BigCommerce has been building strategic partnerships recently. It aims to give its users more options and improve their selling experience. Not long ago, the eCommerce hosting provider entered an alliance with Trustpilot.
More recently, BigCommerce has joined forces with FedEx and Magnolia CMS. The world is still battling the COVID-19 pandemic. So most people are relying on home deliveries to order items they’d usually buy at a physical location. Hence, Sellers need better shipping options to serve their buyers.
Great eCommerce experiences should be paired with equally better shipping options.

Increase Delivery Options for SMEs
BigCommerce and FedEx are helping businesses access FedEx’s portfolio of eCommerce solutions. This development is a direct response to a study in 2019.
In that study, 77 percent of participants they abandoned their carts because of unsatisfactory shipping options. Based on the promises of this partnership, small store owners will access enterprise shipping capabilities.
Merchants that signup for the service get several business advantages including,
- Seven-days-a-week home delivery,
