payments, tax, shipping, order management, content management system ("CMS"), customer relationship management ("CRM"), and AI-enhanced marketing technology. Our platform is designed to serve as merchant's complete commerce solution or integrate alongside existing commerce technologies, enabling customers to adopt the solutions that best meet their business needs. We believe this approach differentiates us from competitors that seek to control the full commerce technology stack by allowing us to 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.
Digital commerce continues to evolve as consumer discovery and purchasing behavior increasingly occur across AI-powered and third-party digital surfaces rather than exclusively through merchants' owned storefronts. 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. We believe our integrated platform helps merchants address these evolving requirements by connecting product intelligence, digital experiences, and transaction capabilities across an expanding ecosystem of commerce channels.
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 intend to prioritize initiatives and strategic partnerships that we believe deliver the greatest long-term value for merchants while simplifying execution and strengthening our platform. 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, profitability, and cash flows.

Key factors affecting our performance
Our operational and financial results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities as well as risks and challenges, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report.
Leveraging artificial intelligence to drive value
AI has become a core component of our strategic and operational framework, supporting key initiatives across product development, customer experience, and go-to-market execution. Our AI strategy is focused on delivering practical, merchant-facing outcomes, including improved product discoverability, higher conversion, and more intelligent storefront and shopping experiences. These efforts are focused on improving usability and efficiency while seeking to limit incremental technical complexity for merchants.
Our platform is designed to address these requirements through three complementary 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-powered 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.
We believe the integration of these layers positions merchants to participate in the continued evolution of digital commerce as AI adoption increases and product discovery, customer engagement, and transaction execution become increasingly distributed across AI-enabled channels. Our open, API-first architecture allows merchants to deploy our platform as a full solution or alongside third-party systems as needed.
We continue to embed AI capabilities across the commerce lifecycle in a practical and responsible manner while supporting merchants as commerce evolves toward more AI-enabled and agent-driven models.
Investment in core offerings
We continue to invest in our core commerce offerings to support growth across enterprise B2B and B2C customers, as well as SB use cases, with a disciplined focus on initiatives that we believe deliver the greatest long-term value for merchants and strengthen our platform.
For enterprise B2B customers, we continue to enhance our platform with features supporting complex commerce operations, including improvements to organizational management, purchasing workflows, pricing, and transaction execution. We also continue to expand B2B capabilities, including deeper integration within the BigCommerce platform, to provide a more unified user experience. We believe these investments help manufacturers, distributors, and other enterprise merchants streamline operations while supporting increasingly sophisticated commerce requirements.
We also continue to expand Feedonomics Surface, our self-service feed management solution for small and midsize businesses. We expanded Surface's channel availability, providing merchants with additional opportunities to syndicate optimized product data across advertising, marketplace, social, and emerging AI-powered discovery channels. We believe these enhancements simplify multichannel commerce, improve product visibility, and extend enterprise-grade product intelligence capabilities to a broader base of merchants.
Across our platform, we continue to invest in AI-enabled capabilities designed to improve in product discovery, automate merchant workflows, and support emerging agent-enabled commerce experiences. We also continue to enhance core commerce functionality, including checkout, promotions, storefront management, and catalog capabilities, while expanding BigCommerce Payments to provide merchants with a more integrated payments experience.
We believe these investments reduce operational complexity, improve merchant outcomes, and position our platform to support the continued evolution of digital commerce as AI adoption, distributed product discovery, and agent-enabled commerce increasingly reshape how merchants engage with customers.
Expansion of growth initiatives
We continue to evaluate and refine our pricing, packaging, and monetization models to better align value delivered with value captured across our product portfolio. As part of these efforts, we continue to invest in strategic growth initiatives including, BigCommerce Payments, AI-enabled commerce capabilities, B2B solutions, Feedonomics Surface, and other platform enhancements that we believe strengthen merchant outcomes and support long-term monetization.
During the fiscal year 2026, we launched BigCommerce Payments, our 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

have continued to expand adoption of BigCommerce Payments and believe it strengthens merchant relationships and enhances the merchant experience.
We also updated our plan structure, including plan names, GMV thresholds, and support tiers, and introduced a fee on certain orders processed through non-embedded payment providers for self-service merchants. We replaced our prior Standard, Plus, Pro, and Enterprise plans with Core, Growth, Scale, and Performance plans. These changes reflect our strategic decision to prioritize a more focused group of strategically aligned payment partners while maintaining merchant choice through our open and composable platform. We believe this approach improves merchant outcomes, strengthens alignment with key partners, and supports more durable long-term monetization, and enhances the long-term economics of our platform.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Investors and others should note that we announce material financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (investors.commerce.com), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts.

