BigCommerce Platform Updates, July 2022
- Introducing Commonwealth Bank For Australian Merchants: To extend our growing list of supported payment gateways and payment options, we’re happy to announce that Commonwealth Bank is now available for AUS merchants. Key benefits are: reduced checkout friction, enabled manual capture & reduction of fraud and chargebacks with 3DS.XT.
- New local payment methods available with Stripe: Through BigCommerce and Stripe, you now have the ability to offer your customers a wider range of payment options via bank transfers, vouchers & digital wallets. Taking advantage of these new payment methods can help merchants reach more buyers globally.
- Better domain management in the control panel for Headless: We’ve recently announced two new control panel additions for headless domain management: a UI for managing custom checkout domains (1 per storefront), and improvements to the UI for storefront domain and routes management.
- A new user’s guide to BigCommerce resources: As part of the Community team’s focus on enablement, one of our team members put together this blog to help guide new store owners on the BigCommerce platform. Drew covers everything new & tenured store owners should know to optimize their experience with BigCommerce.
- Set up a different Meta Pixel for storefronts: In addition to having a global Meta Pixel that is used by all your storefronts, you now have the option to configure a unique Pixel per storefront. This includes support for the Conversions API that we announced last year.
- Advanced Promotion Editor now available to all stores: The advanced editor for managing automatic and coupon promotions is now available to all store plans. In addition to discount rule templates we released to help merchants build tailored discounts.
- More flexibility with overrides for refund adjustments: Delivering a popular feature request from BigCommerce Ideas, the ability to make precise adjustments to refund amounts is now available to all stores. This feature gives flexibility to your order management experience by adding the option to override automatic adjustments to the refund total.
