Welcome to the monthly recap of BigCommerce product news and updates. Each month, we’re sharing all the changes and updates available to merchants’ stores on BigCommerce.

Whether you’re an agency partner building and managing an ecommerce site, a freelance developer customizing the BigCommerce storefront, or an app developer wanting to keep on top of natively built features, this your chance to stay in the loop and learn what changes are happening to the BigCommerce platform.

In February we released the Persistent Cart feature, which allows customers to view their cart across multiple devices while logged in to their account. This feature helps to create a seamless experience as customers increasingly gravitate towards mobile when shopping online. Check out our full list of feature releases from February below.
