BigCommerce Affiliate Program

BigCommerce is the enterprise friendly alternative to Shopify: an open SaaS platform with no transaction fees, strong B2B and wholesale features, headless options and native multi storefront. Mid market brands that outgrow simpler carts often land here, and it competes hard for comparison traffic.

The affiliate program pays 200 percent of the customer's first monthly payment on standard plans, which works out to several hundred dollars on Plus and Pro tiers, and a flat $1,500 for every enterprise customer you refer. Commission rates rise as you send more referrals. The cookie is 90 days. Everything runs through Impact, there is no minimum payout, and you choose when you get paid. Applications are reviewed, and BigCommerce provides a dedicated affiliate team and creative.

The enterprise bounty is the prize. One large brand referral pays more than most affiliates earn from a month of consumer software.

BigCommerce converts from ecommerce platform comparisons, Shopify versus BigCommerce content, B2B ecommerce guides, headless commerce explainers and migration tutorials for brands leaving Magento or WooCommerce. The audience is businesses rather than hobby sellers, so long form, technical content wins. It is one of the highest paying programs in the category and belongs on every ecommerce software site.
