"We're seeing unprecedented demand in the enterprise space as the ecommerce market continues to grow quickly and more merchants are realizing the benefits of SaaS solutions," said Bigcommerce CEO and co-founder Eddie Machaalani. "We're fulfilling this demand by adding upmarket capabilities to our platform, expanding our partner program, and bringing in top-tier enterprise partners with years of experience who are committed to providing the best experience possible for our clients."

Groove, a full-service digital advertising and marketing agency, brings more than two decades worth of experience helping clients build world-class ecommerce experiences to the Bigcommerce partner ecosystem.
