One might argue BigCommerce wants another income supply. Amazon’s AWS, its cloud computing platform, drives most of the corporate’s revenue. Shopify Funds, a bank card processor, produces almost two-thirds of total income, excess of core subscriptions to the platform.
But core platform subscriptions account for roughly 75% of BigCommerce’s income. The remaining comes from “companions,” largely third-party app builders who share their proceeds.
Regardless, BigCommerce is by any measure an ecommerce pioneer.

In August 2020, BigCommerce went public, elevating $216 million on the Nasdaq trade underneath the “BIGC” image.
