As part of Bigcommerce’s efforts to further build out their platform with a focus on an API driven Commerce-As-A-Service offering, Bigcommerce has launched an easy to use WordPress connecting to allow brands to seamlessly deliver commerce experiences through custom and commercial content management systems while centrally managing catalog, customer and order data through BigCommerce.

Often times content driven merchants and brands complain to the Trellis team about the frontend content management limitations of many of the leading platforms we build on at the core of our solutions, leading our team to suggest expensive custom integrations that combine CMS platforms like WordPress into their respective ecommerce platforms but these costs are often unforeseen as the gaps in CMS power of many ecommerce platforms is largely unknown. However, the prebuilt BigCommerce WordPress integration now available allows content driven brands and their agencies to manage the commerce functionality of Bigcommerce within their existing WordPress platform utilizing a single plug-in, great decreasing the time and effort requires to drive incremental growth in performance and store management through improved conversions derived from a content-driven merchandising approach to eCommerce sales.
