We note that the launch of its open-source checkout platform namely Open Checkout, which offers a production-level checkout with an open source front-end, is anticipated to have aided its momentum across merchants, developers and partners.

Further, the company’s partnership with EPAM Systems is expected to have contributed well. BigCommerce is likely to have gained traction across its merchants by helping them in delivering enhanced customer experience across digital touchpoints in the fourth quarter.

Apart from these, the company witnessed record-breaking sales in the period starting from Thanksgiving till Cyber Monday. This is anticipated to have significantly driven top-line growth for the to-be-reported quarter.

Moreover, the increasing proliferation of online shopping, owing to the coronavirus-led shelter-in-place guidelines, is anticipated to have continued to act as a major tailwind for the company in the quarter under review.

Additionally, the impacts of solid momentum across BigCommerce’s international business on the back of its expanding product offerings and go-to-market capabilities worldwide are expected to get reflected in the fourth-quarter results.

Furthermore, increasing traction across B2C and B2B merchants is expected to have driven growth in the company’s enterprise business in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

Also, partnerships with CED Commerce, Wish, SureDone, Feedonomics and Deliverr are expected to have added strength to BigCommerce’s technology ecosystem in the quarter under review.

However, intensifying competition in the e-commerce market is anticipated to have remained a major negative for the company in the fourth quarter.

Further, mounting marketing expenses are likely to have remained concerning for the operational performance of the company in the quarter under review.