Overview
We are positioned to become the leading provider of an open, AI-driven commerce ecosystem designed to help businesses operate, innovate, and grow as AI-driven and agentic commerce increasingly shape how buyers engage with merchants. Our software-as-a-service platform enables merchants to orchestrate sophisticated digital commerce experiences across both owned and third-party channels, supporting a wide range of business-to-business ("B2B"), business-to-consumer ("B2C"), and small business ("SB") use cases.
Our unified platform is anchored by three core products: BigCommerce, our flexible and open commerce engine; Feedonomics, our AI-powered product data optimization and syndication platform; and Makeswift, our visual editor for building and managing storefront and content experiences. Together, these products enable merchants to centralize product data, deliver dynamic shopping experiences, and improve visibility across a growing set of discovery and buying channels, including emerging agentic surfaces. Through this integrated platform, we deliver differentiated value to merchants operating across complex markets, industries, and commerce workflows.
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. Our platform integrates across payments, tax, shipping, order management, content management system ("CMS"), customer relationship management ("CRM"), and AI-enhanced marketing technology. 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.
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.
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.
Key factors affecting our performance
We believe our future performance will depend on many factors, including the following:
Strategic Brand Unification
We completed a strategic rebranding initiative, unifying our three core owned products; BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift under a single brand identity: Commerce. This rebranding reflects a broader structural integration of our platform designed to enable a more cohesive and scalable approach to AI-led composable commerce.

This unification has allowed us to align internal operations across product development, sales and marketing, and customer success. Functionally, the unified platform now operates as a multi-layered solution that includes storefront capabilities, embedded data services, and a growing network of curated partnerships.
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.
Leveraging artificial intelligence to drive value
AI has become a core component of our strategic and operational framework, supporting key initiatives across product development, customer experience, and go-to-market execution. We continue to advance our agentic foundation. Our AI strategy is focused on delivering practical, merchant-facing outcomes, including improved product discoverability, higher conversion, and more intelligent storefront and shopping experiences. These efforts are focused on improving usability and efficiency while seeking to limit incremental technical complexity for merchants.
We have architected our Commerce platform to support emerging AI-driven shopping and discovery models. Feedonomics functions as a product data enrichment and syndication layer, enabling structured product data to be distributed across branded storefronts, advertising channels, marketplaces, and certain AI-enabled discovery surfaces. This enables merchants to remain visible and competitive at the point of decision as consumer discovery increasingly shifts towards AI-driven experiences.
Through our open, modular platform, merchants can adopt AI driven services, such as intelligent merchandising, dynamic pricing, agent-assisted support, and automated fulfillment, into their commerce stack at their own pace. We continue to expand partnerships with technology providers to support the integration into AI-driven commerce environments.
These initiatives reflect broader transformation and increased investment in innovation. In 2026, we plan to significantly increase our investment in research and development, with a focus on embedding AI capabilities into our core commerce platform while extending Feedonomics as the data and infrastructure layer for agentic commerce. 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.
Investment in core offerings
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.
To support B2B customers, we continued to enhance our platform with features such as multi-company hierarchy support, roles based access controls, and configure-price-quote ("CPQ") tool. Additionally, we enabled "B2B Edition" in the BigCommerce core control panel, driving a seamless customer experience across a wide range of features. These investments help customers better manage complex organizational structures and workflows, reducing cost and enabling better buyer experiences.
We continued to make strategic progress with our small and midsize businesses with the launch of Feedonomics Surface, a new self-service feed management solution. The solution delivers a streamlined, automated experience designed to support scalable multichannel commerce. This represents an extension of enterprise grade functionality to smaller merchants. Future enhancements are expected to include additional advertising, marketplace, social and agentic channel integrations as well as AI driven feed optimization to further improve merchant performance and retention.
To help enterprise B2C customers, we rolled out a series of AI-driven improvements in product catalog categorization, attribute population, and schema mapping that allow for better sales across channels and 1P websites, saving customers significant operations expenditure and enabling sales lift. We also made improvements to other "critical-to-quality" commerce capabilities including checkout, promotions, permissions, payments, storefront creation and editing, and catalog management.
Collectively, these investments in our core offerings allow our customers to reduce costs and drive growth through better buyer experiences on 1P and 3P digital channels.
Expansion of growth initiatives
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 launching optional monetization solutions such as our branded payments offering.
Our new BigCommerce payments offering, expected to launch in fiscal year 2026, is designed to provide an integrated payment processing option for small and mid-sized customers looking for a streamlined, integrated way to activate payments, and simplify

onboarding. This offering is designed to enhance our overall monetization of GMV and alignment with merchants, while improving customer retention and introducing modern payments capabilities in a scalable, capital-efficient manner.
Acquisition of new customers
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.
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.
