What’s Trending in the Dev Community?
Welcome to a recap of what’s trending in the BigCommerce Developer Community. Every other week, we’ll take a look at the discussions happening in our dev spaces. You’ll see our most popular and insightful conversations, along with questions that could use your expertise or helpful advice.
In the Community, we’re seeing conversations around redirecting via Customer Login API and V3 Cart: Redirect URLs API, as well as the native redirect to /account.php?action=order_status which happens after a customer logs into a BigCommerce storefront.
