BigCommerce expands Stripe integration to deliver optimised checkout experiences

BigCommerce has announced an expansion of its partnership with Stripe, the programmable financial services company. The upgraded integration gives BigCommerce merchants worldwide access to Stripe’s Optimized Checkout Suite, including a range of dynamic local and alternative payment methods such as Link, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) and regional payment methods. The integration also offers merchants the opportunity to utilise Stripe’s advanced AI-driven fraud prevention tools.

The integration upgrade addresses key challenges facing merchants today, from rising operational costs to the need for seamless global expansion. The enhanced BigCommerce + Stripe solution support merchants to modernise checkout, reduce friction and build for the future. BigCommerce says this is achieved without increasing backend complexity.
With this launch, BigCommerce brings Stripe’s most advanced checkout capabilities to merchants across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. Previously, Stripe’s Link checkout technology was primarily limited to BigCommerce merchants in the US. However, the solution is now available globally, enabling faster, more localised and repeat-friendly checkout experiences for consumers.

According to Travis Hess, CEO of Commerce, “Stripe brings a high level of performance and intelligence to payments. This matters more than ever in today’s commerce environment.”

“By combining Stripe’s AI-powered payments and fraud prevention with BigCommerce’s open platform, we are helping merchants build a commerce foundation that’s ready for what’s next. Whether that’s expanding globally, adopting new technologies or meeting rising customer expectations.”

Key new features

With the upgraded version of Stripe and BigCommerce’s integration, merchants gain access to:

• Faster, more personalised checkout: Link enables repeat customers to check out 3x faster, driving up to 14% higher conversion rates for returning users.
• Global payment flexibility: Support for over 30 local payment methods and BNPL offerings, dynamically surfaced based on location. These solutions are expected to reduce cart abandonment and increase revenue by up to 14%.
• AI-powered fraud prevention: Stripe Radar leverages machine learning to reduce fraud by an average of 38%, helping protect merchants and customers alike.
• Unified operations: A single platform for payments, tax, fraud prevention and payouts—backed by 99.999% uptime and 500+ million daily API requests.

“As a merchant on BigCommerce, this integration gave us some big benefits,” said Frank Almeida, head of ecommerce at Canpump. The company is a supplier of pressure washing and misting equipment and a participant in the integration’s beta programme. “Having early access to wallets like Link and Amazon Pay, plus flexible options like Klarna, gave our customers faster and more convenient ways to play.”

BigCommerce says merchants can upgrade their existing Stripe integration directly from the BigCommerce dashboard in just a few clicks.

“Stripe’s goal is to make frontier technology accessible to every merchant — from global brands to businesses selling online for the first time,” said Tyler Bryson, CRO Americas at Stripe. “This integration with BigCommerce ensures that merchants of any size or technical skill can turn checkout into a reliable growth engine.”

Enterprise Times: What this means for businesses.

All the industry analysts expect eCommerce to experience significant growth in the coming years. Consequently, eCommerce service providers must ensure they have the necessary infrastructure to accommodate this expansion. The checkout process remains a critical component of the customer journey, requiring brands, retailers, and service providers to optimise it with maximum effectiveness and efficiency. Hence the sensible expansion of the partnership between from Stripe and BigCommerce.

Last April 2025, Travis Hess, Chief Executive Officer at BigCommerce, spoke at BigCommerce’s Summit at Tottenham Hotspur football club in north London. Hess focused on understanding the market, organisation and the importance of partnerships to drive growth and efficiency. This announcement will enable merchants to implement a unified payments foundation to modernise checkout. This will be essential if these retailers and brands have the ambition to expand globally and grow revenue without adding complexity. Ultimately, it is a win-win situation for both parties, as well as their merchants.
