BigCommerce announces new partner integration with Chargify

E-commerce platform venture, BigCommerce, has announced a new native integration with Chargify, a specialist in billing and subscription management platform for B2B SaaS companies.

In collaboration with developer Ebizio, the move provides BigCommerce B2B and/or B2C merchants with a solution to manage, track and analyse subscription activity.

"Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, many B2B SaaS companies expanded their business models with e-commerce offerings,” says Barrow Hamilton, Chief Product Officer of Chargify.

“Enabling B2B companies to go to market with any business model is our primary objective, and Chargify is the natural next step in that process. It provides a powerful recurring billing and subscription management suite for these hybrid B2B2C companies to support their most complex billing and pricing models."

Merchants can use Open Source Checkout to sell their products on subscription directly through their BigCommerce store, removing the need to change existing third-party systems that rely on orders, inventory or customer goal tracking. 

Merchants can also quickly introduce subscription options to their customers without costly development work. Customers with subscription, non-subscription and varying subscription frequency items in their cart are then able to checkout in a single transaction.

Merchants can also monitor and analyse their revenue growth in real-time with Chargify’s reporting features.

“Our partnership with Chargify further illustrates our commitment to providing merchants access to the highest calibre technologies and service providers available in the industry,” says Russell Klein, Chief Commercial officer at BigCommerce.

“Chargify and Ebizio both share our desire to help merchants sell more and grow faster to maximise success, and we look forward to working together to mutually support customers.”

“While consumers have already adopted the idea of subscribing to products through their preferred e-commerce stores, we believe that businesses will follow suit and become more comfortable with purchasing their products on a subscription basis,” comments Brian Antczak, owner of Ebizio.

“With BigCommerce being the best open SaaS e-commerce platform for B2B companies, and Chargify being a powerful B2B centric subscription platform, the integration between the two only makes sense.”
