“BigCommerce shares our commitment to helping retailers grow sales and attract new customers,” Patrick Gauthier, vice president of Amazon Pay, said in a March 20 press release. “Through this integration, BigCommerce merchants can easily integrate Amazon Pay and reach Amazon customers that have come to value a personalized, trusted and familiar buying experience.”
BigCommerce says its merchants will see reduced checkout friction with Amazon Pay, as users initiate payments through their Amazon login and saved information, including payment type and shipping addresses.
